First Bowl: Malignant Sores
Painful judgment on beast worshipers
From the teaching of Apostle Mary Banks
The first angel pours out his vial upon the earth, resulting in a noisome and grievous sore breaking out on those who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These are painful, foul-smelling, and severe ulcers that afflict only those aligned with the beast.
This plague represents part of the seven vials of God's wrath, which are the full and undiluted expression of divine judgment signaling the end of God's longsuffering with a rebellious world. The affected individuals experience excruciating physical suffering through these malignant sores, yet this judgment is specifically targeted at those who have chosen to follow the beast rather than God.
The scriptures
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
