THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
• Will the mercy of God end for the
disobedient?
• Revelation 15:1
• Then I saw another sign in heaven,
great and marvelous; seven angels
having the seven last plagues, for in
them the wrath of God is complete.
1-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
God will pour out His wrath without
mixture (Rev. 14:10) by sending on the
disobedient SEVEN TERRIBLE
PLAGUES just before Christ appears at
the last day. Mercy is then no longer
extended to the DISOBEDIENT.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
What are these terrible plagues?
Rev 16:1-21
Then I heard a loud voice from the
temple saying to the seven angels, “Go
and pour out the bowls of the wrath of
God on the earth.”
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
2 So the first went and poured out his
bowl upon the earth, and a foul and
loathsome sore came upon the men
who had the mark of the beast and
those who worship his image.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
3 Then the second angel poured out his
bowl on the sea, and it became blood
as of a dead man; and every living
creature in the sea died.
4 Then the third angel poured out his
bowl on the rivers and springs of water,
and they became blood.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
5 And I heard the angel of the waters
saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The
One who is and who was and who is to
be, Because You have judged these
things.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints
and prophets, And You have given
them blood to drink. For it is their just
due.”
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
7 And I heard another from the altar
saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are Your
judgments.”
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his
bowl on the sun, and power was given
to him to scorch men with fire.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
9 And men were scorched with great heat,
and they blasphemed the name of God
who has power over these plagues; and
they did not repent and give Him glory.
10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl
on the throne of the beast, and his
kingdom became full of darkness; and
they gnawed their tongues because of the
pain.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
11 They blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores,
and did not repent of their deeds.
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl
on the great river Euphrates, and its water
was dried up, so that the way of the kings
from the east might be prepared.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs coming out of the mouth of the
dragon, out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false
prophet.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
14 For they are the spirits of demons,
performing signs, which go out to the
kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
15 “Behold I am coming as a thief.
Blessed is he who watches, and keeps
his garments, lest he walk naked and
they see his shame.”
16 And he gathered them together to the
place called in the Hebrew,
Armageddon.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
17 Then the seventh angel poured out
his bowl into the air, and a loud voice
came out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 And there were noises and
thunderings and lightnings; and there
was a great earthquake, such a mighty
and great earthquake as had not
occurred since men were on the earth.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
19 Now the great city was divided into
three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell. And great Babylon was
remembered before God, to give her
the cup of the wine of the fierceness
of His wrath.
20 Then every island fled away, and
the mountains were not found.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
21 And great hail from heaven fell upon
men, each hailstone about the weight
of a talent. Men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the hail, since
that plague was exceeding great.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
The first plague will be a terrible sore
on all the millions of people have the
mark of the beast on their forehead
or in their hand. Under the second
plague the sea will be turned to
blood; the third plague the rivers and
fountains, the source of man’s
drinking water, will be turned to
blood for men to drink.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
This will be like the plague that came
on the Egyptians when their water was
turned to blood for seven days
(Ex. 7:17-25). Under the fourth plague,
the sun will scorch men with terrible
heat. Under the fifth plague will come a
darkness that can be felt.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Under the sixth plague, the devil’s three
generals - the dragon, the beast, and
the false prophet - will attempt to
marshal the whole world to fight
against God in the battle of the great
day of God Almighty.
2-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Under the seventh plague great
hailstones will fall, weighing a talent
each, which according to our system of
weights is 57 pounds. Nothing like this
has ever happened: so it must be in
the future.
3-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
How long will the plagues fall?
Revelation 18:8, 10, 17, 19
“Therefore her plagues will come in
one day -- death and mourning and
famine. And she will be utterly burned
with fire, for strong is the Lord God
who judges her.
3-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
10 “standing at a distance for fear of her
torment, saying, ’Alas, alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour
your judgment has come.’
17 ‘For in one hour such great riches came
to nothing. Every shipmaster, all who
travel by ship, sailors, and as many as
trade on the sea, stood at a distance
3-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
19 “They threw dust on their heads and
cried out, weeping and wailing, and
saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city , in
which all who had ships on the sea
became rich by her wealth! For in one
hour she is made desolate.’
3-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
These plagues will all come in a very
short period of time while Jesus is
coming down to this earth.
Revelation 22:12
4-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
What happens during the seventh
plague?
Revelation 16:17,20
17 Then the seventh angel poured out
his bowl into the air, and a loud voice
came out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
4-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
20 Then every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found.
When the time comes for the islands
and mountains to be moved out of their
places by this last mighty earthquake,
then Christ will appear through the
opening heavens.
Rev. 16:14-17
5-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Will man be able to enter the temple for
forgiveness during the plagues?
Revelation 15:5-8
After these things I looked, and behold,
the temple of the tabernacle of the
testimony in heaven was opened.
