Israeli Airstrike on Home Unlawful

Rubble of the destroyed al-Dalu family home. Anne Paq for Human Rights Watch

December 7, 2012 – New York – Human Rights Watch – An Israeli airstrike that killed 12 civilians – the largest number of civilians killed in a single attack during the Gaza fighting in November – was a clear violation of the laws of war.

On November 18, 2012, Israeli forces dropped what appears to have been a large aerial bomb on the three-story home of the Dalu family in Gaza City, killing 10 members of the household – one man, five women, and four children. A young man and an elderly woman of the Muzannar family next door were also killed.

At first the Israel “Defense Forces” (IDF) said they were attacking a Hamas fighter named Yahia Abayah. Eight days later the IDF said the target had been the man killed in the house, Mohamed Jamal al-Dalu, whom they called a “terror operative” for Hamas without providing supporting information. Even if al-Dalu, a low-ranking police officer, was a legitimate military target under the laws of war, the likelihood that the attack on a civilian home would have killed large numbers of civilians made it unlawfully disproportionate, Human Rights Watch said. Attacks in which the expected civilian loss exceeds the anticipated military gain are serious violations of the laws of war.

“The Israeli claim that the attack on the Dalu home was justified is unsupported by the facts,” said Fred Abrahams, special advisor at Human Rights Watch, who conducted research in Gaza. “The onus is on Israel to explain why it bombed a home full of civilians killing 12 people.”

The Israeli strike occurred around 2:30 p.m. in the residential and densely populated Nasser neighborhood of Gaza City. The head of the household, Jamal al-Dalu, a 50-year-old food distributor, told Human Rights Watch that he had gone to the market with his son Abdallah to buy food for his family, and then to the mosque for afternoon prayers. While Jamal al-Dalu was praying, his son received a telephone call that that their home had been destroyed and family members killed.

A relative, Ayman al-Dalu, said he heard the explosion and arrived at the house 10 minutes after the attack. “The whole building had collapsed,” he said. “Out front was nothing, only yellow sand. When we arrived we could see two bodies in the rubble.” Those were the bodies of Suhaila, 73, and Samah, 25, he said.

The sole survivor of the attack, 16-year-old Nasser Saluha, the brother of one of the victims, Samah al-Dalu, told Human Rights Watch that he had gone to the house to play with the other children and they were about to eat lunch in an upstairs room when the house was struck without any warning:

My sister was bringing the food for lunch and we were about to start. I thought that something hit the house strongly. I didn’t hear anything. I felt a shock and pressure and something was pulling me into the ground. I found myself lying on my back with dust and sand all over my body. I managed to get out of the rubble and run into the street. I felt pain in my leg; my whole body was cut up and needed stiches.

Nasser said that he was upstairs with his sister and the four children when the explosive hit. The women were downstairs and Mohamed al-Dalu, the only man in the house, was in a bedroom.

The family and civil defense forces dug out eight members of the family from the rubble that afternoon. The bodies of two victims – Yara, 17, and Mohamed, 29 – were not discovered until November 22.

The attack on Jamal al-Dalu’s home also killed a grandson and grandmother from the al-Muzanner family, who lived next door. The blast ripped open the back walls facing the Dalu home and caused major damage inside.

The head of the neighboring household, Mohamed al-Muzannar, owner of the Ramadan Muzannar sweets factory, told Human Rights Watch that he was in a front room on the other side from the Dalu house when the attack took place. The strike killed al-Muzannar’s son Abdallah, 18, a science student at al-Azhar University, and his mother Amina, 83. Mohamed’s wife Naha, 37, was injured in both legs.

One of Mohamed al-Muzannar’s sons, Amjad, a 20-year-old accounting student, said he was on the stairs of the two-story house at the time of the strike. “It was quiet, we had just heard a strike on the Danah building [about 700 meters away] about half an hour before,” he said. “Suddenly the ceramic tiles fell on me, so I knew it was in this area. I ran downstairs to get my parents and all of a sudden I couldn’t see, it was all smoke and dust. I tried calling [to my family] but I have asthma [so I couldn’t] and I ran into the street.”

