The Sixth Bowl Of Wrath
(Revelation 16:12-16)
12 The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs; 14 for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!") 16 And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12-16)1
12 Και ο εκτος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι τον ποταμον τον μεγαν τον Ἐυφρατην και εξηρανθη το υδωρ αυτου ινα ετοιμασθη η οδος των βασιλεων των απο ανατολης ηλιου 13 Και ειδον εκ του στοματος του δρακοντος και εκ του στοματος του θηριου και εκ του στοματος του ψευδοπροφητου πνευματα τρια ακαθαρτα ως βατραχοι 14 εισιν γαρ πνευματα δαιμονιων ποιουντα σημεια α εκπορευεται επι τους βασιλεις της οικουμενης ολης συναγαγειν αυτους εις τον πολεμον της ημερας της μεγαλης του θεου του παντοκρατορος 15 Ιδου ερχομαι ως κλεπτης μακαριος ο γρηγορων και τηρων τα ιματια αυτου ινα μη γυμνος περιπατη και βλεπωσιν την ασχημοσυνην αυτου 16 και συνηγαγεν αυτους εις τον τοπον τον καλουμενον Ἐβραιστι Ἁρμαγεδων (Revelation 16:12-16 GNT2)
Aside from the demonic spirits deceiving the world, and the drying of the Euphrates no great physical disaster seems to take place during the Sixth Bowl. And yet it is one of the bowls of God’s wrath. Lies are not to be underestimated. Lying breaks the ninth commandment (Exodus 20:16). Those who love not God will find the demonic persuasion everything they believe in and hope for. They will oppose God and bring judgment upon themselves. It is imperative that believers be alert, aware and ready before this event. Those not prepared will be caught short and put to shame. (Click for a deeper look at the meaning of these verses.)
Note: Paul tells us that rejection of the truth leaves one open to falsehood (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11). The RSV translates verse 11 as Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false,
. The Greek for strong delusion
is ενεργειαν (energeia) πλανης (planay) actually energy/efficiency of error/falsehood.
It is not God deluding people, but rather God allowing people continue on the course they have chosen. It is God confirming their choice. When one rejects the truth, there is no other choice but falsehood. In mathematics there is usually only one answer. All others are wrong. In life, there is usually one truth. All others are chaos.

Numeric Features
The Words
The numeric features in this passage certify that the text is to be trusted. This is the vision God gave to Jesus, and Jesus gave to John to show what would happen (Revelation 1:1). The events are guaranteed to happen. Ignore them at your own peril.
1.1.1There are 111 words. 111 is a numeric representation of the one God who is, was and is to come (Revelation 1:8). The sum of its factors (3 x 37) is 40, and the number 40 is filled with biblical meaning: testing or trials, and or referring to a generation. This would seem appropriate for the Sixth Bowl.
1.1.2There are 571 letters. This is a prime number with no factors other than itself and one. Thus 571 + 1 = 572 (2 x 2 x 11 x 13). Hidden on this next level are the numbers 11 (one God first and last) and 13 (a factor from the value of God’s name in Hebrew). Although the number of words and letters are not divisible by seven and thirteen, evidence of God’s hand in the prophecy can still be seen.
1.1.3The numeric total of the passage: 37821 = 3 x 7 x 1801.
1.2Following the pattern of Revelation 1:8 as seen in The Proclamation, the first and last letters together have a numeric feature.
1.2.1The positions of the first and last letters of each word: 60354 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 479. SF: 494 = 2 x 13 x 19.
1.2.2The values of the first and last letters of each word: 14147 = 7 x 43 x 47.
1.2.3Although the positions of the first letter of each word has no feature, there is one just for the last letter of each word: 30407 = 13 x 2339. SF: 2352 = 24 x 3 x 72.
The first and last letters of each word do not have numeric features individually because this is a prophecy about the world and about people. It is not about God.
1.2.4The categorization of the first and last letters of each word can be refined by applying a second principle from Revelation 1:8, that of complementary opposites. Take the first and last letters of odd positioned words: 7798 = 2 x 7 x 557.
1.2.5Take the first and last letters of even positioned words: 6349 = 7 x 907. In this case the first and last letters can be further subdivided.
1.2.5.1The first letter of even positioned words: 3402 = 2 x 35 x 7.
1.2.5.2The last letter of even positioned words: 2947 = 7 x 421.
1.2.6.1Recategorize the words a different way. All words that have odd valued first and last letters: 2562 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 61.
1.2.6.2All words that have even valued first and last letters: 22281 = 3 x 7 x 1061. SF: 1071 = 32 x 7 x 17.
1.2.6.3This means the two together would also be divisible by seven: 2562 + 22281 = 24843 = 3 x 72 x 132 When put together there are extra factors of seven and thirteen.
1.2.6.4The positions of these words: 3724 = 22 x 72 x 19.
1.2.7The previous features categorized words by first and last letters that were both odd valued, or both even valued. The remaining words would be those of "mixed" values (odd and even, or even and odd): 12978 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 103.
1.2.7.1The positions of these words: 2492 = 22 x 7 x 89.
