in revalations if you have read it we all know about the 7 seals/angels/churches/ etc...

1.2. Second bowl (16:3)

16:3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.

v3 - Blood is used to denote death, everything died in the sea compared with the trumpets in which only a third died, Rev 8:9. Note that in the Egyptian plagues it was literal blood. The two witnesses also have the power to turn the waters into blood, 11:6. See the similarity to the first plague on Egypt, Exo 7:17 ff., in which the Nile turns into blood. This also reminds us of the lake of blood from the winepress of God's wrath in Rev 14:19. Every living thing in the sea died compared with the second trumpet in which a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and third of the ships were destroyed (8:8-9).

if you look at a picture of the oil and how resembles blood you would know..

discuss...

link to a previous thread with a video in it talking about the oil spill and revalations 16:3

in Nigeria (where 50% of our oil comes from) there are constant oil spills of the same level as the one the gulf coast is experiencing. Life on those shores is completely destroyed over and over again. With little to no chance of coming back.
It is incredibly close minded and ignorant to compare one spill that gets international press because it happened in the U.S. to a biblical event of destruction. Educate yourself before flying to the bible because the news tells you
how bad something is. When the atrocities continue to happen in other places to the same degree but do not get attention drawn to them.

this.

i dont deny this because we may never no dont flame this is a good thought man

this.

Until millions of Christians are suddenly taken up into heaven, and you are either with them, or one of the poor people left on earth... these events in revelations will not happen.

obviously no realtion

144000 max. 12000 of each of the 12 israeli tribes. Revelation 7 4-8

And predictions will always find an event that matches more or less.

This may actually contribute to the idea of the bowl, I am sure it happens in even more places through the world. It may be possible that all together it is 1/3? Maybe. And. Oil, I am not sure of the details but isn't it from fossils which are old dead things, some may consider it blood

it's not blood.
