What are the last seven judgments in Revelation 15 called in the King James Version?

In the King James Version, the final seven judgments introduced in Revelation 15 are called the vials, also referred to as the bowl judgments. The bowl imagery pictures a shallow soup bowl, indicating these judgments will be poured out suddenly and completely rather than dribbled out gradually.

Les explains that chapter 15 introduces the final seven judgments called the vials in the King James, or the bowl judgment. The reason they are called bowl judgments is the picture of a flat, shallow soup bowl as over against a narrow-necked Coke bottle. Pouring from a soup bowl is instantaneous, so these bowl judgments will not be dribbled out but will come as one quick strike upon the whole planet.
