  SPEAKER_00: Time to open our Bible to Revelation as Donald Perkins comes with today's lesson in our understanding revelation series.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: Now last time I was with you, we were in Revelation chapter 15 when we saw these uh seven angels receiving the seven vile judgments uh from uh from the living creature, living creatures of Revelation chapter 4.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: And the Bible says that what's gonna happen, uh these uh this living creature is gonna give them these vials full of the wrath of God.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: Now, what we're gonna do now, we're gonna literally go into chapter 16, and we're gonna begin to look at this this amazing judgment.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I want to bring in our prophecy chart and show you exactly where we are.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're in the book of Book of Revelation, we're at the mid part of the of the great tribulation going forward.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: These seven vowed judgments will be the conclusion of the judgments of God on those in the great tribulation period.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: So I want to start off with a quote here from Dr.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: John F.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Walrant from his book Uh Revelation.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: Listen what he said.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: He called it, he called this subject the bowls of God's wrath.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: He said, The seven bowls have often been compared to the seven seals and to the seven trumpets, especially the latter.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: One interpretation uh has been to view the bowls as merely an enlargement on the trumpet judgments, corresponding numerically to them.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: There is undoubtedly many similarities between the trumpet judgments and the judgments inflicted by the pouring out of the vows.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: In both the trumpet and bowls, the first in the series deal with the earth, the second, the sea, the third, the rivers and fountains of waters, the fourth with the sun, the fifth with darkness, and the sixth with the Euphrates River, and the seventh with lightnings, thunderings, and a great earthquake.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Now, what we're gonna do now, we're gonna literally begin to go into this last set of judgments.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: And again, this is the complete judgment of God's wrath during the tribulation on those men and women who have turned their back, who have rebelled, who have rejected God's love advance, those who have formed an alliance with the Antichrist.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Now, we're gonna pick up here Revelation chapter 16, verse number one.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: John wrote this, and I heard a great voice out of the temple saying unto the seven angels, Go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: So the command from heaven, from the throne, from the temple of God, God says, Go and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: Now, what we're gonna see now is these angels as they begin to pour out the judgments of God in the tribulation.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: So we are now look at the first angel as he pours out his wrath.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: This is found in Revelation chapter 16, verse number two.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Listen at this.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: And the first went and poured out his vowel upon the earth, and there fell nawsome and grievous sores upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them that worshiped his image.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Now, what's amazing about this is that the first judgment that God's gonna deal with in the vow judgments is a judgment that is exclusive on those men and women who received the mark of the beast.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you remember in chapter 15 Revelation, God did something that was unique, something he had never done before.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: He released three angels to fly in the midst of the tribulation season to warn men not to take the mark of the beast, to preach the everlasting gospel, and to warn about the fall of Babylon.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: But what was so amazing was his warning to men not to take the mark of the beast.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: He warned them that if they would take that mark of the beast, that they would they would literally experience the full uh wrath of God that would be poured out upon them without mixture, meaning that this wrath will be poured out without the mercies of God.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: So, what God does for those people who took the mark of the beast and those who worship Antichrist in the tribulation, the first vow of judgment is exclusive for you.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: These nawsome, grievous, smelly sores, these boils will cover their bodies.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's like God saying, You want a mark?
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm gonna give you a mark now that's gonna that's gonna be with you throughout the rest of the Great Tribulation.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I want to quote it from the book, Revelation, hearing the last word by David Levy.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna quote him a lot in this part because I just love his commentary.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: He says, When the first angel poured out his bowl upon the earth, there fell a foul and painful sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon them who worshipped his image.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: Two, this judgment will involve a foul-smelling, malignant uh ulcer, like a boil that is extremely painful and will not heal.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: It is similar to the sixth plague poured out upon upon Egypt, uh, found in Exodus chapter 9, verses 8 through 12.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: The plague will be limited to those who took the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Their destiny is damnation in the lake of fire, but before that torment, they will suffer from this judgment during the great tribulation.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now listen, this is an amazing, amazing judgment here.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, he's referencing Revelation chapter 14, verses 9 through 11, where God sent that angel to warn them that if they take the mark of the beast, that they would uh drink of the wine of his wrath, and that they would literally go to the lake of fire uh where their uh where their uh where the fire is not quenched, they will be tormented day and night, the Bible says forever and ever.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: And he said that the smoke of their torments will ascend up forever and ever.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: So here, the first judgment that God releases on man will be upon those who have taken the mark of the beast.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: These are men and women who've turned their back on God, those who have formed an alliance with the Antichrist and uh Satan himself.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: Now, let's move to the next one.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: This is Revelation chapter 16, verse number three.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and the sea became as the blood of a dead man, and every living soul died in the sea.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is amazing.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, when the second angel pours his vial into the earth, the Bible says here that the sea will become like the blood of a dead man, uh, and every living soul in the sea, and I I guarantee you it's gonna be smelly, uh stinky.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, can you uh have you ever been around the red tide when it comes in?