1.2.7.2This subdivides into words with an odd valued first letter and an even valued last letter: 9919 = 7 x 13 x 109.
1.2.7.3And it subdivides into words with an even valued first letter and an odd valued last letter: 3059 = 7 x 19 x 23. SF: 49 = 72 SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
1.2.8.1Words where the first letter is odd: 12481 = 7 x 1783.
1.2.8.2Words where the first is even: 25340 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 181.
1.2.8.3Words where last letter is odd: 5621 = 7 x 11 x 73. SF: 91 = 7 x 13.
1.2.8.4Words where last letter is even: 32200 = 23 x 52 x 7 x 23.
1.3Odd positioned words: 19448 = 23 x 11 x 13 x 17.
1.4The words can be set in groups of three with odd and even valued groups put together.
1.4.1Odd valued groups of 3: 19047 = 3 x 7 x 907. SF: 917 = 7 x 131.
1.4.2Even valued groups of 3: 18774 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 149.
1.5Take every Nth word, and find those having a total divisible by seven:
N: 31 41 44 46 48 50
Total of N: 260 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 13.
1.6.0Odd and even valued words have no feature until their positions are examined.
1.6.1Forty-nine words are odd valued. The sum of their positions: 2779 = 7 x 397.
1.6.2Sixty-two words are even valued. The sum of their positions: 3437 = 7 x 491.
1.7.0Aside from the number 1, a number is either a prime number or not a prime number. This forms another complementary opposite.
1.7.1Thirteen words have totals that are prime numbers. The sum of these prime numbers: 3829 = 7 x 547.
1.7.2The remaining 98 (2 x 7 x 7) words are not prime numbers. Their total: 33992 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 607. The positions of these numbers is 5414 = 2 x 2707. It is not divisible by 7 or 13, but the sum of the factors goes further: 2709 = 3 x 3 x 7 x 43. SF: 56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7. SF: 13.
The Letters
2.1.1Odd valued letters in odd positions and even valued letters in even positions: 481 + 17684 = 18165 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 173.
2.1.2Odd valued letters in even positions and even valued letters in odd positions: 19258 + 398 = 19656 = 23 x 33 x 7 x 13. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.
2.2The letter values of God’s name in Hebrew can be used 22 times to count through the 571 letters.

Sum of positions (lines a + c): 22308 = 22 x 3 x 11 x 132.
2.3.2Exactly 28 pairs (Nth and Nth last) can be found that together are divisible by 13. (28 = 22 x 7.)
a) Nth letter: 3 4 7 9 32 37 83 107 110 139 140 145 146 b) Value: 9 60 100 90 70 70 60 90 5 40 5 90 100 c) Nth last: 569 568 565 563 540 535 489 465 462 433 432 427 426 d) Value: 4 5 30 1 60 60 70 40 60 90 60 1 30 e) Sum: 13 65 130 91 130 130 130 130 65 130 65 91 130 a) 151 156 163 168 176 179 194 210 214 224 238 246 277 278 280 b) 60 4 60 5 30 60 10 5 70 5 1 100 70 60 60 c) 421 416 409 404 396 393 378 362 358 348 334 326 295 294 292 d) 5 9 200 60 100 70 3 60 60 60 90 30 60 70 5 e) 65 13 260 65 130 130 13 65 130 65 91 130 130 130 65
Sum of the positions (a + c): 16016 = 24 x 7 x 11 x 13. SF: 39 = 3 x 13.
In this case there are two additional features.
Total of line a: 4116 = 22 x 3 x 73 SF: 28 = 22 x 7.
Total of line c: 11900 = 22 x 52 x 7 x 17.
2.4Beginning with the first letter, and taking every Nth letter after, the following values of N produce totals divisible by 7 and 13.
89 201 214
Total of N: 504 = 23 x 32 x 7.
2.5There are 189 (33 x 7) odd valued letters.
2.6The middle N letters are divisible by 7 when N is one of the following:
567 505 467 463 453 427 421 413 389 379 377 369 365 343 341 305 273 265 243 241 209 205 199 195 179 161 151 125 119 107 101 89 71 61 59 45 33 29 5 1
Total of N: 9750 = 2 x 3 x 53 x 13.
Isaiah 18 & Revelation 16:12-16
As mentioned in the study on Isaiah 18, the nation bringing gifts to God is China. The Sixth Bowl in Revelation mentions preparing the way for the kings from the rising of the sun. Are these two prophecies related? The numbers would seem to imply they do.
| Feature | Isaiah 18 | Revelation 16:12-16 |
|---|---|---|
| Total: | 27426 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 653. SF: 665 = 5 x 7 x 19. | 37821 = 3 x 7 x 1801. |
| First & last letter of each word; | 14217 = 3 x 7 x 677. | 14147 = 7 x 43 x 47. |
| Words with odd valued first & last letters plus even valued first & last letters: | 18942 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 41. | 24843 = 3 x 72 x 132 |
| Words with mixed valued first & last letters: | 8484 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 101. | 12978 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 103. |
| First & last letters of even positioned words: | 7943 = 132 x 47. | 6349 = 7 x 907. |
| Odd positioned words: | 14973 = 3 x 7 x 23 x 31. | 19448 = 23 x 11 x 13 x 17. |
3.1There are many differences in numeric features between these two Bible passages, but there are at least six features the two passages share. Of special note is the second numeric feature, the totals of the first and last letters of each word. The totals are very similar. There is only a difference of 70 between the two (70 = 2 x 5 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7).
