"It became blood as of a dead man"

Text: Revelation 16:3

THE SECOND BOWL OF WRATH

These Bowls of wrath remind us of the time when God punished Pharaoh and Egypt (Exodus 7-12). These Bowls of wrath are different because of its global impact.

“Then the second angel
poured out his bowl on the sea,
and it became blood as of a dead man;
and every living creature in the sea died.
Then the third angel poured out his bowl
on the rivers and springs of water,
and they became blood.”
Revelation 16:3-4
