Revelation 9:1-21 "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should
not kill them, but that they should be tormented five
months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion,
when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death,
and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death
shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like
unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as
it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces
of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had a king over them, which
is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
Apollyon. One woe is past; and, behold, there come two
woes more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded, and
I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which
is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour,
and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third
part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of
them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that
sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out
of their mouths.
