The answer is: The throne of the beast

Revelation 16:10 - The angel’s judgment on the throne of the beast caused darkness over his kingdom, resulting in people gnawing their tongues in torment.

In Revelation 16:10, we encounter an intriguing and rather graphic moment when the fifth angel demonstrates God’s wrath by pouring out a bowl directly onto the throne of the beast. This sets off a chain reaction of darkness that descends over the kingdom, thrusting its inhabitants into abject misery. You can almost picture it – a pitch-black environment where panic and despair take root.

This torment leads people to gnaw at their own tongues in anguish, which reflects a deeper fate of being unable to express their distress or seek relief. The imagery is striking; it paints a picture of self-inflicted suffering born out of that awful realization of despair. Talk about an innovation in how we understand "pain"; it's the ultimate irony—inflicting damage on oneself because of the anguish stemming from acknowledgement of deeper darkness.

Did you know that the “beast” in this scenario has long symbolized oppressive systems and tyranny in our world? Its throne signifies the corrupt authority leading humanity away from peace and towards chaos. This serves as a potent reminder; forces of suffering are not simply external; they often manifest through our choices and alignments. Understanding all this gives fullness to the warning embedded in the passage—a clarion call to examine our own allegiances in a world where darkness can subtly corrupt even the brightest ideals. Truly, amid the turmoil, there’s space for reflection and address toward a more compassionate path.
