Together they give the seven plagues that complete the wrath of God. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/wrath]]) - -Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.

Translations should not minimize the vivid language expressed in this chapter. - -#### Armageddon - -This is a Hebrew word. It is the name of a place.
