[§275] Rev 16:17: The Father’s Voice Declares, “It Is Done”

Revelation 16:17: And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

The seven Vial Plagues of the Third Woe1 will reach their climactic end2 when the seventh angel pours out his vial into the air.3 Satan is called the prince of the power of the air.4 Therefore, a plague on the air5 is an attack on Satan's domain and his dominion.6 Satan's power in the air will end7 as Christ descends from heaven in glory through the airspace8 that Satan can no longer occupy or control.9 As the glory of Christ's Second Coming fills the air from the east,10 the darkness of Satan and his evil host will shrink from his presence.11 The air will also be filled with a righteous army of angels,12 called the kings of the east in Revelation 16:12.13

All evil spirits of devils must be eliminated from the earth as part of the earth's spiritual cleansing.14 This will occur during the seventh Vial Plague, after God the Father speaks from the throne15 out of the temple in heaven,16 saying: It is done.17 The words of the Father are the antitype18 for the Savior's final words of victory on the cross when he said, it is finished.19 After Christ spoke from the cross, there were convulsions and tempests that changed the entire topography of the American continent.20 Similarly, when the Father declares it is done,21 the topography of the entire earth will change as it returns to the paradisaical conditions that existed before the fall of Adam.22
