Apocalipsis 16:13-21

13 Y vi salir de la boca del dragón, y de la boca de la bestia, y de la boca del falso profeta, tres espíritus inmundos a manera de ranas

14 Porque son espíritus de demonios, que hacen milagros, para ir a los reyes de la tierra y de todo el mundo, para congregarlos para la batalla de aquel gran día del Dios Todopoderoso

15 He aquí, yo vengo como ladrón: Bienaventurado el que vela, y guarda sus vestiduras, para que no ande desnudo, y vean su fealdad

16 Y los congregó en el lugar que en hebreo se llama Armagedón

17 Y el séptimo ángel derramó su copa por el aire; y salió una gran voz del templo del cielo desde el trono, diciendo: Hecho es

18 Entonces fueron hechos relámpagos y voces y truenos; y hubo un gran temblor de tierra, un terremoto tan grande, cual no fue jamás desde que los hombres han estado sobre la tierra

19 Y la gran ciudad fue partida en tres partes, y las ciudades de los gentiles se cayeron; y Babilonia la grande vino en memoria delante de Dios, para darle el cáliz del vino de la indignación de su ira

20 Y toda isla huyó, y los montes no fueron hallados

21 Y descendió del cielo sobre los hombres un gran granizo cada piedra como del peso de un talento; y los hombres blasfemaron de Dios por la plaga del granizo, porque su plaga fue hecha muy grande

Apocalipsis 16:13-21 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO REVELATION 16

This chapter gives an account of the pouring out of the seven vials by the angels; their orders for it are in Re 16:1. The first angel pours out his vial on the earth, the effect of which is a noisome and grievous sore upon the followers of antichrist, and the worshippers of his image, Re 16:2. The second pours out his upon the sea; the events of it are, the sea became blood, and every living creature in it died, Re 16:3. The third pours out his upon the rivers and fountains of water, which thereby became blood; upon which the angel of the waters applauds the justice of God, declaring the righteousness of his judgments, and giving a reason for it; and which is confirmed by another angel from the altar, Re 16:4-7. The fourth angel pours out his vial on the sun, the effects of which are, scorching men with heat, their blasphemy against God, and impenitence, Re 16:8,9. The fifth pours out his on the seat of the beast, the consequences of which are darkness in his kingdom, men gnawing their tongues because of their pains, their blasphemy of the name of God because of them, and their impenitence, Re 16:10,11. The sixth angel pours out his on the river Euphrates, and what followed upon it are, the drying up of that river to make way for the kings of the east; there unclean spirits are seen, described by their original, coming out of the mouths of the dragon, beast, and false prophet; by their form, like frogs; by their internal nature, spirits of devils; by their works, doing miracles; by the errand they are sent, and go upon, to gather the kings of the earth to the battle of God Almighty, which they succeed in; but before this is done, a declaration is made of the suddenness of Christ's coming, exciting the saints to watchfulness, and to keep their garments, that they might not be naked, and exposed to shame, Re 16:12-16 Then the seventh angel pours out his vial into the air, the consequences of which are, a voice from heaven declaring it is done: other voices, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake; a rupture of the great city into three parts; the fall of other cities; the remembrance of Babylon before God; the flight of every island and mountain, and a great hail storm, which causes men to blaspheme God, Re 16:17-21.
