Between the 6th and 7th Vials
(Chapter 16:15)
Since the prophecies thus far in this section have brought us to the moment when judgment will be poured out on the assembled armies in the land of Israel, another parenthesis is opened to explain who will execute the judgment—and when. It will be the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who will judge these armies at His Appearing. His personal voice is now heard, “Behold, I come as a thief” (vs. 15).
