3. Who Are The Plagues Against?
• Revelation 16:1 & 2
• And I heard a great voice out of the temple
saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and
pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the
earth.
• 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his
vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and
grievous sore upon the men which had the
mark of the beast, and [upon] them which
worshipped his image.

4. A VITAL POINT TO REMEMBER
• REV. 14:9,10
• And the third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive [his] mark in his
forehead, or in his hand,
• 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God,
• The Beast has a mark of identification and an
image is made unto it.
• The wrath of God is against the Mark and Image

5. TWO VITAL POINTS
• 1.The plagues are directed against those who
have the MARK OF THE BEAST and it’s IMAGE
• 2. Rev. 14:12 “Here is the patience of the
saints: here [are] they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
– The saints are commandment keepers
Sabbath keepers
– Those who have the Mark of the Beast do not
keep the commandments

6. Winston Churchill
Former Prime Minister of England
• Made this statement at the close of World War 2, after
the atomic bomb had been dropped on Japan.
• “Death stands at attention, obedient,
expectant, ready to serve, ready to shear away the
peoples in masses; ready, if called on, to pulverize,
without hope of repair, what is left of civilization. He
awaits only the command.”
• If this is what man can do – what will God do as He
brings the conflict of good and evil to an end? You will
see as we get to plague number 7.

7. PLAGUES UPON THE EARTH
• NOT ON A NATION – THE ENTIRE EARTH
• SOME PLAGUES ARE UNIVERSAL
• EVERYONE WHO HAS THE MARK OF THE
BEAST GETS THE GRIEVOUS SORE
• SEAS BECOME BLOOD
• FRESH WATER BECOMES BLOOD
• PLAGUE OF HEAT
• PLAGUE OF DARKNESS
• PLAGUE ON THE SEAT OF THE BEAST

8. The Last Battle
--The Battle of Armageddon -• Since 1944 or the close of W.W. ll there
have been over 125 more wars.
• Armageddon will be the last and different
• At Armageddon God intervenes in behalf
of his persecuted people
• God delivers his people and punishes the
wicked through the Battle of Armageddon.
• Then Jesus comes in the clouds of
heaven and brings the world to an end

9. The Plagues
• Each plague gets more severe and
continues as other plagues come upon
the scene.

14. THIS PASSAGE INDICATES THE
DEATH DECREE
• REV.13:15 “And he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause that
as many as would not worship the image of
the beast should be killed.”
• When the wicked make this law God gives
them blood to drink.
• When this law goes into effect, the death
decree, the seventh plague starts.

15. AT THIS TIME
• God protects and delivers
his people

19. Euphrates dried up
• Water = people = Babylon = Rome
• Daniel 11:44,45 Tidings out of the east trouble
him –
• Verse 45 He shall come to his end
• Rev. 16:10 Seat of the Beast in darkness
• Could these two events prepare the way for the
kings of the east?
• From these two prophecies it will be very evident
who the Beast is but the image may be
somewhat in doubt as Protestantism is the
image maker.

20. SUMMATION OF THE
6TH PLAGUE
1. Euphrates dried up
2. The way of the kings of the east might be
prepared
3. Three unclean spirits from;
the dragon, the beast, false prophet
4. Working miracles before the kings of the
earth
5. To gather them for the great day

21. SUMMATION OF THE
6TH PLAGUE
• 7. Gathered them into a place
• The Greek word is : “TOPOS”
• A geographical location, a place in a book,
figuratively, a condition or a situation
• Three different meanings in translations; a place,
• Luke 4:17
• And there was delivered unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book,
he found the place where it was written,

22. SUMMATION OF THE
6TH PLAGUE
• The second place: Acts. 25:16
• “To whom I answered, It is not the
manner of the Romans to deliver any
man to die, before that he which is
accused have the accusers face to
face, and have licence (topos place permission) to answer for himself
concerning the crime laid against him.”

23. SUMMATION OF THE
6TH PLAGUE
• The third place. Hebrews 12:17
• “For ye know how that afterward, when
he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected: for he found no place
of repentance, though he sought it
carefully with tears.”
• He found no place in his thinking, in his
mind

24. Gathered them together into a
place
• Rev. 16:16
• “And he gathered them together into a
place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.”
• This place is for the Battle of
Armageddon, the battle of good and evil
• All God’s saints are not in one place as
they are all over the earth

25. “Therefore”
• The nations are gathered together in a
place, or in a place in their thinking, by
the three unclean spirits, to set a date, to
destroy all the saints. All nations come to
an agreement for this action
• He gathered them together in a place
called Armageddon
• There is no known geographical site called
Armageddon

26. Therefore
• The word “ARMAGEDDON”
•
DIFFERENT GREEK MANUSCRIPTS HAVE DIFFERENT SPELLING FOR
THIS WORD
•
•
“Har-mo-edth” mountain where God has his throne
“Har-migdo” His fruitful mountain or Mount Zion, the place of God’s
Church
When the wicked come up against God’s people, on that great day
(v.14) that place is called Armageddon for they are fighting against
God’s people – His Church - in every nation, world wide.
That great day is the day when they have detrermined to destroy all
God’s people.
This is not a battle of the nations but rather Satan trying to wipe
God’s saints off the earth.
At that time, that is when God says, IT IS DONE! IT’S ALL OVER!
The tide is turned

27. Armageddon
• The seventh plague shows how God fights
for and delivers his people from the death
decree and brings the world to an end.
