இரண்டாம் கலசம் - சமுத்திரத்திலே இரத்தம்
கலசம் - வாடிகன் / போப் (இரண்டாம் மிருகம்) மீது இயேசுவின் தீர்ப்பு
வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 16:3 - இரண்டாம் தூதன் தன் கலசத்திலுள்ளதைச் சமுத்திரத்திலே ஊற்றினான், உடனே அது செத்தவனுடைய இரத்தம் போலாயிற்று, சமுத்திரத்திலுள்ள பிராணிகள் யாவும் மாண்டுபோயின.
வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 11:6 - அவர்கள் தீர்க்கதரிசனஞ் சொல்லி வருகிற நாட்களிலே மழைபெய்யாதபடிக்கு வானத்தை அடைக்க அவர்களுக்கு அதிகாரமுண்டு, அவர்கள் தண்ணீர்களை இரத்தமாக மாற்றவும், தங்களுக்கு வேண்டும்போதெல்லாம் பூமியைச் சகலவித வாதைகளாலும் வாதிக்கவும் அவர்களுக்கு அதிகாரமுண்டு.
வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 13:1 - பின்பு நான் கடற்கரை மணலின்மேல் நின்றேன். அப்பொழுது சமுத்திரத்திலிருந்து ஒரு மிருகம் எழும்பிவரக் கண்டேன், அதற்கு ஏழு தலைகளும் பத்துக் கொம்புகளும் இருந்தன, அதின் கொம்புகளின்மேல் பத்து முடிகளும், அதின் தலைகளின்மேல் தூஷணமான நாமமும் இருந்தன.
The Second Vial caused the large scale massacres and dreadful wars that followed the French Revolution. France became drenched in its own blood, and the whole territory converted into a vast slaughterhouse.
It has been computed that 20,00,000 people were massacred in France within 3 years after it became a Republic of which 250,000 were women, 230,000 children, and 24,000 catholic priests.
Long after the Revolutionary massacres had ceased, French blood still continued to flow in torrents, and from the accession of Napoleon to the Consular and Imperial powers, till his overthrow by the combined forces of Europe, it successively fertilized the soil of every country in Europe.
The Sea on which the second vial is poured out turning it to blood, is understood to represent the maritime powers and colonies of Papal Christendom.
The democratic revolutionary spirit of France and the naval force of England contributed to effect the purpose of Divine Providence.
First, the Isle of Haiti, the most flourishing of the French colonies, being infected by the like infidel principles, was lost after a servile war of twelve years, in which 60,000 blacks were slaughtered.
Then, for 20 years, the fleet of England (preserved and directed by the same good providence of God) wasted in all directions the ships, commerce, and maritime colonies of France, and of her allies, Holland and Spain. Their fleet was destroyed in 1793, at Toulon, by Admiral Samuel Hood; by whom also Corsica, and nearly all the Spanish and West Indian Islands were taken in 1794. In 1795 followed the naval victory of L'Orient, and the capture of the Cape of Good Hope.
The Victory in 1797 off Cape St. Vincent was quickly succeeded by that of Camperdown over the Dutch fleet. Then followed Lord Nelson's three mighty victories of the Nile in 1798, of Copenhagen in 1801, and in 1805 of Trafalgar.
600 Ships destroyed in War Viewing the losses suffered by France from 1793 to the end of 1815, we find that nearly 600 vessels of war, besides numerous ships of commerce, were destroyed, together with a large proportion of their officers and men.
The world's history does not furnish such a period of naval war and bloodshed till that time. The sea became as the blood of a dead man (Revelation 16:3).
Finally, when the maritime power of the papal nations had been swept away by English victories, the Spanish colonies of South America threw off their allegiance, after another scene of carnage, only paralleled by those before described;
The Brazilians also were separated from Portugal, and so the prediction was complete: as regarded the papal European colonies, they became dead.
Protestant England & Catholic Europe strive together upon the ocean. The old Catholic powers, those which in the past have been the vile instruments of Papal wrong, the nations whose kings have committed fornication with the great spiritual harlot, suffer the loss in this long and deadly struggle of 600 ships of the Line, the largest war vessels that then went to sea, besides the 1000s of ships of war of smaller size.
At the close of the contest, the naval power of Catholic Europe had been swept from the ocean by Protestant England.
