Revelation 16:12-21

12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the 1great river, the Euphrates; and 2its water was dried up, so that 3the way would be prepared for the kings 4from the 5east. 13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the 6dragon and out of the mouth of the 7beast and out of the mouth of the 8false prophet, three 9unclean spirits like 10frogs; 14for they are 11spirits of demons, 12performing signs, which go out to the kings of the 13whole 14world, to 15gather them together for the war of the 16great day of God, the Almighty. 15(“Behold, 17I am coming like a thief. 18Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, 19so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) 16And they 20gathered them together to the place which 21in Hebrew is called 2223Har-Magedon.

17Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon 24the air, and a 25loud voice came out of the 2627temple from the throne, saying, “28It is done.” 18And there were flashes of 29lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was 30a great earthquake, 31such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 1932The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the 33nations fell. 34Babylon the great was 35remembered before God, to give her 36the cup of the wine of 37His fierce wrath. 20And 38every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And 39huge 40hailstones, about 41one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men 42blasphemed God because of the 43plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely 44severe.
