We see God's final judgment upon the earth as God commands the seven angels to pour our the seven bowls of wrath upon humanity. This wrath will bring a horror on earth never seen before, but we don't need to be on around when this happens. Just as the Israelites were protected from God's judgment on Egypt, only the wicked will be destroyed, while His children are spared.

This chapter is the introduction to the terrifying final judgment of God. We see sentencing angels and a worshiping multitude. God is both perfectly just and merciful. He has given everyone the opportunity through His Son Jesus to be spared from His wrath of judgment. Where do you stand today?

John is now shown the reaping of two harvests that will occur in the last days. The harvest of wheat is one of distinction or separation, and the harvest of grapes is one of annihilation. Chapter 14 teaches us that 1) God will establish His Kingdom on earth in spite of Satan's opposition 2) those who reject the gospel of God's grace will face awful judgment 3) the nations of the world today are taking the path to Armageddon. So let's choose God's grace instead of His wrath!