Another son, 17-year-old Haitham, said he was on the back balcony facing the Dalu house at the time. “There was dust and I flew into the wall – I couldn’t see,” he said. “I could hear someone yelling, ‘Your brother is dead! Your brother is dead!” Haitham suffered cuts on his arm, chest, left ear, and back of the head, most of which required stiches.

On the staircase of the Muzannar house Human Rights Watch saw streaks of blood that Amjad and Haitham said came from their injuries as they groped their way through the dust and smoke out of the house.

In addition to the 12 deaths in the Dalu and Muzannar families, the airstrike wounded at least nine civilians in the area, and badly damaged or destroyed three other homes.

When Human Rights Watch visited the site one week after the strike, researchers found no remains of the Israeli munition, which family members said civil defense crews had removed while recovering the bodies. The complete destruction of the three-story house and the extensive damage to the surrounding homes suggests that Israeli forces dropped a large aerial bomb.

Israel has offered different explanations for what happened. Just after the attack, IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Avital Liebovitch described the strike as an accident that Israel was “still looking into it.” She said the intended target had been a man “in charge of rocket launching.”

Another IDF spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, said on television the day of the strike that the Israeli military had tried to target a senior member of Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, whom he identified as Yahia Abayah. “Although I don’t know the outcome, there were civilians harmed by this,” he was reported as saying.

Members of the Dalu family and neighbors told Human Rights Watch they had not heard of anyone named Yahia Abayah. His name is not listed as a killed fighter on the official websites of Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades or Islamic Jihad’s Saraya al-Quds.

On November 27, five days after Mohamed al-Dalu’s body was found, Lt. Col. Liebovitch said that the military had targeted Mohamed al-Dalu because he was a “known terror operative affiliated with the military wing of Hamas.” She provided no information to support the claim.

The IDF did not respond to a request from Human Rights Watch for more information.

Members of the Dalu family and neighbors interviewed separately said that Mohamed al-Dalu was not a member of any Palestinian armed group. He was a lieutenant in the civilian police under the Interior Ministry, they said, specializing in VIP protection.

The website of the al-Qassam Brigades regularly posts the names and biographies of its killed fighters, including 20 men from the eight days of fighting in November, but as of December 6 it had not posted any mention of Mohamed al-Dalu. At the site of the Dalu house, Human Rights Watch saw two posters, one from Hamas and one from the al-Israa Mosque, which called Mohamed al-Dalu a “martyr” and “fighter” for the al-Qassam Brigade and showed him respectively with an assault rifle and a pistol. The family and Palestinian journalists in Gaza said this was common for killed police and employees of the government, especially if Hamas covered the costs of the funeral.

Mohamed al-Dalu’s commander in the police, Maj. Refa’at al-Wali, who heads the Security and Protection Force at the Interior Ministry, told Human Rights Watch that since 2006 al-Dalu had been in a unit responsible for protecting Gaza government officials and visiting dignitaries. Major al-Wali said that al-Dalu had worked every day during the latest fighting, and that he was not a member of any armed group.

Police spokesman Ayman al-Batnigri also told Human Rights Watch that al-Dalu was a member of the Security and Protection Force, which he called a purely “civilian department.” In the Interior Ministry, Human Rights Watch saw a poster with 25 policemen who were killed in the November fighting that included Mohamed al-Dalu. The circumstances of each of the policemen’s deaths are not known. Eight of the killed policemen also appear on the al-Qassem Brigades’ list of killed fighters, but not Mohamed al-Dalu. None of them appeared on the lists of killed fighters from Islamic Jihad or the Popular Resistance Committees.

Under international humanitarian law, or the laws of war, which were applicable during the November fighting in Gaza, civilans and civilian objects may not be targets of attack. Police are presumed to be civilian, and thus immune from attack, unless they are formally incorporated into the armed forces of a party to the conflict or are directly participating in the hostilities.

Israel has not provided any information to support the claim that Mohamed al-Dalu was directly participating in hostilities, Human Rights Watch said.

“Israel’s belated effort, once it could scour the list of victims, to defend the attack by naming a civilian police officer found among the dead suggests an after-the-fact attempt to justify the unjustifiable,” Abrahams said.

Even if Mohamed al-Dalu were a legitimate military target, an attack on his crowded home would be unlikely to meet the requirement of proportionality, Human Rights Watch said. Under the laws of war, the expected military gain from an attack must outweigh the anticipated civilian harm.

