Åpenbaringen 16,19

17 Den syvende engelen tømte sin skål ut i luften, og en høy røst kom fra tempelet, fra tronen, og sa: «Det er skjedd!»

18 Det kom lyn, bulder, tordenbrak og et stort jordskjelv. Aldri har det vært et slikt jordskjelv siden menneskene ble skapt på jorden, så stort var det.

Den store byen ble delt i tre deler, og folkenes byer falt i grus. Babylon den store ble husket av Gud, som ga henne begeret fylt med hans voldsomme vredes vin.

20 Hver øy flyktet bort, og fjellene ble ikke funnet.

21 Store haglsteiner, hver på omtrent en talent, falt fra himmelen på menneskene. De spottet Gud på grunn av haglplagen, for den var svært voldsom.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
