1. When the third vial of Revelation is poured out, the following plague will strike the world: «And the third angel poured out his vial on the and fountains of . And they became .»

2. The seven vials of Revelation are a set of divine judgments striking the same targets as the seven trumpets of Revelation. However, the extent of the vials’ impact is far greater than that of the trumpets. Indeed, whereas the third vial strikes all the fountains of water, the third trumpet struck only...
   ... a third of the fountains of water.
   ... a fourth of the fountains of water.
   ... a fifth of the fountains of water.
   ... a tenth of the fountains of water.

3. From the opening scene of the seven vials of Revelation, to the third vial, the action moves from one place to another, following this itinerary: the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the fountains of water. This sequence is not the result of coincidence. Its purpose is to remind us of the following messages (check off all the right answers):
   We must return to our Creator, and keep His day of rest, the Sabbath.
   Keeping the law of God is not mandatory for Christians.
   God will save everybody, repentant or not, because He is Love.
   The hour of God’s judgment has now come.

4. What is the reason for the pouring out of the third vial of Revelation upon impenitent men?
   «They worshipped mammon.»
   «They spoke blasphemies against God.»
   «They called up the dead.»
   «They have shed the blood of saints and prophets.»

5. When the third vial is poured out, a voice coming out from the altar proclaims, «Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.» Now, the book of Revelation, a few chapters farther, explains this statement: «True and righteous are His judgments: for He has judged the great , which did corrupt the earth with her , and has avenged the of His at her hand.»

6. Which event will prompt the pouring out of the third vial of Revelation on the fountains of water?
   The apostasy of all the nations of the earth.
   The crowning of Babylon as the head of the whole world.
   The union of Church and State.
   The issue of a death decree against God’s people.

7. The seven vials of Revelation are judgments carried out on the basis of reciprocity, and the third vial is the most eloquent example of this reciprocity. Which one of the following biblical quotations best explains the principle of reciprocity?
   «You will know a tree by its fruits.»
   «An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.»
   «He who is not with Me is against Me.»
   «Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.»

8. The third vial of Revelation, just like the previous ones, also bears a symbolic message. Indeed, this vial punishes those who have rejected Jesus’ invitation, found in the Gospel according to John: «Whoever drinks of the water that I shall him shall never . But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into life.»

9. The book of Revelation reports that people prefer, as a spiritual beverage, the wine of Babylon rather than the source of living water that God offers them. This sad choice will be punished by the pouring out of the third vial. Now, according to the Word of God, what does the wine of Babylon symbolize?
   The persecution against God’s people.
   The intoxicating promise of gaining wealth and power.
   All the deceitful and false doctrines.
   Wine, literally.

10. Finally, the Bible confirms many times that the faithful believers will be protected by God, during the pouring out of the seven vials of Revelation. So, as stated in the book of the prophet Isaiah, God will deliver His people from the thirst caused by the third vial: «They shall not hunger nor ; neither shall the heat nor smite them: for He that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of shall He guide them.»
