17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!” 18 Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth. 19 The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath. 20 And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled. 21 There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.

75 pounds.... I can only imagine how much damage that would cause.
Do not harden your heart towards God and curse Him. Turn to Him and He will save you. How often do we respond by walking away from God or cursing Him instead of turning to Him to help us in our troubles? We are in a period of grace right now. God is not mad at us. He has taken away all the sins of the world and made a way for everyone to have a relationship with Him. Not only that but He sent us His Holy Spirit to indwell every believer so we are not alone and we have the power to resist the devil and all of his schemes here on earth.
