New King James Version → Новой Женевской Библии

The Seven Bowls

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the [a]bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

² So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a [b]foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are righteous, [c]O Lord,
The One who is and who [d]was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
And You have given them blood to drink.
[e]For it is their just due.”

⁷ And I heard [f]another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings [g]of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, [h]Armageddon.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

¹⁸ And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

¹⁹ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

²⁰ Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

²¹ And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Новой Женевской Библии

16:2 гнойные раны. Ср. Исх 9:8−12.

16:3−4 кровь. Ср. Исх 7:14−24.

16:10 мрачно. Ср. Исх 10:21−23.

16:14 чтобы собрать их на брань. Битва эта описывается в нескольких места Откровения, и всякий раз более подробно и точно; эти описания имеют своей основой эсхатологическую битву Гога и Магога, описанную в 38 и 39 главах книги пророка Иезекииля. На протяжении истории Церкви бывали времена, когда противостояние между Богом и силами сатаны обострялось (2:10, 13), но наибольшее напряжение это противостояние будет иметь перед Вторым пришествием Христа (19:11−21).

16:16 Армагеддон. Очевидно, имеется в виду равнина города Мегиддон, расположенного на главном пути, соединявшем Месопотамию и Египет.

16:17−21 Седьмая чаша завершает цикл язв. Как и другие кары, эта заканчивается описанием Второго пришествия Христа (Введение: Характерные особенности и темы), хотя символика Второго пришествия здесь не столь явна, как в других местах. В 15:1 уже указывалось на то, что конец гнева Божия наступит с излиянием седьмой чаши; исчезновение всех островов и гор (16:20) соответствует последнему землетрясению, описанному в 6:14 и 20:11 (Евр 12:26−27). В другом месте непосредственно за падением Вавилона следует брачный пир Агнца (19:1−10); в 17:14−17 падение Вавилона соединено с последней битвой, которая происходит при Втором пришествии (19:11−21). Всякий раз образ последней битвы в книге Откровение заимствуется из 38 и 39 глав книги Иезекииля (см. ком. к 16:14).

16:17−21 Ср. Иез 38:19−23.