| Isaiah 18 | Revelation 16:12-16 | |
|---|---|---|
| Position of first verse in Bible: | 17999 | 30968 |
| Position of last verse in Bible: | 18005 | 30972 |
3.2The first verse position from Isaiah, and the last verse position from Revelation: 17999 + 30972 = 48971. (13 x 3767. SF: 3780 = 22 x 33 x 5 x 7.)
3.2.2The first and last verse positions from each passage: 17999 + 30968 + 18005 + 30972 = 97944 (23 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 53).
Positions of the seven verses of Isaiah 18 17999 18000 18001 18002 18003 18004 18005 Positions of the five verses of Revelation 16:12-16 30968 30969 30970 30971 30972
3.3Coincidentally, the last verse from Isaiah is an odd number, while the first verse from Revelation is an even number. Thus the two lists could be put together as if they were continuing consecutive numbers. The even valued positions of this list: 146916 = 22 x 32 x 7 x 11 x 53. (N.B. These are also the even positioned verses.) The only position divisible by thirteen is conveniently in the seventh position.
Totals for each verse: Isaiah Revelation 18:1 18:2 18:3 18:4 18:5 18:6 18:7 16:12 16:13 16:14 16:15 16:16 2186 4291 4822 2003 5188 3285 5651 9194 8613 8490 8104 3420
3.4.1The first half of the list: 21775 = 52 x 13 x 67.
3.4.2The last half of the list: 43472 = 24 x 11 x 13 x 19.
3.4.3Arrange the verse totals from least to greatest.
2003 2186 3285 3420 4291 4822 5188 5651 8104 8490 8613 9194
3.4.3.1The first half of the list: 20007 = 34 x 13 x 19.
3.4.3.2The last half of the list: 45240 = 23 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 29. S: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.
3.4.3.3Total of the two passages together: 65247 = 3 x 7 x 13 x 239. The sum of the factors is 262 (2 x 131) which is not divisible by seven or thirteen, but if these factors are added, the result is 133 (7 x 19). And once again these factors add to 26 (2 x 13). It would have been nicer if the chain of factors was not broken, but this is because these two passages are prophecies about the world, not about God.
3.5Isaiah 18 has 124 words, 457 letters and a total of 27426. Revelation 16:12-16 has 111 words, 571 letters and a total of 37821.
3.5.1The number of words together have a feature in the next level: 124 + 111 = 235 (5 x 47. SF: 52 = 22 x 13.)
3.5.2The number of letters together have a feature one level removed: 457 + 571 = 1028 (2 x 2 x 257. SF:261 = 32 x 29. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.)
3.6.1First and last words of each passage produce a perfect square: 21 20 156 764 = 961 = 31 x 31.
3.6.2First and last letters of each passage: 105 = 3 x 5 x 7.
3.7Combine the data from the two passages.
3.7.1Positions of the first letter of each word: 108612 = 22 x 32 x 7 x 431. SF: 448 = 26 x 7.
3.7.2First letter of each word: 12236 = 22 x 7 x 19 x 23.
3.7.3Last letter of each word: 16128 = 28 x 32 x 7.
When Isaiah 18 and Revelation 16:12-16 were considered individually, the first and last letters of each word had no feature on their own. They had to be considered together to be divisible by seven. However, when the two passages are put together, the first and last letters of each word can actually stand alone and have a numeric feature. Thus placing the two passages together creates an additional feature.
3.7.4Positions (first & last): 218017 = 23 x 9479. (23 shows this is about people.)
3.7.5Values (first & last): 28364 = 22 x 7 x 1013.
3.7.6The last letters of odd valued word sums: 7868 = 22 x 7 x 281.
3.7.7The last letters of even valued word sums: 8260 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 59.
(There is no feature with the first letter of odd/even valued words because this is about people, not God.)
3.7.8Having looked at the first and last letters, we turn to the words. Words can be categorized by their first and last letters. Words with first and last letters that are both odd valued or both even valued: 43785 = 32 x 5 x 7 x 139.
3.7.9Words with first and last letters that are mixed values: 21462 = 2 x 3 x 72 x 73.
3.8.1Even valued & even positioned words: 16324 = 22 x 7 x 11 x 53.
3.8.2Odd valued & odd positioned letterss: 598 = 2 x 13 x 23.
3.8.3Even valued & odd positioned letters: 31836 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 379.
3.8.4.1Words with an odd number of letters:

Total: 30953 = 13 x 2381. SF: 2394 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 19. (The number of letters in these words have no feature, but their positions total 12805 [ 5 x 13 x 197]).

