Revelation
[Verse 1] Seven angels left the temple With seven bowls of holy wrath. Sores, blood, heat, dark, and battle Marked the world's rebellious path. Euphrates dried, and spirits gathered Kings toward Armageddon's plain. The final bowl broke air with thunder: "It is done," and cities changed. [Refrain] Babylon is fallen, The merchant queen is dust. Her gold, her wine, her human cargo Could not purchase life from judgment. Babylon is fallen; Come out and share not in her stain. The smoke of pride rises upward, Never to enthrone again. [Verse 2] Heaven opened; a white horse carried One called Faithful, True, and just. Eyes like fire, crowns upon Him, Nations struck beneath the word. The beast and false prophet were taken; The dragon bound, then loosed and cast. Fire consumed the final rebellion; Every false dominion passed. [Judgment Chorus] A great white throne. Earth and heaven fled. Books were opened. Sea gave up the dead. Each stood judged by written works; Death and hell were cast in flame. Whosoever was not found Within the book of life met the same. [Final Refrain] Babylon is fallen. The ancient serpent has no throne. Judgment clears the ruined ground For a world made wholly new.

About the passage

Revelation 15: A victory song stands before the final plagues

The Book of Revelation introduces the seven last plagues as the completion of divine wrath, yet before any bowl is poured it shows those who have overcome the beast, its image, its mark, and the number of its name. They stand by a glasslike sea mingled with fire and sing a song called both the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. Their victory is not described as military conquest but as faithful refusal of the beast's claims. Their song praises God's works, justice, truth, holiness, and the coming worship of the nations. Then the temple of the tabernacle of testimony opens in heaven. Seven angels emerge in pure linen, receive golden bowls from one of the living creatures, and stand while smoke from God's glory fills the sanctuary. No one can enter until the plagues are completed. Covenant language, worship, and judgment remain joined at the threshold of the final sequence.

Revelation 16: The bowls bring the conflict to its appointed gathering

Seven bowls pour judgment over the beast's worshipers and the world that supports them. The first three bring sores and turn sea, rivers, and springs to blood, while heavenly voices explicitly connect the blood judgment with the blood of saints and prophets. The fourth and fifth bowls bring scorching heat and darkness, yet pain does not produce repentance. The sixth dries the Euphrates and releases deceptive spirits from the dragon, beast, and false prophet to gather rulers for battle at Armageddon. In the middle of that gathering, Christ's warning about watchfulness reaches back to the church messages. The seventh bowl is poured into the air and receives the declaration, "It is done." The Book of Revelation then shows unparalleled earthquake, falling cities, Babylon remembered for judgment, vanished islands and mountains, and crushing hail, while the final human response remains blasphemy rather than repentance.

Revelation 17: Babylon's allies become the agents of her fall

One of the bowl angels shows John Babylon as a richly adorned woman riding a scarlet beast. Purple, scarlet, gold, jewels, and pearls create a dazzling exterior, while her cup contains abominations and her intoxication is the blood of saints and Jesus' witnesses. The angel then interprets the imagery through waters, mountains, kings, and the beast's strange pattern of appearing, disappearing, and returning. Some details remain disputed, but the beast's destination does not: perdition. Ten kings unite their authority with him and make war against the Lamb, only to be overcome by the one called Lord of lords and King of kings. Then the alliance turns inward. The same horns that support the beast hate Babylon and destroy her. The Book of Revelation reveals the instability beneath her glamour: the powers that carry the city become the agents of its collapse within the larger fulfillment of God's words.
