Summary of Revelation 16:15-21
The battle of Armageddon occurred. The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” There was a great earthquake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. The island and mountains disappeared. Hail fell on people. The people cursed God because of the plague of hail.
