The Seventh Bowl (Armageddon)
The seventh bowl releases noises, thunderings and lightnings and the biggest earthquake in history which divides Babylon into 3 parts. Every mountain falls, islands move out of place and exceedingly great hail falls from heaven.
Look For
● Noises, Thunder, Lightning
● The biggest earthquake in all history splitting Babylon into 3 parts
● Hailstones each about 34.2kg (75.3 lbs) fall from heaven
● Blasphemy against God
Revelation 16:17-18
“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!” 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. 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. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 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 exceedingly great.”
Hail
A hailstone weight 1 talent would equal 34kg or 75lbs today and would be about the size of 33 litres (8.7gal) of water frozen into a solid block. This block of ice would therefore be 33cm (13in) x 33cm x 33cm. However since only 5% of hail is frozen water it would be much larger than that. It only takes hail the size of a golf ball to kill someone and this hail could be the size of a briefcase (but round).
Earthquake
For the earthquake to be so large that it has never occurred before in human history, it would have to be at least a magnitude 11. This assumes that the reason every mountain and island moved across the planet in the 6th seal was the result of an earthquake and not the sky receding. It would also likely have to be less than magnitude 15 as an earthquake of this scale could potentially wipe out all life on earth. We also know that this earthquake splits Babylon into 3 parts, therefore the epicentre will be somewhere close by.
Babylon will likely be constructed around Al-Hillah in Iraq where the previous Babylon empire was located. The coordinates are 32.478642, 44.451235 (32°28’43.1″ N, 44°27’4.4″ E) if you’re interested. If you want the safest place from the earthquake I recommend the opposite side of the earth which is directly in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Although since there will be catastrophic aftershocks circling the globe it’s likely that many tsunamis will follow, which makes nowhere safe. This is one of your last chances to repent and turn from your ways.
Blasphemy
For people to blaspheme against God they must know that there is a God causing these disasters in the first place, but if you believe that there is a God who created the universe, why would you attempt to go up against Him with mortal weapons?
“It is done!” Revelation 16:17
