After the seals, trumpets, and warnings from angels, the saints are gathered to the Lord before the throne. The seven angels chosen for the task are given seven bowls of wrath and sent to pour them upon the earth. This is the wine press of God's wrath. The souls of the dwellers on the earth are so hardened that nothing will turn them. Their response to the judgments is to curse God. Revelation tells us of the insanity of living for the things of the world and rejecting the grace of God.
