"AND THE SEVENTH ONE POURED OUT What will this mean for mankind? That since mankind's opportunity of repentance and salvation through the "good news" of The Christ has already been "brought to a finish", the outpouring of the seventh and last "bowl" of the righteous indignation of God upon all spirit rebellion of mankind and their systems of injustice will be to bring His anger to a finish. Then it can be said: "It has come to pass!" (Rev 10:7. 16:17-21).
EPHESIANS 2:2. Paul describes those subjecting themselves to the evil spirit "authority of the air" of this present age as dead in their sins "under the dreadful Judgement of God." (2:1-5 NEB). In the "coming system of things", only those being brought to life in union with The Christ will know the undeserved kindness of God and His graciousness toward them. (2:5,7). Now that spiritual events voiced by the seventh "trumpet" have finished, the blowing of the seventh "trumpet" and the outpouring of the seventh "bowl" of the anger of God will be the appointed time for the living dead (those without The Christ) to be judged. (Rev 11:18). It should be noted that mankind are judged out of all seven "bowls" of the anger of God.
"UPON THE AIR". The outpouring of the righteous indignation of Almighty God upon those responsible for the integration and maintenance of the "system of things of this world" will expose all its evil elements. It will expose all forms of tyranny and exploitation employed by bureaucratic institutions of the political "wild beast" and the apostasy of sectarian religions of "Babylon" being supported by this vehicle. It will cause social unrest in every city of the world. The outpouring of the seventh "bowl" in the spirits of all mankind will cause the complete breakdown of systems founded on the pursuit of material wealth and sensual fulfilment. It will cause the cities of the nations to fall! (Rev 16:17-21). These events are an essential prerequisite for Almighty God to usher in a righteous new order for His saved ones. "Time was when you were dead in your sins and wickedness, when you followed the evil ways of this present age, when you obeyed the commander of the spiritual powers of the air, the spirit now at work among God's rebel subjects. We too were once of their number: we all lived our lives in sensuality, and obeyed the promptings of our own instincts and notions. In our natural condition we, like the rest, lay under the dreadful Judgement of God." (Eph 2:1-3 NEB). (Cont. on Page 3/12/85).
