Talk:Biblical Studies/New Testament Commentaries/Revelation/Chapter 16

Did the battle of Armageddon live up to your expectations? Personally, I felt as if was anti-climatic. The scene was set, the anticipation was build and it felt as if it was a scene from a cartoon where a man holds a pistol ready to fire, only to find out that his gun is a dud (yellow bang flag sticking out of the end).

Chapter 16
Chapter 16 describes the 7 plagues. Each plague is set into action one after another and each plague is very destructive. During the plagues, the people on earth begin to curse God for the destruction that he has caused rather than repenting.

This chapter brings up a point that we as readers should ponder. The point being that if God were to cause massive destruction today, how would people react? Would they repent or would they curse the Lord. When I first read this I questioned, why anyone would curse the Lord. The more I thought about it, I can see how some people may curse the Lord because of the destruction caused. What do you think?