4Most of the features for the combined passages of Isaiah 18 and Revelation 16:12-16 were found by placing the data for Isaiah first, and then followed by the data from Revelation. It is possible to place Revelation first since the end event of Isaiah must be after Armageddon. When this is done, there are new features.
4.1The 235 words can be put into groups of 47.

Word total: 128921 = 13 x 47 x 211. (The odd valued words found total 53879 [7 x 43 x 179].)
It would have been perfect if the words and letters in Isaiah 18 could be applied into Revelation 16:12-16. Perhaps this is because the phrase, the kings of the east
is more of a known quantity than the descriptions in Isaiah 18. It is more logical to apply what is known to deduce what might not be known.
China
6.1The previous study on Isaiah 18 concluded that China was the nation that brought gifts to God. Can this be seen here? The modern Hebrew word for China is סין (Syna). These Hebrew letters have the values 60, 10 and 50 for a total of 120. (Note: Hebrew is read from right to left, but the numbers are presented left to right.) These three Hebrew letters can be used twice to count through the words of the combined passages of Isaiah 18, and Revelation 16:12-16. On the second the count, the very last letter 50 will overshoot the number of words. It wraps around to the beginning of the combined passages. (If we only allow complete sets of the Hebrew letters for China, and no overshooting the number of words in the text, the count would have ended at the 120th word, less than half the combined passage. This would cover too little of the text.)
Hebrew values for "China": 60 10 50 60 10 50 Count: 60 70 120 180 190 240 Adjust to 235 words: 60 70 120 180 190 5 Word found: 110 288 340 447 511 501
Total of the words found: 2197 = 13 x 13 x 13. SF: 39 = 3 x 13. The result is a perfect cube of thirteen.
6.2.1The Hebrew letter values for China can also count through the letters of the combined passage. In this case, they can be used nine times. On the ninth time, the last two Hebrew values will overshoot the number of letters and the count wraps around to the beginning.
a) 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 b) 60 70 120 180 190 240 300 310 360 420 430 480 540 550 c) 60 70 120 180 190 240 300 310 360 420 430 480 540 550 d) 20 10 2 20 30 10 2 5 1 300 40 20 60 1 a) 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 b) 600 660 670 720 780 790 840 900 910 960 1020 1030 52 c) 600 660 670 720 780 790 840 900 910 960 1020 2 52 d) 60 100 60 200 10 7 100 10 9 90 1 6 30 a) Hebrew letter value for China. b) Count. c) Adjusted for 1028 letters. d) Letter found.
Letter total: 1204 = 22 x 7 x 43.
6.2.2The Hebrew letters (60-10-50) for China can also be used specifically for the Sixth Bowl. Search for these letters in the Greek text. The fourth letter of Revelation 16:12-16 has the value 60. After the fourth letter, the sixth letter has the value 10. And after the sixth letter, the eleventh letter has the value 50. Thus the positions of the first appearance
of letters having the values of China in Hebrew total 21 (3 x 7).
6.2.3The previous feature only examined Revelation 16:12-16 and looked at the positions of letters with values spelling out China in Hebrew. Here we look at those letters and not their positions. When Isaiah 18 and Revelation 16:12-16 are combined, it is possible to find seven sets of letters with values spelling out China. There is an incomplete eighth set consisting only of the letters 60 and 10. Seven complete sets would naturally be divisible by seven. This is nothing special. However, if the incomplete set is included, the total would be 910 (2 x 5 x 7 x 13) with an extra factor of thirteen.
6.3In the previous two features (6.2.1 & 6.2.2), the text of Isaiah was placed before the text of Revelation, because the book of Isaiah was written first. However, the people bringing gifts to God in Isaiah 18 would have to be after Armageddon. Thus it is possible to place the text of Revelation 16:12-16 before the text of Isaiah 18. Since we now have Greek before Hebrew, we use the Greek spelling of China. China, in Greek is Κινα. The numeric values of the Greek letters are 10-9-40-1, with a total of 60. (It is curious how the Greek is exactly half the value of the Hebrew.)
6.3.1These four Greek letters are used three times to count through the words of the combined passage. (If the letters were used four times to count through the words, two of the letters, or half of the spelling of China in Greek would exceed the number of words.)
Greek letter: 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 Count: 10 19 59 60 70 79 119 120 130 139 179 180 Word found: 361 561 142 1 104 360 326 343 180 12 400 460
Total: 3250 = 2 x 53 x 13.
6.3.2These four Greek letters can also be used 17 times to count through the 1028 letters of the combined passage. On the 17th time, the very last Greek letter would have reached a count of 1020, just short of the full text. Any further count would exceed the entire passage.
a) 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 b) 10 19 59 60 70 79 119 120 130 139 179 180 190 199 c) 5 40 1 100 1 80 1 40 60 40 60 90 10 100 a) 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 b) 239 240 250 259 299 300 310 319 359 360 370 379 419 c) 80 100 60 80 5 100 2 7 20 5 80 1 10 a) 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 b) 420 430 439 479 480 490 499 539 540 550 559 599 600 c) 20 80 60 70 1 600 400 70 60 30 9 20 6 a) 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 b) 610 619 659 660 670 679 719 720 730 739 779 780 790 c) 10 3 70 40 6 6 200 90 40 70 10 20 200 a) 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 40 1 10 9 b) 799 839 840 850 859 899 900 910 919 959 960 970 979 c) 100 30 7 400 6 30 10 5 10 6 40 6 10 a) 40 1 (Greek letter value for China.) b) 1019 1020 (Count.) c) 2 1 (Letter found in combined passage.)
