The Word of Revelation from Heaven 

Introductory Lesson 7 : The Figurative Bowl 



Main Reference : Rev 16:7 
Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath God, who lives forever and ever. 


✔What is Reality of Figurative Bowl? 
Bowl is a person's heart and church 

✔Explanation 
 1. Figurative Bowl 
= "person's heart"
*What are the physical characteristics of Bowl? 
➚tool used to contain things

Is 64:8) you are the Potter and we are the clay 
➚God=Potter, clay=us (people) 

Rom 9:21-24
21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use
22 What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath prepared for destruction?
23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory 
24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? 
➚we are called 'bowls' not only by Jews, but only by the Gentiles 

Acts 9:15) Apostle was chosen by Jesus as a bowl to testify Jesus' name


 2. Bowl of God and Bowl of Satan 


One will be called God's bowl or called Satan's bowl according to what one has within. One must evaluate oneself to see if one is God's bowl or Satan's bowl. 
 
Jer 48:11-12 
11 "Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. 
12 But days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will send men who pour from jars, and they will pour her out; they will empty her jars and smash her jugs."
➚Jar (wine left on its dregs) 
Men who pour out from jars → Jugs: smashed (judgment) 

Mt 23:25-26) Pharisees and teachers of law: "Woe" 
- Outside: clean
- Inside: full of great and self indulgence 

2 Tim 2:21) If man cleanses himself from latter → he will become instrument used for noble purposes 
How to clean? 
Jn 15:3, 1 Pt 1:22) obey to the truth, Jesus' word 


 3. Bowl that Holds People 
Mt 13:47-48 
37 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish
38 When it was full, the fisherman pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets but threw the bad away
➚good fish(righteous) - in basket 
bad fish(wicked) - thrown away 

*Bowl that contains God's Word = person's heart 
Bowl that contains people = church
