In this episode, Irish Scripture Scholar, Frances Hogan continues and completes Chapter 16 of the Book of Revelation; here we see the final stage of the tribulation given to us by St. John. When we speak of the Book of Revelation, two things scare people - the mark of the beast and Armageddon - the location of the gathering of armies for the battle during the end times.
The seventh angel empties his bowl unleashing the seventh plague; the end is here. There is thunder and lightning, and an earthquake that destroys the cities of the world, and splits the great city into three parts. The islands and mountains are destroyed, and hailstones weighing a talent each fall upon the earth. The people curse God a third time.
The air was considered the abode of evil and, this time, the source of the evil is attacked in its territory. This is the end of the antichrist’s reign, it is the end of satan’s reign on the earth but it is the beginning of the new heavens and the new earth. This is the beginning of a new era of Divine holiness; it is the end of evil and the beginning of glory.
