The Second and Third Bowl Judgments:
The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You are just in these judgments, O Holy One,
You who are and who were;
for they have shed the blood of your saints and your prophets,
And you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”
And I heard the altar respond:
“Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I combined the second and third bowls, because they are similar and are severing the same purpose. At the pouring out of the second bowl, the reference to the sea, would be referring to all of the oceans on the earth being turned into literal blood, killing every creature in the sea. Remember that at the sounding of the sixth trumpet a third of the creatures in the oceans will have been killed by that huge mountain all ablaze hitting in one of the oceans. Now here at the pouring out of the second bowl, the result will be all of the creatures in the oceans dying.
Following that at the pouring out of the third bowl, all of the rivers and springs of water, representing all fresh water on the earth, is also turned into literal blood. This is reminiscent of when Moses, through God, turned the Nile into blood and not only the water in the Nile, but it also states that even the water that they had stored in vessels of wood and stone was turned into blood. So their stored water was also turned to blood so that they had no water to drink. It will be the same here at the second and third bowls, except God will be turning all the water on the earth into blood. I believe that will include all of the stored bottled water on the entire planet as well.
I believe that with the second and third bowl judgments taking place, God is going to be removing all drinkable water from the earth. First He turns the oceans into blood. I believe the reason for this is because, if God just turned the rivers and fresh water into blood, because of the technology of today, the world would turn to desalination of the oceans to get drinking water. Therefore, he turns both the salt water and all fresh drinking water into literal blood.
In support of this being literal blood, it is the statement of the angel who has charge over the waters whose response is as follows:
“For they have shed the blood of your saints and your prophets, And you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”
Therefore, since the inhabitants of the earth will have shed the literal blood of the saints and prophets, then God will be giving them literal blood to drink.
