'Pouring out the vials upon the earth, which contained the plagues,' in Revelation 16:1, signifies influx of the reformed into the church, or into people who study and receive the doctrine of justification by faith alone.

When people lie or speak falsely in the Bible, it represents the "falsity of faith" and the resulting "evil of faith." This is what happens when people form their ideas based on bad information and incorrect assumptions. This leads to wrong ways of thinking and evil.