Disproportionate attacks are serious violations which Israel has an obligation to investigate. Victims of laws of war violations and their families should be promptly and adequately compensated. Anyone responsible for deliberately or recklessly committing a serious violation of the laws of war should be prosecuted for war crimes.

“Israel needs to explain why it bombed this house filled with civilians,” Abrahams said. “Anyone who violated the law should be appropriately punished.”

The recent fighting between Israel and Hamas and armed groups in Gaza took place from November 14 to 21. It involved unlawful attacks on civilians by both sides. At least 103 Palestinian civilians and 4 Israeli civilians died during the fighting.

Abortion

This is the group behind it all - they started the huge push in the 1950's and 1960's for all abortion worldwide.

http://www.guttmacher.org/ Started by the Jew abortionist Gentile murderer Alan Guttmacher see link: Guttmacher. Scroll back, see all the articles.

True, Margaret Sanger and Adolph Hitler and the Nazis were allies in the anti-God and anti-life agendas in the first half of the twentieth century. Sanger was a virulent racist who wanted all of the Black folk sterilized and eliminated by total eugenocide and Hitler and the Nazis adopted this for their own policy. Jesse Owens, however shoved Hiter's racist garbage back in his own face in the Berlin 1936 Olympics, as did Joe Louis (who as Muhammad Ali freely admitted was in fact the greatest heavyweight fighter in the twentieth century) when he, Joe Louis, knocked out Max Schmeling in 1938 - see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GusM4IgmLe8 .


Check out Joe's righteous anger, as Joe said, "he can run but he cannot hide." After the war Schmeling (who was a Wehrmacht paratrooper but not a Nazi party member) became Joe's supporter. The German people were no more ignorant of the Nazi savage crimes than the American people are now of the American crimes worldwide. Either you oppose evil or you are part of it. When the time comes for judgment as Joe said, one can run but not hide, we know that the Just Judge will judge all, the evil will try to hide but fail in that:

Apocalypse, Book of the Revelation, Chapter 6:

15 And the kings of the earth and the princes and tribunes and the rich and the strong and every bondman and every freeman hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains: … Scripture reference – Isaiah: 2:19; Rev.: 19:18

16 And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. [8] … Scripture reference – Isaiah: 2:19; Hosea 10:8; Lk. 23:30


At the end of World War II when the work-relocation (relocation with the invasion of Palestine as the purpose) camps that the Jews were in, were entered by the Allies and the Jews were found alive there, General George S. Patton was ready and willing to finish Hitler's treacherous ally Stalin. What is not known by many today is that the Allied troops in both the European and Pacific Theaters of war knew of this and supported it and were quite ready to go and finish the job. It was Hitler's secret facilitator and Stalin's open ally Franklin D. Roosevelt that stopped that from happening. Patton was assassinated by the OSS/SHAEF by a wire across a road where his driver left down the wire cutter on his jeep on purpose (a wire strung by the OSS snapped the neck/decapitated Patton on the order of SHAEF) for the express reason to make sure that the American Press did not take up the cause of destroying Stalin and Russian Communism with the military force already in place by the Allies.

The Jews that died in World War II in the camps, died of Typhus which attacked anyone regardless of whatever nationality, race, group whatever...

Out of this planned New World Order Risorgimento (reorganization) came the Naqba when the British allowed the Jews to invade and terrorize Palestine and the United Nations (a huge abortion provider and total murderous Agenda 21 fan and overall Communist genocidal organization) unlawfully gave the Palestinians' land to the European Jews to commit the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians with the express purpose of destroying Christianity in the Holy Land and then after that to destroy Islam.

