Revelation 16:19 Hailstones
They curse God for the hail. Not for one moment do they blame themselves or consider that their own evil conduct has caused this punishment. They are consumed by their own self-justification. They have not one thought of repentance; they have given themselves over completely to their evil and ungodly ways and there is no way back for them. Their eternal destiny of hell awaits them.

Revelation 16:12 The unholy gathering
The Euphrates runs for 1800 miles from north-west to south-east and has always been the dividing line between west and east.

Revelation 16:1 Painful Sores
