The angels pour out their bowls of wrath.6. The plagues that follow. 16. Armageddon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air The seventh angel represents the finality of God's judgment in the series of seven bowls, which are part of the larger sequence of judgments in Revelation. The pouring out of the bowl into the air signifies a comprehensive and all-encompassing judgment, as the air is a universal element that surrounds the earth. In biblical symbolism, the air can also represent the realm of spiritual forces, as seen in Ephesians 2:2, where Satan is referred to as the "prince of the power of the air." This suggests that this judgment may have implications for both the physical and spiritual realms. and a loud voice came from the throne in the temple saying, “It is done!” Persons / Places / Events 1.

Believers can trust in God's ultimate justice and righteousness. The Sovereignty of God The voice from the throne emphasizes God's control over all events. We can find peace in knowing that God is sovereign over history and our lives. The Urgency of Repentance As the final bowl is poured, it serves as a reminder of the urgency to repent and turn to God before His judgment is complete. The Assurance of God's Plan The declaration "It is done" assures believers that God's plan will be fulfilled. We can live with confidence and hope in God's promises. Living in Light of Eternity Understanding the finality of God's judgment should motivate us to live with an eternal perspective, prioritizing what truly matters.(17) And the seventh . . .--Translate, And the seventh (angel) poured out his vial upon the air, and there came forth a voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done. The results of the outpouring of this vial are described in the following verses; but before these are seen, the voice from the throne--God's own voice (see Revelation 16:1)--proclaims, as though rejoicing in the near approach of the happy end, "It is done." The close of these scenes of sin and suffering is now at hand, for the last of the last plagues has been sent forth.Verse 17. - And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. Omit "angel" as before. Upon the air; perhaps as the typical abode of the spirits of evil (cf. Ephesians 2:2, "the prince of the power of the air"); the seat also, so to speak, of the thunders and lightnings which follow. And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. There are slight variations in the text here. The best authorities omit "of heaven." One manuscript, א, instead of "throne" inserts τοῦ Θεοῦ, "of God." (On the characteristic great voice, see on Revelation 6:1, etc.) The same voice as in ver. 1, probably that of God himself, as the words, "from the throne," seem also to show. It is noticeable that here, as in the seal visions and trumpet visions, we are not explicitly informed of the nature of the last vision. We have the accompanying circumstances described in ver. 18, which are always attendant on the last great manifestation, but the end itself is left unrecorded. In the seals, the last vision is described by the silence in heaven; in the trumpets, the nature of the last judgment is only vaguely alluded to in the triumphant heavenly song. So here, only a brief summary is given (vers. 18, 19) of what actually falls as the last extremity of God's wrath; a fuller account is reserved for Revelation 19. Parallel Commentaries ...