Total: 4032 = 26 x 32 x 7.
6.3.3Similar to 6.2.3, fifteen sets of the four Greek letters can be found in the passage when Revelation 16:12-16 is placed before Isaiah 18. The sixteenth incomplete set has only one letter, 10. The total of all these letters is once again 910 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 13.
The skeptic would point out that for the Hebrew spelling of China, we allowed the count to overshoot, but changed the rules for the Greek to undershoot the length of the text. But Greek is not Hebrew, and the languages are written in opposite directions. The order of the combined text was changed as well. This difference is why counting with the Greek is not allowed to overshoot. These changes are necessary when the language changes, as can be seen in the next feature.
6.4In Chinese, China is 中國. The numeric values of these two characters are 101 and 3243. The second number is so large it will overshoot the number of words and letters of the combined passage even if only one set of the characters is used. If 中國 is to be used to count, the question is how many sets should be used. The most obvious answer would be seven or thirteen sets.
6.4.1中國, 101 and 3243 are run 7 times on the words. (This is for the combined passage with Revelation placed before Isaiah.)
a) 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 b) 101 3344 155 3398 209 3452 263 3271 317 3325 136 3379 c) 101 54 155 108 209 162 28 216 82 35 136 89 d) 561 153 110 200 48 25 319 156 585 360 110 827 a) 101 3243 (Value from 中國.) b) 190 3433 (Count.) c) 190 143 (Count adjusted for 235 words.) d) 780 106 (Word found.)
Total: 4340 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 31.
6.4.2Thirteen sets of 中國 are used to count through the passage's letters. (This applies to the combined passage with Revelation before Isaiah.)
a) 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 b) 101 3344 361 3604 621 3864 881 4124 113 3356 373 3616 c) 101 260 361 520 621 780 881 12 113 272 373 532 d) 90 70 30 3 1 20 5 5 100 60 100 9 a) 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 101 3243 b) 633 3876 893 4136 125 3368 385 3628 645 3888 905 4148 c) 633 792 893 24 125 284 385 544 645 804 905 36 d) 40 70 200 7 7 1 200 40 3 10 9 40 a) 101 3243 (Value from 中國.) b) 137 3380 (Count.). c) 137 296 (Count adjusted to 1028 words.) d) 4 80 (Letter found.)
Total: 1204 = 22 x 7 x 43. (***This is the exact same result as feature 5.2!***)
In hindsight, since 7 is less than 13, and the number of words is less than the number of letters, 7 sets of 中國 are applied to the words, and 13 sets are applied to the letters. This changes for the Chinese characters for God which are already divisible by 13.
6.4.3The Chinese term for the one supreme God is 上帝 (Cantonese: Seung Dai.) These two characters have the values 24 and 1939. Like the Hebrew name for God, their total is divisible by 13. The two numbers can be used seven times to count through the words of the combined passage (Isaiah 18 is placed before Revelation 16:12-16).
a) 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 b) 24 1963 107 2046 190 2129 38 1977 121 2060 204 2143 52 1991 c) 24 83 107 166 190 14 38 97 121 180 204 28 52 111 d) 31 28 90 364 511 100 50 21 26 447 752 12 241 106 a) Chinese character value. b) Count. c) Count adjusted for 235 words. d) Word found.
Total: 2779 = 7 x 397. The sum of the factors is 404. While 404 is not divisible by 7 or 13, its factors (2 x 2 x 101) still point to the one God who is Alpha and Omega. And the sum of these secondary factors is 105 (3 x 5 x 7).
6.4.4These two character values can also be used seven times to count through the letters.
a) 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 b) 24 1963 959 2898 866 2805 773 2712 680 2619 587 2526 494 2433 c) 24 935 959 842 866 749 773 656 680 563 587 470 494 377 d) 50 9 60 200 200 5 9 100 40 1 60 400 70 70 a) Chinese character value. b) Count. c) Count adjusted for 235 words. d) Word found.
Total: 1274 = 2 x 72 x 13.
6.4.5When Revelation 16:12-16 is placed before Isaiah 18, the values of 上帝 can be used 13 times to count through the words. (In this case, this does not work with the letters.)
a) 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 b) 24 1963 107 2046 190 2129 38 1977 121 2060 204 2143 c) 24 83 107 166 190 14 38 97 121 180 204 28 d) 740 690 330 415 780 733 15 20 52 460 296 319 a) 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 24 1939 b) 52 1991 135 2074 218 2157 66 2005 149 2088 232 2171 c) 52 111 135 194 218 42 66 125 149 208 232 56 d) 690 764 31 28 90 364 511 100 50 21 26 447 a) 24 1939 (Word value from 上帝.) b) 80 2019 (Count.) c) 80 139 (Count adjusted to 235 words.) d) 752 12 (Word found in combined passage.)
