How deep is the river of blood accompanying the hailstones?

The river of blood accompanying the hundred-pound hailstones will run as deep as the bridles and the horses’ bits. This imagery comes from the judgment at Armageddon, where the armies are packed into the valley of Megiddo and likened to grapes in a wine vat.

Les explains that the river of blood and water accompanying the hundred-pound hailstones will run as deep as the bridles and the horses’ bits. He connects this to the battle of Armageddon, where the armies of the world gather into the land of Israel, primarily packed into the valley of Megiddo. The destruction is likened to grapes in a wine vat, with the person walking in the vat being splattered with grape juice. God destroys these armies with that final bold judgment of hundred-pound hailstones, and then comes the accompanying river of blood and water.
