Question

How does the bowl prelude (Rev 15:1-8) establish a Day of Atonement typology? How do the seven bowls compare systematically with the seven trumpets — shared target domains and escalation from 1/3 to total? What does the seventh bowl's gegonen ("It is done") declare? How does Rev 16:15 and the Armageddon gathering establish the bowls as pre-advent events?
