Revelation 16:2 meaning and explanation
So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and loathsome, malignant sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
Revelation 16:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The first of seven bowls of God's wrath is emptied on the earth, echoing the sixth plague of Egypt (Exodus 9:9-11), where boils broke out on people and animals. Here the affliction falls specifically on those who bear the mark of the beast and worship its image, the same group introduced in Revelation 13.