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know, red tide, uh, you know, you have all the dead animals of the sea and it kind of washes up on up on the land.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: And you're talking about a horrible smell.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: It is such a horrible smell.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: But this is gonna be just like that, but except this is gonna be the judgment of God as this angel pours out that vial uh upon upon mankind.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: And look at this, look at this picture.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: This is a picture here uh of of a red tide, you know.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh here you got different fish that washed up.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: You have a well here, uh, you have birds in the back flying, you know, I guess to kind of reap the harvest.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: But what a horrible smell that's gonna come upon man during that time.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I want to quote again from the book Revelation, hearing the last word, uh David Levy.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: He said, When the second angel poured out his his bowl, the sea became like the blood of a dead man, and every living soul died in the sea.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: This refers to all uh salt water uh seas.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: The text does not say that the sea become the blood of a dead man, but become like the blood of a dead man.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: The sea will turn into a thick uh mass, producing a putrid stench like that of a decaying corpse.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: This condition will cause unimaginable disease and death.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: This judgment is similar to the first plague upon Egypt, found in Exodus chapter 7, verses 19 through 21.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: When all the fish died, it is also similar to the second trumpet judgment, when a fiery mountain uh will be cast uh into the sea, turning one-third of the sea to blood and killing a one-third of sea life.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: This is Revelation chapter 8, verses 8 and 9.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: All marine life will be destroyed, severely affecting the world's food supply.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, God is doing some amazing events here with this final wrath of the Great Tribulation.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: He is unleashing unprecedented judgment worldwide upon mankind, upon Antichrist and his kingdom and those who formed an alliance with him.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: Now we're moving forward.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: I want to go to the next angel.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is the third angel who's gonna pour his vow judgment uh into the great tribulation.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: We find this in Revelation chapter 16, verses 4 and 5.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: John wrote, And the third angel poured out his vow upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and they became blood, and I heard the angel of the water say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art and has and shall be, because thou hast judged thus.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: I love this.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: The waters and the fountains will become blood, but an angel proclaims to God, God, you are righteous in judging mankind with this kind of judgment.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: God, you are right to judge them.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: Verses six and seven, listen at this.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink, for they are worthy.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I heard another out of the altar saying, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: So God is gonna judge uh the rivers and fountains, and God's gonna give mankind blood to drink, but he's giving it to them because they have shed the blood of his saints and of his prophets.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible says here that God's gonna give them blood to drink as a result.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: This is an amazing uh judgment here.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: Look at this picture here, you know, the the rivers and fountains uh becoming like blood.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Mankind will have blood to drink during the time of the great tribulation.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be like this world has never seen.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I want to quote again from the book of Revelation, hearing from the last, uh hearing the last word, David Levy.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Listen what he says.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: When the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of water, they became blood in verse number four.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: This judgment will affect all of the world's fresh uh water springs, rivers, lakes.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: This judgment is similar to the third trumpet judgment, when the meteor wormwood will fall upon one-third of fresh water, polluting it and rendering it poisonous.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Many people who drink the water will die.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: Revelation 8, verses 10, uh 10 through 11, 10 and 11.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like the Egyptians uh in Exodus chapter 7, verse 24.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: People will dig for fresh water only to find that it too will turn to blood, uh, turn to blood, and is unfit for human consumption.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Without water, people will go mad, people will stop at nothing to quench their thirst.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: We can only imagine the agony, the panic, and the death this pollution will create.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, God is doing supernatural events in the great tribulation.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: This is the closing judgments of God's wrath upon the Antichrist, upon men who formed an alliance with him.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: God's gonna judge them.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: You murdered my prophets, you killed my saints, and therefore you will receive my judgments.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: God's judgment will literally come and fall upon these men.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now let's move to the next uh vowel judgment, which is the fourth one.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: This is found in Revelation chapter 16, verses 8 and 9.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: John wrote, And the fourth angel poured out his vowel upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire, and men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which had power over these plagues, and they repented not to give him glory.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this tells me something here.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Look at this picture here.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: This this man is gonna be gonna be scorched by the sun's heat.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: But rather than repent and give glory to God, they're gonna blaspheme the God of heaven.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this tells me, this tells me evidently, these people who do this, evidently at this point, they are reprobate, uh, meaning that God has given them over.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Many of them by this time uh had received the mark of the beast and worshiped uh the antichrist in his image.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: These people will be eternally doomed and damned.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: And here they know that these judgments are being poured out by God.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: And what they're gonna do rather than repent, they're gonna blaspheme the God of heaven.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: Quoting again, Revelation, hearing the last word, uh David Levy.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: I like what he said.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: The fourth angel pours out his bow, his bowl upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: Verse 8.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: This judgment, like the fourth trumpet, involves the sun, yet it is quite different.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Under the fourth trumpet, one third of the sun will be darkened.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: Chapter 8, verse 12.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: But here the sun intensifies, uh, the sun's intensity will be supernaturally increased by God, causing it to scorch people with fire.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Men will be scorched alive under this judgment.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Again, again, God's gonna do supernatural things in the heavenlies.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: God is showing man I'm in control of the universe, I'm in control of the elements, I'm in control of the stars, the moon, the sun.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: God says, I'm in control, I'm a sovereign God, and God's gonna show prideful man that he is nothing but but uh but a mere flicker uh uh of life to God.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: God's gonna judge men.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: Men will give an account for their life.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say this warning to you.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, if you're watching this program and you're not born again, listen, repent today and receive Christ.

