And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon (A)the sun, (B)and it was given power to scorch people with fire. And the people were scorched with [a]fierce heat; and they (C)blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they (D)did not repent so as to (E)give Him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the (F)throne of the beast, and his kingdom became (G)darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, 11 and they (H)blasphemed the (I)God of heaven because of their pain and their (J)sores; and they (K)did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the (L)great river, the Euphrates; and (M)its water was dried up, so that (N)the way would be prepared for the kings (O)from the [b]east.

Har-Magedon (Armageddon)

13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the (P)dragon, and out of the mouth of the (Q)beast, and out of the mouth of the (R)false prophet, three (S)unclean spirits like (T)frogs; 14 for they are (U)spirits of demons, (V)performing signs, which go out to the kings of the (W)entire [c]world, to (X)gather them together for the war of the (Y)great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (Z)I am coming like a thief. (AA)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, (AB)so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”) 16 And they (AC)gathered them together to the place which (AD)in Hebrew is called (AE)Har-Magedon.
