Revelation 16:17 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air, and a great voice came out of the Temple from the throne saying, “It is done”.'

The seventh bowl brings all to conclusion. The voice from the throne declares that ‘It is done'. This bowl is poured out on the air. It produces the great hail which speaks of the final judgment of God (compare on Revelation 11:19), and the final great earthquake beyond all earthquakes (Revelation 16:18). For in that bowl all is completed. “It is done”. The voice from the throne declares the end of all things. This compares with the strong angel who declared that time was no longer to be (Revelation 10:6). The voice from the throne may be that of a living creature or it may be the voice of the One Who sits on the throne. Either way it is final.

Revelation 16:17

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
