122 THE QmW TRISUIAWN Egypt, but also the other enemies of Israel. He has shown the Egyptian Dragon chasing the Woman into the wilderness (Revelation 12); a revived Balak and Balaam seeking to destroy God’s people by war and by seduction to idolatry (Revelation 13); the sealed armies of the New Israel gathered on Mount Zion to celebrate the feasts (Revelation 14); and the saints standing in triumph at the “Red Sea,” singing the Song of Moses (Revelation 15). Now, in Chapter 16, seven judgments corresponding to the ten Egyptian Plagues are to be poured out on the Great City. There is also a marked correspondence between these Chalice-judgments and the Tkumpet-judgments of Chapters 8-n. 1 Because the Trumpets were essentially warnings, they took only a third of the Land; with the Chalices, the destruction is total. Chalices 1. On the Land, becoming sores (16:2). 2. On the sea, becoming blood (16:3). 3. On rivers and springs, becoming blood (16:4-7). 4. On the sun, causing it to scorch (16:8-9). 5. On the throne of the Beast, causing darkness (16:10-11). 1. The correspondence is not exact, however; and Russell characteristically goes too far when, after a supefickl comparison, he categorically declares: This cannot be mere casual coincidence: it k k%ntity, and it suggests the inquiry, For what reason is the vision thus repeated?” J.

On the air, causing storm, earthquake, and hail (16:17-21). Tmmpets 1. On the Land; ?4 earth, trees, grass burned (8:7). 2. On the sea; % sea becomes blood, % sea creatures die, % ships destroyed (8:8-9). 3. On the rivers and springs; % waters become wormwood (8:10-11). 4. ?4 of sun, moon, and stars darkened (8:12). 5. Demonic locusts tormenting men (9:1-12). 6. Army from Euphrates kills ?4 mankind (9:13-21). 7. Voices, storm, earthquake, hail (11:15-19). Plagues on E~pt 1. Boils (sixth plague: Exodus 9:8-12). 2.
