The 7 Plagues:

16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."

The 7 Plagues are also called the 7 Bowls, the 7 Cups, the 7 Vials, the 7 Angels... and hey come from Heaven, from the Tabernacle of the Testimony itself, in answer to the prayers and blood of the martyrs, as we saw in Rev.15.

They are the last call for repentance, the seven last plagues--last, because with them God's wrath is completed (Rev.15:1)... they are the last opportunities for the Church, for you an for me... they are catastrophes in our lives calling for repentance, because God wants all persons in the world to go to eternal Heaven (1Tim.2:5).

The seven plagues can be compared to the warning given in Lev.26:21,24,28.: If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve... people ignored the repentance call of the 7 Seals and the 7 Trumpets, so here come the 7 Bowls...

The 7 Bowls are directed at:
1- The people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image, both Christians and non-Christians (16:2).
2- Those who had shed the blood of the saints and prophets, the martyrs (16:6,7).
3- To the throne of the beast and his kingdom on earth (16:10);
4- To the air where Satan has his dwelling (16:17).

hey follow similar pattern as the 7 Trumpets, and some them remind us the plagues of Egypt: The first four affecting creation: earth, sea, water, cosmos... then two affecting the beast... the final one in which the cities of the nations collapsed.

A difference:
- The 7 Seals affect a quarter of the land.
- The 7 Trumpets affect a third of mankind... and much of mankind refuse to repent.
- The 7 Bowls or Cups with the 7 Plagues affect all mankind who once again refuse to repent.

Bowl 1 is poured out on the land and it effects the people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.
Bowl 2 is poured out on the sea.
Bowl 3 is poured out on the rivers
Bowl 4 is poured out on the sun
Bowl 5 is poured out over the throne of the beast
Bowl 6 is poured out over the Euphrates, the kingdom of the beast on earth
Bowl 7 is poured out into the air, where Satan has his dwelling... the cities of the nations collapsed
