About this listen
In Revelation 16, we see the Bowl Judgments — God’s final cycle of judgment at the end of the last days. These events parallel the plagues of Egypt, reminding us that God’s judgments in history are always righteous, always purposeful, and always perfectly just. But they also show us God’s heart — even in the very last moments, He is still calling people to repentance.
Peter tells us (2 Peter 3) that the only reason Jesus has not returned yet is because God is patient — He desires that more people come to salvation. But there will come a day when God’s patience runs out, and judgment will finally come. Revelation 16 also reminds us that Jesus will return unexpectedly “like a thief,” so believers must stay faithful, prepared, and uncompromised.
Armageddon (mentioned only here in Scripture) represents the final overthrow of evil. However it unfolds, Scripture is clear: God will defeat Satan, evil will be judged, and believers will dwell with Christ in the new heavens and the new earth.
So what kind of people should we be? Peter answers it clearly: we should live holy and godly lives as we wait for the return of Christ — and we should urgently bring the gospel to the lost.