Happy mother's Day to all the Mommies and Babies who are true holocaust survivors of the largest genocide ever, abortion (including the pill which is an abortafacient which murders the baby after conception - to date over one half Billion [billion with a "B"] helpless absolutely innocent victims). Notice that the Nazis and the Jews are consistently working for the same ends, the term ZioNazi is quite accurate. The Thule Cult of Nazi Paganism (alive and just as evil in the American Neo-Fascist Military Industrial Complex) and the Moloch Chemosh Cult of the ZioNazis are absolutely working together for the same ends, the absolute Satanic destruction of humanity. As absolutely diametrically opposed to Biblical Old Testament and New Testament truth and totally opposite to it, the actual term 'holocaust' in Zionism refers to making burnt offerings to Satan out of Gentiles. See Israeli White Phosphorus in the Massacre of Sabra and Shatilla on West Beirut, 29 July, 1982 and in Gaza on little innocent Palestinian babies for instance. Mahmoud Abbas facilitated that on Gaza just like he facilitated the Munich Black September 5, 1972 Olympic Israeli False Flag Black Operation for the Israeli Secret Services. For Israeli False Flags, only a very partial list, see: God and His Messiah Jesus Christ our Lord - our right and duty to witness to Him: What happened in Palestine during World War II? - and Israeli False Flag Black Operations

The Silent Scream Complete Version - Abortion as Infanticide

Dr. Bernard Nathanson's classic video that shocked the world. He explains the procedure of a suction abortion, followed by an actual first trimester abortion as seen through ultrasound. The viewer can see the child's pathetic attempts to escape the suction curette as her heart rate doubles, and a "silent scream" as her body is torn apart. A great tool to help people see why abortion is murder. The most important video on abortion ever made. This video changed opinion on abortion to many people.

Introduction by Dr. Bernard Nathanson, host. Describes the technology of ultrasound and how, for the first time ever, we can actually see inside the womb. Dr. Nathanson further describes the ultrasound technique and shows examples of babies in the womb. Three-dimensional depiction of the developing fetus, from 4 weeks through 28 weeks. Display and usage of the abortionists' tools, plus video of an abortionist performing a suction abortion. Dr. Nathanson discusses the abortionist who agreed to allow this abortion to be filmed with ultrasound. The abortionist was quite skilled, having performed more than 10,000 abortions. We discover that the resulting ultrasound of his abortion so appalled him that he never again performed another abortion. The clip begins with an ultrasound of the fetus (girl) who is about to be aborted. The girl is moving in the womb; displays a heartbeat of 140 per minute; and is at times sucking her thumb. As the abortionist's suction tip begins to invade the womb, the child rears and moves violently in an attempt to avoid the instrument. Her mouth is visibly open in a "silent scream." The child's heart rate speeds up dramatically (to 200 beats per minute) as she senses aggression. She moves violently away in a pathetic attempt to escape the instrument. The abortionist's suction tip begins to rip the baby's limbs from its body, ultimately leaving only her head in the uterus (too large to be pulled from the uterus in one piece). The abortionist attempts to crush her head with his forceps, allowing it to be removed. In an effort to "dehumanize" the procedure, the abortionist and anesthesiologist refer to the baby's head as "number 1." The abortionist crushes "number 1" with the forceps and removes it from the uterus. Abortion statistics are revealed, as well as who benefits from the enormously lucrative industry that has developed. Clinics are now franchised, and there is ample evidence that many are controlled by organized crime. Women are victims, too. They haven't been told about the true nature of the unborn child or the facts about abortion procedures. Their wombs have been perforated, infected, destroyed, and sterilized. All as a result of an operation about which they they have had no true knowledge. Films like this must be made part of "informed consent." NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) and Planned Parenthood are accused of a conspiracy of silence, of keeping women in the dark about the reality of abortion. Finally, Dr. Nathanson discusses his credentials. He is a former abortionist, having been the director of the largest clinic in the Western world.

In-depth Report: SYRIA: NATO'S NEXT WAR?

Hawks Desperate to Drum Up an Excuse for War

It is likely that Al Qaeda rebels – and not the Syrian government – carried out the chemical weapons attack which the hawks in Washington are trying to use as a reason to invade.

Haaretz reported on March 24th, “Jihadists, not Assad, apparently behind reported chemical attack in Syria“.

Te Syria Tribune released a video in December allegedly showing Syrian rebels killing rabbits with chemical weapons, and threatening to use them against supporters of the Syrian government. (It is impossible at this point to say whether this is genuine or propaganda).

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson – the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell under President George W. Bush – said yesterday that the Syrian chemical weapons could be a “Israeli false flag operation”.

Wilkerson said that he had been told by his sources in the intelligence community that evidence that Syria had used chemical weapons was “really flaky” and that President Barack Obama should think twice before intervening.

