The Lord also said,“ The cries against Sodom and Gomorrah are very great. Their sin is so bad

This is how it will be on judgment day. The angels will come. They will separate the people who did what is wrong from those who did what is right.They will throw the evil people into the blazing furnace. There the evil ones will weep and grind their teeth.

The people of Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them also did evil things. They freely committed sexual sins. They committed sins of the worst possible kind. There is a fire that never goes out. Those people are an example of those who are punished with it.

But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil! Trouble is about to fall on them. They will be paid back for the evil things they’ve done.

The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.

I heard him speak to the six men. He said,“ Follow him through the city. Do not show any pity or concern.Kill the old men and women, the young men and women, and the children. But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Start at my temple.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.

Then the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrians. He put to death 185,000 soldiers there. The people of Jerusalem got up the next morning. They looked out and saw all the dead bodies.

Right away an angel of the Lord struck Herod down. Herod had not given praise to God. So he was eaten by worms and died.

Besides, do you think I’ve come without being sent by the Lord? Have I come to attack and destroy this land without receiving a message from him? The Lord himself told me to march out against your country. He told me to destroy it.” ’ ”

Why not say,“ Let’s do evil things so that good things will happen”? Some people actually lie by reporting that this is what we say. They are the ones who will rightly be found guilty.What should we say then? Do we Jews have any advantage? Not at all! We have already claimed that Jews and Gentiles are sinners. Everyone is under the power of sin.

The Son of Man will send out his angels. They will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin. They will also get rid of all who do evil.They will throw them into the blazing furnace. There people will weep and grind their teeth.

God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing it, the Lord saw it. The Lord decided to end the plague he had sent. So he spoke to the angel who was destroying the people. He said,“ That is enough! Do not kill any more people!” The angel of the Lord was standing at Araunah’s threshing floor. Araunah was from the city of Jebus.David looked up. He saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth. The angel was holding out a sword over Jerusalem. David and the elders fell with their faces to the ground. They were wearing the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple speaking to the seven angels.“ Go,” it said.“ Pour out the seven bowls of God’s great anger on the earth.”The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land. Ugly and painful sores broke out on people. Those people had the mark of the beast and worshiped its statue.The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. It turned into blood like the blood of a dead person. Every living thing in the sea died.The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water. They became blood.Then I heard the angel who was in charge of the waters. He said,“ Holy One, the way you judge is fair. You are the God who is and who was.Those who worship the beast have poured out blood. They have poured out the life’s blood of your holy people and your prophets. So you have given blood to drink to those who worship the beast. That’s exactly what they should get.”Then I heard the altar reply. It said,“ Lord God who rules over all, the way you judge is true and fair.”The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.They were burned by the blazing heat. So they spoke evil things against the name of God, who controlled these plagues. But they refused to turn away from their sins. They did not give glory to God.The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. The kingdom of the beast became very dark. People chewed on their tongues because they were suffering so much.They spoke evil things against the God of heaven. They did this because of their pains and their sores. But they refused to turn away from the sins they had committed.The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
