七つの鉢

The seven bowls of God's wrath poured out in Revelation 16, representing the final and most severe judgments. They parallel the plagues of Egypt: painful sores (16:2), sea turned to blood (16:3), rivers turned to blood (16:4), scorching sun (16:8), darkness (16:10), the Euphrates dried up (16:12), and devastating earthquake with hailstones (16:17-21). These bowls complete God's wrath (15:1). An angel declares, 'You are just in these judgments, O Holy One' (16:5). Despite the severity, humanity 'refused to repent and glorify him' (16:9). The bowls demonstrate that God's judgment is thorough, just, and ultimately serves his redemptive purposes.
