Revelation 16 Footnotes

16:12-16 The sixth bowl of wrath is the preparation for the battle of Armageddon. Many derivations have been proposed for the name Armageddon. It appears to mean “hill of Megiddo.” In the midst of this description is the third blessing statement of the book, warning readers to remain spiritually alert (v. 15). Some have seen the stacked references to the dragon and the beast and the false prophet as a counterfeit “trinity.”
