1. God's judgments are true and just (1-7)

Now the final plagues of God's wrath were poured out. The first angel brought the plague on the land and ugly festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The second angel killed every living thing in the sea. The third angel turned the rivers into blood. The angel said, "You are just in these judgments, O Holy One, for they have shed the blood of your holy people," while the altar responded, "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments!"

2. Stay awake and remain clothed (8-21)

The fourth wrath: the sun scorched people. The fifth was on the beast to plunge its kingdom into darkness. The sixth angel turned the rivers to be dried up. Yet, each time the people refused to repent; rather, they cursed God. Meanwhile the dragon, the beast and the false prophets gathered the whole kings and the world for the final battle in Armageddon. But the believers must stay awake and remain clothed like 5 wise virgins since the Lord will come like a thief! Then the seventh angel brought the greatest earthquake, hailstones weighing 100 pounds from the sky. Yet they cursed God, not repenting.