Total: 8736 = 25 x 3 x 7 x 13.
6.5.1In Russian, China (Китай) can only be applied once. For there to be a feature, Isaiah 18 is placed before Revelation 16:12-16. The Russian letters overshoot the number of words in the passage just with one set.
Russian letter: К и т а й Russian value: 30 10 200 1 20 Count: 30 40 240 6 26 Adjusted for 235 words: 30 40 5 6 26 Word found: 19 432 501 312 257
Total: 1521 = 32 x 132.
6.5.2The Russian can be applied three times to the passage's letters without overshooting the number of letters.
a) 30 10 200 1 20 30 10 200 1 20 30 10 200 b) 30 40 240 241 261 291 301 501 502 522 552 562 762 c) 300 200 10 200 5 60 6 100 60 9 8 2 9 a) 1 20 (Russian letter value.) b) 763 783 (Count.) c) 100 30 (Letter found.)
Total: 1099 = 7 x 157.
6.5.3Unlike the Hebrew and Greek in features 6.2.3 and 6.3.3, the eleven sets of Russian letter values found in the text (Revelation placed before Isaiah) have no feature. The feature is in their positions: 33656 = 23 x 7 x 601.
The features identifying China as a major subject of the prophecies are not as consistent as one would have hoped.4 But this is because the prophecy is about people and nations, not about God. People can hardly be expected to match the perfection of God. Even so, these features show it is highly likely the kings of the east
refers to the unnamed land (China) in Isaiah 18 and that China will honour God with gifts. Revelation 16:12-16 is only preparatory to the kings of the east
but no details are given. Whatever they intended or were planning, they are either upstaged or deceived by the Beast. After Armageddon, these kings realize they must honour God.
Conclusion
The two passages work so well together it would seem Isaiah 18 and Revelation 16:12-16 were made for each other. Each passage could stand on its own, or stand together. When they stand together, they produce new numeric features. Standing by itself, the numbers in the passage on the Sixth Bowl confirm God’s wrath is real. It is to be avoided at all costs. The wrath of the Beast and Satan is only temporary, and ultimately ineffective. The lies they preach must not be accepted. Hold to God’s Word to avoid God’s wrath (Revelation 3:10, 19:13). That is what is real.
The Seven Bowls Of Wrath
The Sixth Bowl passage sits within the larger section of Revelation describing all Seven Bowls. This is from Revelation 15:5 to 16:21. There are a total of 25 verses, 563 words, and 2671 letters.5 The number of numeric features is actually less than those contained in the Sixth Bowl. This is because the wrath of God is only a part of the entire picture, and only a limited portion of God’s character. If there had been a tremendous number of numeric features one might begin to think God was a wrathful being, and this would completely contradict vast sections of the Bible.6
(For the conversion of Revelation 15:5-16:21 into numbers see the text file seven-bowls.txt.)
The Verses
7.1.1The numeric total of the Seven Bowls: 180530 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 2579. The factor of seven shows the completeness of God’s wrath.
7.1.2The place value total: 5 x 132 x 37. The two factors of thirteen are like a signature from God’s name in Hebrew.
Totals of the 25 verses 4360 6666 12371 8403 6872 10609 6717 5625 5302 4292 4570 6090 8130 9063 9906 9194 8613 8490 8104 3420 5615 7643 9306 2285 8884
7.1.3.1Ten odd valued verses: 76944 = 24 x 3 x 7 x 229. SF: 247 = 13 x 19. (Position of these verses: 126 = 2 x 32 x 7.)
7.1.3.2Fifteen even valued verses: 103586 = 2 x 73 x 151.
7.1.4.1First and last verse: 13244 = 22 x 7 x 11 x 43. SF: 65 = 5 x 13.
7.1.4.2Two other verses can be paired as Nth and Nth last. These are the 11th and 15th verses. (The 15th verse from the beginning is the 11th verse from the end.) Together, the two verses total 14476 (22 x 7 x 11 x 47).
7.1.4.3The two pairs together (features 7.1.4.1 and 7.1.4.2) total 27720 (23 x 32 x 5 x 7 x 11. SF: 35 = 5 x 7). This produces an step in the sum of the factors.
(Since there are 25 verses, this means the positions of the first and last verses, and the positions of the 11th and 15th verses would always produce a total divisible by 13.)
7.1.4.4Not only can we look at the first and last verse, but also the first and last word of each verse.
The first word of each verse: 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 169 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 153 273 20 20 20 20 20 20 Total: 1035 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 23. The last word of each verse: 981 861 1290 672 50 561 217 41 235 153 350 359 155 430 941 296 653 752 561 764 156 129 561 436 535 Total: 12139 = 61 x 199.
Individually there is no numeric feature, but when they are put together, there is. 1035 + 12139 = 13174 (2 x 7 x 941).
