Seventh Bowl: Greatest Earthquake
It is done!
From the teaching of Apostle Mary Banks
The seventh angel pours out his vial into the air, and a great voice comes from the temple of heaven, from the throne, declaring "It is done." This final judgment brings about the most catastrophic earthquake in human history, described as greater than any earthquake since men were upon the earth, so mighty and so great.
The earthquake causes unprecedented global destruction. The great city is divided into three parts, and all the cities of the nations fall. Every island flees away, and the mountains are no longer found, indicating a complete reshaping of the earth's geography. Great Babylon comes into remembrance before God, receiving the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
Accompanying this greatest earthquake are voices, thunders, and lightnings from heaven. A devastating hailstorm follows, with hailstones weighing about a talent each, approximately seventy-five to one hundred pounds. Despite these overwhelming judgments, men continue to blaspheme God because of the plague of hail, which is described as exceedingly great. This final bowl judgment represents the completion of God's wrath upon the earth.
The scriptures
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
