10) And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11) And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12) And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings
of the east might be prepared.
13) And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of
the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of
the false prophet.
14) For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keeps
his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16) And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
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.
18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a
great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so
mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of
the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to
give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
20) And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21) And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent (in New Testament times, that is the current equivalent of 58.9 kg or 129 lb, 14 oz.).: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. King

COMMENTARY
Keeping in mind that the whole world is being hit with the hottest, brightest sun ever, there is no escape from the heat. (Obviously, a certain former Vice-Presidential candidate has read and understood the Book of Revelation.) Satan's temple throne is where the darkness begins and spreads to his entire royal city. He and his administration is plunged into darkness with no reprieve.
People everywhere is cursing God for their discomfort. They have rights, after all! They are prideful, deciding they can take care of themselves and don't need God for anything. But He is a holy and just God. Satan is powerless against Him, but still those who worship Satan can't see that fact.
There is no doubt that Babylon's power supply will depend on The Euphrates River. This river will be the source of its (treated) drinking water and other personal uses, but also it's cooling water for generating plants; water for air-conditioning systems and industrial processes, and for a multitude of other essential operations. So, the river will dry up. The snow cap on Mount Ararat which feeds the Euphrates River will melt permanently due to all of the plagues that have been poured out on the earth. It may be this time when Noah's Ark will finally been located, a testimony of God's truth and His sovereign judgment.
Unclean spirits will have so much control over people's minds. They will use their strength and intellect, even perform miracles, to persuade kings and presidents to go to war. see Joel 3: 9 - 12.
As the world is preparing to go to war against God at Armageddon, God sends a special word of encouragement to those Believers who remain on earth. He has been protecting and caring for them and wants them to know He will take care of them through the coming war. Speaking of which, the war will probably be waged via horseback, on camels, and other animals since the waterways are obviously not available for the transportation of arms and vehicles.
Understand this: Jerusalem will be invaded and half of the city will be taken captive. Zechariah 12: 2, Isaiah 10: 28 - 31. But then, God shows up: Zechariah 14: 3.
The hail is actually stone or other material that weighs at least a hundred pounds each. The greatest earthquake, erupting volcanoes, comets and other heavenly bodies, the International space station, satellites, etc. there are many things to fall upon the earth and they will especially fall on those gathered at Armageddon to fight God.
Then the final earthquake. The topography of the earth will finally be as it was in the antediluvian world (before the great flood). Mountains will fall and valleys will rise.
Jerusalem will be divided into three parts and a great artesian spring will open up from Mount Zion and fill the Dead Sea and possibly the Mediterranean Sea with water....life-giving water. (Isaiah 40: 4 , 5)