7.1.5The values of the letters of God’s name in Hebrew can be used 13 times to count through the verses.
a) 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 b) 10 15 21 26 11 16 22 27 12 17 23 28 13 c) 10 15 21 1 11 16 22 2 12 17 23 3 13 d) 4292 9906 5615 4360 4570 9194 7643 6666 6090 8613 9306 12371 8130 a) 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 b) 18 24 29 14 19 25 30 15 20 26 6 16 21 c) 18 24 4 14 19 25 5 15 20 1 6 16 21 d) 8490 2285 8403 9063 8104 8884 6872 9906 3420 4360 10609 9194 5615 a) 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 b) 27 7 17 22 28 8 18 23 29 9 19 24 30 c) 2 7 17 22 3 8 18 23 4 9 19 24 5 d) 6666 6717 8613 7643 12371 5625 8490 9306 8403 5302 8104 2285 6872 a) 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 b) 10 20 25 31 11 21 26 7 12 22 27 8 13 c) 10 20 25 6 11 21 1 7 12 22 2 8 13 d) 4292 3420 8884 10609 4570 5615 4360 6717 6090 7643 6666 5625 8130 a) Value of Hebrew letter from God's name. b) Count. c) Count adjusted to 25 verses. d) Verse total found.
Total: 370979 = 72 x 67 x 113.
7.1.6Only the 22nd verse in the list is a prime number. The remaining 24 verses that are not prime numbers total 172887 = 3 x 11 x 132 x 31. (The prime number total of the 22nd verse (Revelation 16:18) uniquely parallels an earthquake never before experienced in human history.)
The Words
7.2.1First and last letters of each word: 68691 = 3 x 7 x 3271. (Both first and last letters have to stand together before there is a feature. The passage is about God’s wrath, not about God’s full character.)
7.2.2The last letter of each word could be considered the first letter from the end of the word. An examination of the first, second, third (and so on) letter of each word, from the beginning and end, finds only two that are divisible by seven.
7.2.2.1The fourth letter of each word: 25088 = 29 x 72
7.2.2.2The ninth letter from the end of each word: 1134 = 2 x 34 x 7. SF: 21 = 3 x 7.
Why are the fourth and ninth letters the only ones that are divisible by seven? Perhaps it is because 4 + 9 = 13.
7.3.1Odd valued words: 84422 = 2 x 13 x 17 x 191. (Since the entire passage is divisible by seven, this means there is no corresponding feature with the even valued words.)
7.3.2Total of the positions of odd valued words: 68117 = 7 x 37 x 263.
7.3.3Total of the positions of even valued words: 90649 = 13 x 19 x 367. SF: 399 = 3 x 7 x 19.
Note how the positions of the odd valued words work out to a total divisible by seven, but the positions of the even valued words work out to thirteen. I believe the lack of paired features, or inconsistency in this case shows that the wrath of God is only a part of God’s character, and should not overshadow the many verses where the Bible tells us God is love, justice and righteousness.
7.4.1Eighty-four words are prime numbers. (84 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7).
a) 8 9 20 22 24 33 35 48 50 52 65 67 70 71 76 82 87 b) 191 197 101 191 191 1009 101 191 421 479 157 191 197 211 197 191 967 a) 104 108 110 119 148 160 163 171 173 177 186 192 206 213 214 219 233 b) 191 191 421 151 107 251 41 101 107 439 191 41 47 41 653 41 163 a) 238 240 259 267 269 277 278 300 301 303 306 308 313 315 317 321 326 b) 43 293 359 593 191 191 191 7 137 947 191 941 593 113 641 941 941 a) 333 345 347 355 360 386 398 406 408 418 422 423 427 436 447 457 462 b) 941 79 733 7 131 653 197 197 197 281 827 101 37 389 251 947 131 a) 465 468 486 494 496 506 509 523 542 547 551 553 554 555 560 561 b) 379 313 197 7 7 211 7 197 641 593 113 197 197 197 7 107 a) Position in passage. b) Prime number word.
Total of these primes: 25142 = 2 x 13 x 967.
7.4.2In feature 7.1.6 only the 22nd verse had a total that was a prime number. It was also divisible by thirteen. This invites adding the 84 words that are prime numbers to the verse: 25142 + 172887 = 198029 = 13 x 15233. Since both were divisible by 13, the sum is no surprise. The sum of the factors goes another level: 15246 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 112.
7.5The odd (or even) positioned words had no feature, but there are other ways of going through the passage rather than just taking every other word. One could take every tenth word, or every Nth word. The following are cases where taking every Nth word after the first word produces a total divisible by thirteen.
Nth word after the first: 10 59 60 84 90 92 138 142 163 166 173 198 206 222 225 261 272
Total of N values: 2561 = 13 x 197. SF: 210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7.
7.6.0The middle N words are divisible by 13 when N is one of the following:
557 483 451 393 375 351 313 289 285 273 253 177 151 141 99 69 65
Total of N: 4725 = 33 x 52 x 7.