5-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
6 And out of the temple came the
seven angels having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure bright linen,
and having their chests girded with
golden bands.
7 Then one of the four living creatures
gave to the seven angels seven
golden bowls full of the wrath of God
who lives forever and ever.
5-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
8 The temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God and from His power,
and no one was able to enter the
temple till the seven plagues of the
seven angels were completed.
5-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
During the time when these plagues are
being poured out, Jesus Christ, our High
Priest and Mediator, will no longer plead
the merits of His shed blood for sinners.
During the time of these plagues there
will be no forgiveness for sin. We must
turn to God NOW to receive forgiveness
and cleansing from every sin. VICTORY
over sin (the transgression of God’s law,
I John 3:4) must be NOW. When the
plagues begin to fall there will be no
opportunity then to receive forgiveness.
6-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Is everyone’s case decided before the
plagues fall?
Revelation 22:11,12
“He who is unjust, let him be unjust
still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy
still; he that is righteous, let him be
righteous still; he who is holy, let him
be holy still.”
6-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
12 “And behold, I come quickly, and
My reward is with Me, to give every
one according to his work.
• Before the plagues begin to fall,
every person’s case will have been
decided forever. Christ will
pronounce this decree of Rev. 22:11
at the close of His intercessory and
mediatorial work.
6-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
He will cease to plead for sinners as
man’s High Priest. Then the plagues of
God’s unmixed wrath will fall upon the
disobedient. These Scriptures make it
plain that the seven last plagues will come
during the short interval between the time
when Christ ceases His mediatorial work
as our High Priest and His appearing in
the sky above us.
7-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Who is protected during the
plagues?
Psalms 91:7-10
A thousand may fall at your side, And
ten thousand at your right hand; But it
shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And
see the reward of the wicked.
7-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
9 Because you have made the LORD,
who is my refuge, Even the Most High,
your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any
plague come near your dwelling;
7-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Those who are OBEDIENT TO GOD and
who trust wholly in Jesus, will be
protected during these plagues.
Rev. 3:10, Joel 3:16, Ps. 46:1-3
8-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Who will stand during the plagues?
Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints; here
are those who keep the
commandments of God and the faith of
Jesus.
8-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
The only way we can hope to escape the
plagues and have the protection of God
during this terrible time is to turn to
Him NOW in full OBEDIENCE TO ALL
HIS COMMANDMENTS AND THE FATIH
OF JESUS.
9-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
When should we seek the LORD?
Isaiah 55:6,7
Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
9-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And
the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let
him return unto the LORD, And He will
have mercy on him; And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
9-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
It will be too late to attempt to prepare
when the plagues begin to fall. The
decree of Rev. 22:11 will be pronounced
before the plagues begin. Since no
man can set a date when this will be,
the only safe course is to DAILY live a
life in complete harmony with God’s
expressed will.
10-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
• Were people able to get into the ark
when it started to rain?
• Gen 7:1,4,16
• Then the LORD said unto Noah, “Come
into the ark, you and all your
household, because I have seen that
you are righteous before Me in this
generation.
10-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
4 “For after seven more days I will cause it
to rain on the earth forty days and forty
nights, and I will I destroy from the face of
the earth all living things that I have
made.”
16 So those that entered, male and female
of all flesh, as God had commanded him;
and the LORD shut him in.
10-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
The door of the ark was closed seven
days before the Flood came. All who were
saved had to enter the ark before the
Flood began. So all who will be saved in
this great coming world crisis will have to
turn to God in obedience before Jesus
closes the door of pardon and mercy and
pours out His wrath in the seven last
plagues.
11-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Can you enter a door the Master has
closed?
Luke 13:24-28
Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
for many, I say to you, will seek to enter
and will not be able.
11-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
25 “When once the Master of the house
has risen up and shut to the door, and
you begin to stand outside and knock
at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open
for us; and He will answer and say to
you, I do not know you, where you are
from,’
11-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
26 “then you will begin to say, ‘We ate
and drank in Your presence, and You
taught in our streets.’
27 “But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not
know you, where you are from. Depart
from Me, all you workers of iniquity.
11-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
28 “There will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when you shall see Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob and all the
prophets in the kingdom of God, and
yourselves thrust out.
Many will try in vain to enter when the
door has been closed and it is forever
too late. Jer 8:20
12-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
When should we be ready to meet
Jesus?
Matthew 24:44
“Therefore you also be ready, for the
Son of man is coming at an hour you
do not expect.
12-SP
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
We should be ready every day. God’s
time is always NOW. (2 Cor 6:2) God
never tells us to put our salvation and
obedience off until tomorrow -- only
Satan would tell us to delay a
preparation for the coming of Christ.