“This could have been an Israeli false flag operation,” he said. “You’ve got basically a geo-strategically, geo-political — if you will — inept regime in Tel Aviv right now.”

Indeed, Neoconservatives planned regime change in Syria – and throughout the Middle East and North Africa – 20 years ago.

And carrying out acts of violence and blaming it on the Syrian government as an excuse for regime change – i.e. false flag terror – was discussed over 50 years ago by British and American leaders.

And the “rebels” in Syria that the U.S. has been supporting are Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood.  Indeed, the New York Times s reported last week that virtually all of the rebel fighters are Al Qaeda terrorist,

But that doesn’t matter … war is sold just like toothpaste, and once there is a sufficient excuse for war – real or made up – we can march forward.

Use of chemical weapons in Syria may be Israeli false flag op: former US official

Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell

A former senior US official says the use of chemical weapons in Syria might have been a "false flag operation" conducted by Israel to incriminate the Syrian government.

Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as the chief of staff of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell during the administration of President George W. Bush, said he did not believe the Syrian government has crossed a red line. 

“What I’m hearing from the intelligence community is that that evidence is really flakey," Wilkerson said in an interview with Current TV on Thursday.

He also advised the US government not to intervene on the basis of such “flimsy evidence.” 

While opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accuse his government of using chemical weapons on their own country’s citizens, Damascus says the attacks were perpetrated by foreign-backed militants operating in the country. 

Commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Wilkerson said he is leading “basically a geo-strategically, geo-political -- if you will -- inept regime.” 

“I think we saw really startling evidence of that,” he noted, “in the fact that President Obama had to tell Bibi Netanyahu ‘Pick up the phone, you idiot, call Ankara and get yourself out of this strategic isolation you’re in right now.”

Wilkerson was referring to the fact that US President Barack Obama pushed Netanyahu to formally apologize to Turkey over a 2010 attack that killed eight Turkish civilians aboard the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla while the ships were in international waters. 

He went on to say that Israel is currently in “a very, very dangerous situation,” given the growing influence of resistance groups, the ouster of pro-Israeli Arab dictators by popular revolutions, and the crisis in Syria. 

“The president (Obama) has got to be very circumspect about what he does in exacerbating that situation. Netanyahu is clueless as to this,” Wilkerson stated. 

“I hope that President Obama gave him a lecture into geo-strategic realities,” he added.

Israeli fighter jets launched an attack from Lebanese airspace, which they repeatedly violated, on the research center in Jamraya.

As on January 10, Israel claimed to have targeted weapons allegedly bound for Hezbollah.

On January 10, the Syrian military authorities declared that Israel had in reality destroyed some transmission equipment, confiscated from the jihadists and stored in the research center to be examined. This time, however, they have indicated that the raid was launched to break the siege of armed Al-Ghioucha Al-Charghiya groups. On its part, Iranian television reports the destruction of one of the Israeli planes, while Israeli television talks about two destroyed aircraft.

The attack this morning shook the entire city. However, there is no confirmation that a similar raid took place on the night of 3-4 May, as has been alleged by the Western media.

Supreme Judicial Council Steals 430.000 EUR From EU Donations

صديقي الجاسوس – كما ظهر اختفى
مجلس القضاء الأعلى الفلسطيني متورط في نهب مليونين من أموال دافعي الضرائب في أوروبا 
كي لاتضيع البوصلة – دكتور غزوان أكتع / الدكتور أحمد محيسن ومجموعة من المقالات

A big financial scandal has come to public knowledge, which involves senior officials in the Palestinian Supreme Judicial Council and the Palestinian Ministry of Finance, who stole more than NIS 2 million (about 430.000 EUR) from the budget of the Judicial Council with the complicity of a senior Palestinian figure at the PA. The budget of the Supreme Judicial Council is financed by the EU and western countries.

After the PA exercised its power and exerted strong pressure to close the investigation of the theft and the corruption in the judicial system, demanding that the committee which investigated the corruption to not to release further news about the scandal and not to open an investigation into the involvement of personalities of PA at the Ramallah district and prosecutor’s office, the European Union continues pumping millions into the treasury of the Palestinian Authority so that the thieves can steal more and more and the PA President and the big crew of buddies which travel in his company during his various tours around the world, staying at luxury hotels and buying expensive suits of silk and luxury shoes from renowned brands.