  SPEAKER_01: Listen, you may be living in sin today, you may be doing it your way, you may be taking all the gusto out of life.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: I want to warn you today, stop it.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: Surrender your life to Jesus Christ before it's too late.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: The Antichrist, the mark of the beast, Armageddon, and the glorious return of Jesus Christ.

• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: There are some people who become so much a part of a ministry that it is difficult to imagine the ministry without them.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: For many years, Danny Phillips was one of those people here at Southwest Radio Ministries.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: He was more than a longtime member of our staff.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: He was part of our ministry family.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: Behind every broadcast, every resource, and every effort to share the truth of God's word, are faithful people whose contributions may never be fully known this side of heaven.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: Danny was one of those people.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: Today, we want to set aside a few moments to remember a man who meant so much to this ministry, and to those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him with grateful hearts.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: We honor the life, the service, and the lasting legacy of our dear friend and colleague, Danny Phillips.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: Dear Watchmen on the Wall family, we are so very grateful for our many faithful friends and faithful listeners.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: We wanted to let you know that a longtime member of our SWRC team recently went home to be with the Lord.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's Danny Phillips.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: He worked in Oklahoma City for SWRC well for decades, really.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_02: Most recently he answered phones and would chat with people, pray with people, help them with orders or information that they needed about SWRC.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: If you ever called that 1-800 number, 1-800-652-1144, many of you spoke with Danny directly.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: He was a key part of our ministry.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_02: He had suffered several health issues, and now we know that he is with the Lord.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: Joining me in the studio today to reflect on Danny's heart here at SWRC is someone who worked very closely with him for many years.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_02: Our host of Watchmen on the Wall, Dr.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: Larry Sparjamino, Pastor Larry, it's great to be with you, but under these circumstances, our our hearts are a little bit sad today as we're reflecting on Danny, but uh yet we still have that blessed hope, don't we?
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_04: Amen.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_04: And certainly we know that Brother Danny is with the Lord.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_04: In the last few years of his life, he had suffered greatly.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_04: One of the things that was really remarkable about Danny was that he was able to speak to people.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_04: I know he had a lot of elderly ladies who just adored him, and I think that was very good because Danny was thoroughly knowledgeable in matters of Bible prophecy, current events.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: He was able to put things together.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_04: People would often call him and ask what he thought about something, and he would give his his opinion, which was generally very good.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_04: I got to know him very well in the last couple of years, where we had moved out of the old building, a huge, huge building, and uh Danny and I were the two people there.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_04: I'm sure there was the church mouse around as well, but we had great, great fellowship.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_04: We ate together.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_04: He loved Cracker Barrel.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_04: I would take him uh Saturday morning, sometimes to Cracker Barrel.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_04: He was also a faithful member of the little church that I pastored, Trinity Chinese Baptist Church.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_04: He sang in the choir for a while, everyone loved him, and uh he told me it was a real mission experience for him because most of the people were not Anglos and not from the United States.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_04: And uh it was interesting the love he had for them and the love he had for our choir, for everyone who had come.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_04: He was very friendly.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_04: I remember even when we had guests, people we had never seen before, people he had never seen before, he was up there shaking their hand and and greeting them.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_04: So, yes, his body, like all of us, our bodies are getting older and older.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_04: But one day there'll be a union of body, soul, and spirit.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm just thinking of how great that day will be.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_04: And one of the things about Danny that I think was remarkable was he was a little bit messy in his office, but he knew exactly where everything was.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_04: And I said maybe I could help clean up a little bit.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, he said, Don't touch anything.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_04: I know we're exactly where everything is.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_04: Danny was also remarkable in um the way he could carry on the conversation.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_04: And I think some people would call, would Order a book or a video or whatever.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_04: And then after all of that was done, I could hear from my office, which was next to his, they were just jabbering about some some weighty uh theological, philosophical, uh prophetic issues.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_04: So, you know, if he was just interested in making a sale, well, thank you so much, goodbye.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_04: No, he kept the person on the phone and he continued to chat.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_04: I know uh Danny's family is certainly very saddened uh by the situation, but we need to pray for them as well.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_04: Danny had many friends in ministry and outside of ministry, and he had a real love for Israel.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_04: He really did.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_04: A couple of years ago, a friend, a listener, purchased a ticket to Israel and back.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_04: I think he stayed for two weeks.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh wow.
