Revelation 16:10

Verse 10

b. Fifth vial on kingdom of the beast, Revelation 16:10-11 .

10. Seat More truly, throne.

Its pride, power, and darkening are chanted in Revelation 18:7-8. Bold and terrible was that stroke of the angel- plague! From that high centre it would radiate darkness through his kingdom; and no wonder his subjects gnawed their tongues for pain.
