BOWL #6 CALLED TO ARMAGEDDON
REVELATION 16:12-16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and
the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that
great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments,
lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
“The time has come for the fighting of that final war of the age, the name of which has
become a byword among men since John first wrote it down–Armageddon! God has chosen
the Holy Land as the stage upon which two crucial events take place, one on a mountain,
and one on a plain. Mount Calvary and the Plain of Megiddo are the two altars of sacrifice
that dominate the history of the world. We are told three things about the armies, which now
begin their fateful march toward Megiddo . The Holy Spirit of God has chosen five capable
authors to describe for us in clear and chilling language that most famous of all battles — Armageddon!
The five authors include David, Isaiah, Joel, Zechariah, and John.
In his little booklet entitled “Profiles of Prophecy”, Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon writes, Is this the
final battle? No it isn’t. One more is in Revelation 20.
The location of the battle? Dr. Herman A. Hoyt describes the location:2
Thus there would seem to be at least four important names involved in the battle of Armageddon:
Marvin Vincent writes concerning Armageddon and its location , The reasons for the battle: What will
draw all the nations of the world into the area of Armageddon? They will gather themselves there
for perhaps various reasons. It would seem that the following are three of the more important reasons:
1. The chronology of the battle:
2. The drying up of the Euphrates River (Revelation 16:12).
Dr. Donald Barnhouse quotes Seiss in describing this: Thus, when this watery barrier is removed tens
of millions of soldiers from China, India, and other Asian powers will march straight for Armageddon
and destruction!
3. The destruction of Jerusalem :
1. Their end is INESCAPABLE
2. Their defeat is ULTIMATE
3. Our King is UNCONQUERABLE
Are you triumphing? 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ,
and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. We are more than conquerors;
Victory in Jesus. So, in v. 12-16 Jesus has CONQUERING POWER as the One who always leads us into triumph
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
