Retributive Justice
These seven bowls of wrath are
Poured out in the final vindication
Of God’s retributive justice with woes
Upon nature and woes upon man.
These bowls are for final retribution
The great voice out of the temple,
God’s voice of authority, summons
The visitation of divine wrath.
The first bowls of wrath affect nature:
A plague upon the land, upon the sea,
Upon the fresh water and the fourth
Upon the sun. These cover all of nature.
The heartless persecutors were
Compelled to drink the blood they
Had so ruthlessly shed. John saw
Them as blood-thirsty monsters.
The fifth bowl was poured out upon
The throne of the beast. His kingdom
Was darkened; Great pain was suffered.
They gnawed their tongues in great anguish.
The sixth bowl was emptied upon the
Euphrates River which dried the river,
And hordes of eastern enemies brought
Horror to pagans and Christians.
