Rev 16 discusses the seven "bowls of God's wrath" that are poured out onto creation. An angel says to God after the third bowl, "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged... Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments ". After the seventh judgment bowl was poured out, there was another voice that announced "It is finished" and there was immediately thunder, lightning, and a tremendous earthquake. Reminds me of when Jesus was at the end of His life and announced the same while he was on the cross ( "It is finished") and an earthquake followed immediately. Both events mark historically a beginning and and end to life as we know it and have absolute and eternal consequences both physically and spiritually for all of mankind.
