Notes

Revelation 16:7

I heard the altar reply: The response to the angel’s proclamation (Revelation 16:5–6) confirms God’s authority and justice. This praise during judgment reminds persecuted Christians that God cares about his suffering servants and fulfills his purpose in everything.

Revelation 16:1–21

These seven bowls filled with God's wrath symbolize the final judgments on the world. With the seventh bowl, a voice from God's throne shouts, It is done! (Revelation 16:17; compare John 19:30).
