Revelation 16:10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
This is the commentary I used.His kingdom became full of darkness: Some see this as a symbolic darkness. Caird called the last three plagues a “triad of political disaster” — internal anarchy, invasion, and irreparable collapse. (cited in Mounce)
And did not repent of their deeds: In man’s sinful condition, he increases his sin when under God’s judgment, the very time he should forsake his sin.
You know how it feels to stub your toe?You know how you yelp a curse when you stub your toe?
If you don't yelp, do you know how it feels to hop around on one foot while holding your toe in agony?
Do you know what it's like not to be able to afford to pay the electric bill and the guy shuts it off?
Will your church be capable of keeping the lights on if all the Christians are taken up and only the "wannabeseen" pew renters are left?
When the lights go out... Who will you blame?
When you stub your toe... Whose name will you curse?
There are no callous self-centered moronic rich men running the government, right?
The lights will never go out in your world, right?
Darkness... total toe stubbing darkness!
