3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

A. Immediately the second angel moves forward and pours his bowl on the sea.

B. Since the “earth” of the first bowl is described as the people who worship the beast, it is clear to me that each of these descriptions are not literal. We are not here discussing some great poison poured on the oceans.

C. Rather, the sea represents the sea of humanity. Some would argue that this would make this bowl similar to the first. True. Both of these plagues are against the same people. The same is true with the 10 plagues against Egypt. All 10 plagues were directed against the same people.

D. Every living creature died. All evil humanity, all those who worship the beast are harmed.
