8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it burned people with its heat. 9 People were scorched and cursed the name of God who had [greek “echo” - holds] the power [epi - on, upon] the plagues [plégé - blow(s), wound(s)]. But they did not change their minds, nor give God glory. [Change mind - metanoéō - from metá - changed after being with, and noiéō - think; repent, think differently afterwards.] 10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the seat [thronos] of the beast (of the large many headed geopolitical beast of its time, as history does repeat). And his kingdom was plunged into darkness, and they gnawed their tongues in distress. (I had to consult a commentary for this phrase “gnawed their tongues” and “Barnes” Commentary said this — The word rendered here "gnawed" does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament, nor is the expression elsewhere used in the Bible, but its meaning is plain - it indicates deep anguish. And elsewhere -  “Take heed,” Jesus said, “that the light that is in you isn’t darkness.”) 11 And they cursed the God of heaven because of their distress, and their sores. But they did not repent of their works [ergon - work, task, employment, deeds, actions, that which is wrought or made, from ergo - to work, accomplish, érgon ("work") is a deed (action) that carries out (completes) an inner desire, intention, purpose].

     12 And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and it was completely dried up, making way for the kings from the rising of the sun. 13 And coming out of the mouth of the dragon (the adversary, first named Lucifer, then Satan) and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet (white robed magician with a getting old “strong” concoction/“delusion” who has “miracles” and modern wonders, and a prophecy it puts forth) what I [John] saw, was three unclean spirits like frogs (very distasteful? but intoxicating? “Coming out of their mouths.”) 14 They are the spirits of demons performing [poieó - making, doing, manufacturing, constructing] signs [sémeion - miracles, indications, marks, tokens, signs] which spirits go forth to the kings of earth to gather them together to the battle of the great day of God the Almighty. (Great Day of the LORD? — which proceeds from 2Pet.3:10 to 2Pet.3:12-13?/1Cor.15:24,28.)

     15 ..(Rev.1:1 - “This vision is what God showed to Jesus, so he could tell his servants what must happen. And Jesus sent his angel with the message to his servant John.”) Back to (16:)15 - “Behold I am coming like a thief does, happy are those watching and keeping their garments, lest they walk unclothed and the shame of them be seen.” 16 And they were gathered together to the place which in Hebrew, is called Armageddon. (And Is.24:20? 2Pet.3:10, 2Thes.1:7,8 — two thousand years before Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13, Is.11:7.)
