The Fifth Trumpet--the Bottomless Pit |
|
|
 |
|
Revelation 9:1
|
|
Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star
from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was
given to him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:2
|
|
He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went
up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air
were darkened by the smoke of the pit. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:3
|
|
Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the
earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:4
|
|
They were told not to hurt the grass of the
earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the
seal of God on their foreheads. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:5
|
|
And they were not permitted to kill anyone,
but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion
when it stings a man. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:6
|
|
And in those days men will seek death and will
not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:7
|
|
The appearance of the locusts was like horses
prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their
faces were like the faces of men. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:8
|
|
They had hair like the hair of women, and their
teeth were like the teeth of lions. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:9
|
|
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron;
and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing
to battle. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:10
|
|
They have tails like scorpions, and stings;
and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:11
|
|
They have as king over them, the angel of the
abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:12
|
|
The first woe is past; behold, two woes are
still coming after these things. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Sixth Trumpet--Army from the East |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:13
|
|
Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a
voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:14
|
|
one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
"Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:15
|
|
And the four angels, who had been prepared for
the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a
third of mankind. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:16
|
|
The number of the armies of the horsemen was
two hundred million; I heard the number of them. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:17
|
|
And this is how I saw in the vision the horses
and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of
hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:18
|
|
A third of mankind was killed by these three
plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their
mouths. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 9:19
|
|
For the power of the horses is in their mouths
and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with
them they do harm. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:20
|
|
The rest of mankind, who were not killed by
these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship
demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood,
which can neither see nor hear nor walk; |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:21
|
|
and they did not repent of their murders nor
of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts. |
