Where is the beast's throne located when the fifth bowl is poured out?
When the fifth angel pours out his bowl, it is poured upon the seat of the throne of the beast, which is then located in Jerusalem. That bowl brings darkness upon the beast's kingdom, mirroring the darkness that fell on Egypt.
Les explains that the fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the seat of the throne of the beast, which is now in Jerusalem, and the beast's kingdom became full of darkness. This darkness comes because of what God will do with the planet in its orbit—it will lose the light of the sun or burn in its heat, resulting in total darkness. Les compares this to Egypt, where the darkness was so thick people could not see their hand in front of their face and gnawed their tongues for pain. Yet verse 11 shows this judgment did not produce repentance; instead, they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores and did not repent of their deeds.
