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. The ULB does this with the poetry in verses 5-7. + +#### Special concepts in this chapter + +##### "I heard a loud voice call out of the temple" + +This is the same temple that was mentioned in chapter 15. + +##### Seven bowls of God's wrath + +This chapter reveals severe judgments. They are pictured as angels pouring out seven bowls of God's wrath.

Translations should not minimize the vivid language expressed in this chapter. + +##### Armageddon + +This is a Hebrew word. It is the name of a place. John used the sounds of the Hebrew word and wrote them with Greek letters. Translators are encouraged to transliterate it using the letters of the target language.
