One only has to look at how God judged the nation He established for His purposes, Israel, to realise God judges nations. I was reading Amos this morning, he was prophesying during a period of national optimism in Israel (around 700 BC). Business is booming and boundaries are bulging. But below the surface greed and injustice are festering. Hypocritical religious motions have replaced true worship, creating a false sense of security and a growing callousness to God’s disciplining hand. As a result God brings famine, drought, plagues, death, destruction including a violent earthquake. Sadly, none of it brought the people to their knees.

It is no surprise therefore to see the world’s response to God pouring out His Bowl Judgements upon the Earth in the coming last days before Jesus returns to rescue Israel and restore righteousness. The time when He sets up His Millennial Kingdom in the newly restored Jerusalem with the glorified Saints. For more on Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

“The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.“ Revelation 16:8-9

Read what happens when God pours out His final, seventh Bowl Judgement:

“The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The great city (Jerusalem)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.” Revelation 16:17-21