The EU recently released on May 6 2012, a financial package worth €20 million Euros from money of EU taxpayers, provided to the Palestinian Authority in order to pay the salaries of the employees of the so-called PA “security” coordination with Israel, the retirement pensions and the social security allowances for people who live in poverty in Palestine, after these monies mysteriously disappeared a short time ago.

The PA “security” spends the world’s highest part of the state budget when compared to the other countries: of the PA budget, including donations and aid, 40% goes to the military. In Jordan, the already excessive military budget of that country only reaches 20% or so of their national budget. In France, another country with a high military expenditure, only 5.5% of the national budget goes to the military. Most of the Middle East countries spend 7% to 12% of their national budgets on the military. But ONLY in occupied Palestine, which relies for its budget on begging donations from Western countries and hand gifts from some Arab countries, spends 35% – 40% of its budget on its useless military.

Palestinians stressed that PA elements have spent millions on their trips and the travel abroad. President Abbas and his staff reportedly spend over 10 million dollar monthly only for travelling. The PA elements that hold the so-called VIP passports are always travelling with their beautiful secretaries and an army of body-guards, and wherever they go, they stay at five-star hotels and eat at expensive restaurants.

BOOK OF REVELATION UNCOVERED: Chapter 16

by: Dr. Dean Crosby

[Editor's Note: For this study, the author uses easy to understand Contemporary English Version (CEV) of Bible that has been created by the American Bible Society. His insights are given in capital letters. This include explanations and historical background information for the words you have just read in order to make the startling predictions made in this important and fascinating book comprehensible. Occasionally make changes will be made in the CEV words if a variance is detected from the meaning found in the King James Bible.]

REVELATION 16

1 From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels, "Go and empty the seven bowls (REFERS TO PLAGUES) of God's anger on the earth."
2 The first angel emptied his bowl on the earth. At once ugly and painful sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast (SHOWING LOYALTY TO THE ANTI-CHRIST) and worshiped the idol. (REFERS TO A STATUE DEPICTING THE ANTI-CHRIST)
3 The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. (THOUGHT TO BE THE MEDITERRANEAN OCEAN) Immediately the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, (BLOOD IN THE DECEASED BECOMES VERY THICK AND CHANGES TO A BLACK COLOR) and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and streams. At once they turned into blood. (THERE IS NO REASON TO INTERPRET THIS WORD AS A SYMBOL)
5 Then I heard the angel, who has power over water, (HEY LOOK, IT'S THE WATER ANGEL! THIS BOOK MORE THAN ANY OTHER IN THE BIBLE GIVES US DETAILS ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES AND ROLES OF ANGELS) say, "You have always been, and you always will be (GOD DOESN'T CHANGE. SCARY FOR OUR SOCIETY ISN'T IT?) the holy God because you judged them. (THIS IMPLIES THAT GOD WOULD NOT REMAIN HOLY IF HE DID NOT JUDGE AND PUNISH THE PERVERSION THAT EXISTS ON THE EARTH WHICH IS THE NECESSARY EXPLANATION FOR THOSE WHO WILL KEEP CRYING OUT "WHY IS GOD DOING ALL OF THIS TO US " INSTEAD OF THE MORE RELEVANT QUESTION, "OH LORD HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY SIN SO MUCH?") 6 They (REFERS TO THE FOLLOWERS OF THE ANTI-CHRIST) poured out the blood (MURDERED) of saints and prophets. So you (GOD) gave them blood to drink, as they deserve!"
7 After this, I heard (THOSE AT) the altar shout, "Yes, Lord God All-Powerful, your judgments are honest and fair." (THIS STATEMENT COMES FROM THOSE WHO WERE MURDERED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO ABANDON THEIR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS DURING THE TRIBULATION)
8 The fourth angel emptied his bowl on the sun, and it began to scorch people like fire. (THIS HEAT WILL ALSO DRAMATICALLY WORSEN THE ALREADY CRITICAL WATER SHORTAGE PROBLEM) 9 People were scorched by its great heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over these horrendous troubles. (WOW IMPROVEMENT AT LONG LAST! THEY ARE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGING GOD!!) But no one turned to God and worshiped Him. (IT LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED STILL MORE PUNISHMENT DOESN'T IT?)
10 The fifth angel emptied his bowl on the throne of the beast. (THE LOCATION OF THE ANTI-CHRIST ) At once darkness covered its (ANTI-CHRIST'S) kingdom, and its people began biting their tongues in pain. 11 And because of their painful sores, (BOILS) they cursed the God who rules in heaven. But still they did not stop doing evil things. (CAN YOU SPELL P E R V E R T E D ?)
12 The sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it completely dried up to make a road ( THE ARMIES OF THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS PLAGUE AND USE THE DRIED UP RIVER BED TO TRANSPORT TROOPS TO ENGAGE IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON) for the kings from the East. (THE GREEK TRANSLATION STATES "KINGS OF THE SUN RISING" WHICH INDICATES THAT ARMIES FROM CHINA WILL BE SENT TO WAR IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON) 13 An evil spirit that looked like a frog came out of the mouth of the dragon. (SATAN) One also came out of the mouth of the beast, (ANTI-CHRIST) and another out of the mouth of the false prophet. (RELIGIOUS LEADER WHOM MANY BELIEVE WILL BE THE HEAD OF A CHURCH DENOMINATION) 14 These evil spirits had the power to work miracles. They went to every king (HEAD OF STATE OR POLITICAL LEADER) on earth, to bring them together (THIS SHOWS THAT THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL NOT CONTROL ALL OF THE NATIONS IN THE WORLD. INFLUENCE YES BUT CONTROL NO) for a war against God All-Powerful. (THE ANTI-CHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET, BOTH OF THEM DEMON POSSESSED , WILL CREATE A WORLD WAR USING ARMIES FROM MANY NATIONS) But that will be the day of God's great victory. (GOD WILL END THE WAR AND DEFEAT SATAN BY DESTROYING HIS ARMIES)
15 Remember that Christ says, "When I come, it will surprise you like a thief! (HERE IS ANOTHER DESCRIPTION: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:2-3 You surely know that the Lord's return will be as a thief coming at night. 3 People will think they are safe and secure. But destruction will suddenly strike them like the pains of a woman about to give birth. And they won't escape. ) But God will bless you, if you are awake (MORALLY CONSCIOUS, UNLIKELY TO ACCEPT SATANIC DECEPTION) and ready. (FOR SALVATION) Then you won't have to walk naked (UNPROTECTED FROM CONDEMNATION) and be ashamed." (THOUGHT TO REFER TO THE JUDGMENT)

