And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon

Revelation 16:8-21

The fourth bowl of wrath is described as being poured on the Sun and caused the Sun to scorch men. Clearly the wrath in the bowl is a spiritual rather than physical, but its effects is real. The physical manifestation may be that the Sun is intensified and the heat will scorch the people. However, the people are still to stubborn to repent but instead blasphemed God.

The fifth angel's bowl of wrath is poured on the capital of the Beast and caused a darkness to occur in that region. The people may have realised that this is spiritual and they continued to blaspheme God instead of repenting.

The sixth angel pour the wrath into the river Euphrates. This caused the river to dry up such that the mortal enemies can now cross the river. The enemies mentioned are the kings of the East. The Enemy will make his move, by having the evil spirits inside the Dragon, Beast and the False Prophet to come out and roam the land to gather human kings and armies to battle the people of God.

We are told that although Yeshua will come like a thief in the night, we are supposed to wait and watch and not get caught naked by the sudden event. The enemies will all gather at the place called Armageddon.

The seventh bowl of wrath will be poured in the air and Heaven declares that "It is done!". There will be great natural upheaval on earth including the largest earthquakes. The great city is probably Jerusalem and will be split in three while other cities will be destroyed. Babylon, representing the chief blaspheming city, will face the full wrath. The devastation will include the destruction of islands and mountains. Great hail will fall on men, and yet they will continue to blaspheme rather than repent.
