Scripture Reading
And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea and it came to be blood as of [the] dead and every living soul died in the sea
And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and into the springs of water and it became blood. And I heard from the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, the One who was and the One who is, the pious One, because you have judged these things, that they shed the blood of the holy ones and prophets and you have given them blood to drink. They are worthy.” And I heard from the altar saying, “Yes Lord, the God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”
And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun and it was given to him to burn the humans by fire. And the humans were scorched with a great heat and blasphemed the name of the God, the One having the authority over these strikes and did not repent to express a proper opinion to Him.
And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast and his kingdom came to be in a state of darkness and they chewed their tongues out from the affliction. And they blasphemed the God of the heaven out from their affliction and out from their sores and did not repent out form their works.
And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates and the waters of it dried up, in order that He should prepare the way of the kings from the east. And I saw out from the mouth of the dragon and out from the mouth of the beast and out from the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits as frogs. For the demonic spirits are performing signs, which come upon the kings of the whole inhabited world to gather them unto the war of the great day of the God, the Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Happy is the one who is alert and keeping his garments, in order that he should not walk around naked, and his shame is seen. And they gathered them unto the place called in Hebrew Harmegeddon.