[1] -Ver. 1. Great (loud) voice: the divine voice from the throne itself.
[2] -Ver. 2. The plague falls on those who carry the character (mark) of the beast; it resembles the sixth Egyptian plague, the plague of boils. Cf. Ex. 9, 8-12.
[3] -Ver. 15. Behold, I come: the voice of Christ.
[4] -Ver. 16. Armagedon: or, as in Hebrew, “Har-Megiddo,” i.e., the mountain of Megiddo. The place indicated here is the plain of Esdraelon, the great battlefield of Palestine; here the fortunes of kings have been decided, here, rulers fought and fell. This battleground becomes the symbol of the divine struggle.

Revelation Chapter 16

(text from Bible Gateway NKJV )

Revelation 16

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls^[a] of the wrath of God on the earth.”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

² So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying:


“ You are righteous, O Lord,^[b]
The One who is and who was and who is to be,^[c]
Because You have judged these things.
⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
And You have given them blood to drink.
For^[d] it is their just due.”

⁷ And I heard another from^[e] the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. ¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and^[f] of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
¹⁵ “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.^[g]

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸ And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. ¹⁹ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. ²⁰Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

The explanation of The Orthodox Study Bible for Revelation Chapter 16 is in these -

Footnotes

16:2—4 The first ... bowl is poured out and the mark of the beast breaks out upon those who received it in foul and loathsome sores (see Wisd. 11:16), like the sixth plague of Ex. 9:8—11. The second (v. 3) and third (v. 4) bowls are like the first plague (Ex. 7:20, 21; see Rev. 8:8—11).

