I begin with a brief discussion on the outline and structure of the book of Revelation:
Topical Structure
Scene 1 (1-3) Jesus knows His church
Scene 2 (4-7) The Church in persecution

Scene 4 (12-14) The Dragon & his beasts
Scene 5 (15-16) The 7 bowls of wrath
Scene 6 (17-19) Jesus judges the beasts

(For other sermons regarding structure and purpose see #26, 33, and 45)

4 points regarding the 7th bowl:

1. It seals men forever in thier hatred towards God.

2. It wipes evil from the face of the earth.

3)It vindicates God's justice.

4. It fully discloses God's holiness.

Conclusion: Truth reveals absurdity for what it is-absurd!
