Here's an outtake from study by Richard Jordan on Revelation 16:
That stuff was so contagious that the germ would get in the house and contaminate it and the house would have to be quarantined.
Jude 23: [23] And others save with fear, pulling them
out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Here’s a bunch of people in the tribulation who have taken
the mark of the beast and gotten these oozing sores and the puss and corruption
out of the sores gets stuck in their garment.
When I was a kid we used to have boils and styes. I’d wake
up in the morning and the stye would be running at night, and I can still
remember the horror of waking up and not being able to get my eyes open and my
mother would have to take a hot washcloth and wipe that corruption off my eyelids.
I can remember having boils on my legs, and as a kid you’d
go out and play and the boil would burst and the oozing puss would run out and get
in your blue jeans and then you try to take those things off and have to peel them
off your skin. You had to sit down in the bath tub just to loosen your clothes
off of you.
Well, these people are going to have that kind of thing all
over them! They took the mark of the beast and now God plagues them with the
plague of leprosy.
They take the mark of the beast and God’s wrath falls on
them and He hits them with disease--this ulcerous, cankerous, corrupting,
flesh-consuming leprosy. This spot, this sore that comes on them, and they walk
around with this putrefying mess on them all the time.
Now I don’t know where they’ll think they got it from. Knowing
how the world is and how the world sees those kinds of problems when they come
along, they’ll probably blame it on the remnant of Israel.
They’ll say, “They’re the carriers! They don’t have it and
we’ve got it. Everybody in the land is botched with this stuff except them—you must
be the guys carrying it. You’ve got the bug; let’s war!” All that kind of stuff
becomes ways the Antichrist will turn people on the “believing remnant” in
Israel.
Revelation 16: [3] And the second angel poured out
his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every
living soul died in the sea.
[4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood.
The sea is the Mediterranean as we’ve already seen it back
in Revelation 8. He poured out the blood there and that’s like Moses hath power
to turn the water to blood and so forth. So you’re still in this Egypt kind of
a plague thing.
Revelation 8: [8] And the second angel sounded, and
as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the
third part of the sea became blood;
[9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had
life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
[10] And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
[11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of
the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were
made bitter.
Some kind of meteoric kind of a heavenly body as a great
mountain falls down out of the sky and lands in the Mediterranean, and when it
does it exterminates them.
A third part of the creatures out there and their blood just
comes up and corrupts the sea out there and a third part of the shipping
industry is destroyed and it’s all just turned to blood and you’ve seen that
happen. You’ve seen fish being herded in the sea and the sharks come. You used
to watch the TV show “Sea Hunt.” This is going to be on a MASSIVE scale where a third part
. . .
Now, in Revelation 16 it’s not just a third part—it’s the
whole thing! The WHOLE sea is turned into—and I don’t know. The angel pours out
his vial so maybe there’s another celestial invasion of celestial bodies and
meteors like the great mountain there that come as fire out of the heavens and assaults the Mediterranean Sea.