16:5—7 This judgment becomes the occasion for a doxology to God from the angel of the waters, the element just affected by God’s wrath (vv. 3, 4). In biblical thought, spiritual or angelic powers have charge of the physical realm; all elements of the material world have angelic guardians. In response, a voice from the altar (possibly the voice of the martyrs— see 6:9; 8:3—5; 9:13) proclaims God’s judgments are true and righteous (v. 7).
There is a parallel here with “the song of Moses” (15:3, 4). Indeed, there is a parallel here with the hymnodic interlude in the Jerusalem temple liturgy between the preparation and the offering of the sacrificed lamb. It is their just due (v. 6) is literally “they are worthy” (Gr.axios), the antithesis of the worthiness of the Lamb sung about in 5:9, 12. At the ordination of a deacon, priest, or bishop, the assembly sings “Axios” as an assent to the candidate’s worthiness.
16:8, 9 The spiritually hardened followers of the beast cannot repent, but only blaspheme at the judgments of God, in contrast to Dan. 3:22, 27, where the holy youths who refuse to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s image are not even singed by the furnace’s heat, here those who worship the beast and its image are scorched with great heat (v. 9).
16:10 The plague of darkness is similar to the ninth Egyptian plague (Ex. 10:21—29). Here thethrone is Rome (in contrast to 2:13, where “Satan’s throne” is Pergamos), and the kingdom is the empire. Satan has shared his dominion with “the beast from the land,” the false prophet (13:11).
16:12 As in 9:13—21, the Roman Empire is threatened by peoples from beyond the Euphrates. This river formed a natural defensive line for Rome against the kings from the east, the Parthians (see also 6:2; 17:12, 13). The Old Testament miracles of crossing over a river on dry land (Ex. 14:21; Josh. 3:17) are repeated (see also Is. 11:15; Jer. 51:36; Zech. 10:11).
16:13 This is an allusion to the second Egyptian plague (Ex. 8:1—11). The unclean spirits (see 1 Tim. 4:1) are like frogs (included in the unclean animals of Lev. 11:10).

16:14 Spirits of demons, performing signs are predicted by our Lord (Mark 13:22 see also Acts 13:6; 2 Thess. 2:9). The great day of God Almighty (6:17; foreshadowed in Joel 2:11 and Zeph. 1:14; graphically described in 2 Pet. 3:12) is the eschatological Day of the Lord.
16:15 In a parenthetical comment, we are told that this Day of the Lord will see Him comingunexpectedly like a thief (see 3:3; Matt. 24:42—44; 1 Thess. 5:2). Like the wise virgins who stand in readiness for the Bridegroom who comes at midnight (Matt. 25:1—13), the blessedfaithful are here exhorted to remain vigilant as well. It is said that the officer on duty at theJerusalem temple was to see that his night guards kept awake during their watch. If they were caught asleep, they were beaten. If caught a second time, they were stripped of theirgarments, their vesture, then and there. A Christian’s garment is his white baptismal robe, “the garment of righteousness,” the putting on of Christ.
16:16 Decisive battles in Israel’s history were fought in the strategic pass near Megiddo (see 2 Kin. 9:27). Armageddon—the word is found only here in Scripture—means "the hill ofMegiddo”; the nearest hill to Megiddo is Mt. Carmel, where Elijah confronted the prophets ofBaal (1 Kin. 18:19—40). In the final conflict at Armageddon, evil spirits (vv. 13, 14) lead apostate mankind against God. This battle is more fully recorded in 20:7—10, and foreshadowed in Ezek. 39 and Joel 3.
16:17—21 The last bowl is a conclusive act of judgment; a loud voice from God's thronedeclares, “It is done!” (repeated at 21:6; see John 19:30). Cosmic signs of God's presence are manifest which evoke His appearance on Mt. Sinai and other theophanies (see 4:5; 8:5; 11:10), and are quite similar to those of the last trumpet (11:19)—especially a great earthquakecausing worldwide destruction (v. 20). Yet even 75-pound (75 lbs. = one talent) hailstones fail to induce repentance. The great city (v. 19) is probably Jerusalem (see 11:8), since Rome is mentioned separately as great Babylon. [Ed. note - the Vatican is, by all applicable Catholic and Orthodox exegesis, what is meant in the last times, Rome, Italy is included and the Aeur, in particular; in the 1st century A.D. it was pagan Rome of the Roman Empire that was the type of this final fulfillment that is commencing even now.]