7.7The values of the Hebrew letters of God’s name can be used 22 times to count through the words of the Seven Bowls. (On the 22nd time, this will overshoot the number of words in the passage. The count wraps around to the beginning for a complete set of the letters in God’s name.)

Word total: 28994 = 2 x 7 x 19 x 109.
7.8The thirty-three words of The Proclamation can count through the Seven Bowls passage.
a) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 b) 317 26 26 31 254 120 221 131 208 72 447 340 72 191 351 c) 317 343 369 400 654 774 995 1126 1334 1406 1853 2193 2265 2456 2807 d) 317 343 369 400 91 211 432 0 208 280 164 504 13 204 555 e) 641 361 445 177 740 235 147 535 309 20 690 740 45 20 197 a) 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 b) 126 456 29 161 31 165 184 126 409 100 102 106 62 c) 2933 3389 3418 3579 3610 3775 3959 4085 4494 4594 4696 4802 4864 d) 118 11 40 201 232 397 18 144 553 90 192 298 360 e) 20 360 45 14 60 226 69 364 197 110 41 20 131 a) 29 30 31 32 33 (Word position in The Proclamation.) b) 102 100 680 106 322 (Word value in The Proclamation.) c) 4966 5066 5746 5852 6174 (Count.) d) 462 562 116 222 544 (Count adjusted to 563 words.) e) 131 398 147 133 450 (Word found in the Seven Bowls.)
Total: 8218 = 2 x 7 x 587.
7.9.Words can be categorized by as being "odd or even" in terms of position, value, the number of letters, the first letter, and the last letter. This produces 32 categories for the words. Two categories stand out.
7.9.1Words that are in even position, even value, with an even number of letters, an odd valued first letter and an even valued last letter form a small group. There are only two words that fit this specific category.
Position: 170 220 Value: 170 460
Position total: 390 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 13.
Word total: 630 = 2 x 32 x 5 x 7.
The total of the positions of these words is divisible by thirteen. Conversely, the total of these words is divisible by seven.
7.9.2Words that are in odd positions, odd valued, with an odd number of letters, an even valued first letter and an odd valued last letter are a slightly larger group.
Position: 33 209 269 465 531 557 561 Value: 1009 169 191 379 147 169 107
Position total: 2625 = 3 x 53 x 7.
Word total: 2171 = 13 x 167.
The total of the positions of these words is divisible by seven. The total of the words is divisible by thirteen.
These two categories are like opposites. Where one is of words in even positions, the other is of words in odd positions. Where one is even valued, the other is odd valued.

The numeric features found in the Seven Bowls of Wrath prove this is a part of God’s plan for the future. There is no escaping judgment and justice because Jesus said not one dot from the law would pass away until all was fulfilled (Matthew 5:18). We might not like it, but we also don't like sin and wickedness either. God will make all things new, and the Seven Bowls of Wrath are a part of the process (Revelation 21:5).

Notes
- English reference quotes are from the Revised Standard Version, Thomas Nelson Inc., 1972).
- The verse positions, and Hebrew or Greek text are from Bibleworks 3.0 by Hermeneutika, Michael S. Bushell, 1995, translated into HTML entities. Vowel marks and punctuation from the Hebrew have been removed. Greek accent marks and punctuation have also been removed.
- Translation adapted from The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, by Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania, 1969.
This is not an endorsement of the Jehovah's Witnesses. This book was one of the few available at a time when interlinear translations were rare, expensive, and at a time when funds were scarce. - Hebrew, Greek, Chinese and Russian just so happened to be the first four languages tried in attempting to show China was the subject of Isaiah 18 and Revelation 16:12-16. They all succeeded. The next two languages attempted were English and Farsi. Neither of them worked. Conceivably there are other languages that would work. It is curious that the first four languages have their own coincidence in English.

- The number of words and letters, 563 and 2671, are both prime numbers. They have two curious coincidences. The two added together total 3234 (2 x 3 x 72 x 11). There are two factors of seven. And since the Sixth Bowl mentions the kings from the direction of the rising sun, one could consider these prime numbers as indicating Chinese characters in Big5. The 563rd Big5 character is 局 (office; situation). The 2671th character is 渙 (to dissipate; to dissolve). Thus 局渙 would seem to mean
the office is dissolved
orthe situation is dissipated.
In other words, the Seven Bowls of God’s wrath bring an end to the old world order. - Properly speaking Revelation chapters 15 and 16 are devoted to the Seven Bowls. However, if the first four verses of chapter 15 were included, there would be no numeric features. These four verses are actually an introduction to the topic and can be left out.
Note 1: Only verses describing the Third, Sixth and Seventh Bowls are divisible by seven. The rest of the bowls have no numeric features on their own.
Note 2: The Greek text is from the GNT, with textual variants dropped in Revelation 15:6, and 16:6.
Note 3: The high number of numeric features in the Sixth Bowl sets it apart from all the others. It is the only one where Jesus issues a warning to be alert and ready. Catastrophes do not endanger the believer. Satan's lies are what endanger the believer (Matthew 24:24). They must not be accepted.
