Revelation
9
The
Fifth angel sounded his Trumpet,
And
I saw a Star that had fallen from the sky to the Earth.
THE
STAR WAS GIVEN THE KEY
TO
THE SHAFT OF THE ABYSS.
2
When he opened the Abyss,
Smoke
rose for it like the smoke from a Gigantic Furnace.
The
sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.
3
And out of the smoke
LOCUSTS
CAME DOWN UPON THE EARTH
AND
WERE GIVEN POWER
LIKE
THAT OF SCORPIONS OF THE EARTH.
4
They were told not to harm the grass of the Earth
Or
any plant or tree,
BUT
ONLY THOSE PEOPLE
WHO
DID NOT HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD
ON
THEIR FOREHEADS.
5
THEY WERE NOT GIVEN POWER TO KILL THEM,
BUT
ONLY TO TORTURE THEM FOR FIVE MONTHS.
And
the Agony they suffered
Was
like that of the sting of a Scorpion
When
it strikes a man.
6
DURING THOSE DAYS MEN WILL SEEK DEATH,
BUT
WILL NOT FIND IT;
THEY
WILL LONG TO DIE,
BUT
DEATH WILL ELUDE THEM.
7
The Locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.
On
their heads they wore something like crowns of gold,
And
their faces resembled human faces.
8
Their hair was like women's hair,
And
their teeth were like lions' teeth.
9
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron,
And
the sound of their wings
Was
like the thundering of many horses
And
chariots rushing into battle.
They
had tails and stings like Scorpions,
And
in their tails they had Power
To
Torment people for five months.
11
They had as king over them
THE
ANGEL OF THE ABYSS,
WHOSE
NAME IN HEBREW IS ABADDON,
AND
IN GREEK, APOLLYON.
12
THE FIRST WOE IS PAST;
Two
other Woes are yet to come.
13
The Sixth Angel blew his Trumpet,
AND
I HEARD A VOICE
COMING
FROM THE HORNS OF THE GOLDEN ALTAR
THAT
IS BEFORE GOD.
14
It said to the Sixth Angel who had the Trumpet,
'RELEASE
THE FOUR ANGELS
WHO
ARE BOUND IN THE GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES.'
15
And the Four Angels
WHO
HAD BEEN KEPT READY
FOR
THIS VERY HOUR AND DAY AND MONTH AND YEAR
WERE
RELEASED TO KILL A THIRD OF MANKIND.
16
The number of the mounted troops
Was
Two Hundred Million.
I
heard their number.
17
The horses and riders
I
saw in my Vision looked like this:
Their
breastplates were fiery red,
Dark
blue, and yellow as sulfur.
The
heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions,
And
out of their mouths came Fire, Smoke and Sulfur.
18
A THIRD OF MANKIND WAS KILLED
BY
THE THREE PLAGUES OF FIRE SMOKE AND SULFUR
THAT
CAME OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.
19
The Power of the horses
Was
in their mouths and in their tails;
For
their tails were like Snakes,
Having
heads with which they inflict injury.
20
THE REST OF MANKIND
THAT
WERE NOT KILLED BY THESE PLAGUES
STILL
DID NOT REPENT OF THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS;
THEY
DID NOT STOP WORSHIPING DEMONS,
AND
IDOLS OF GOLD,WOOD--
IDOLS
THAT CANNOT SEE OR HEAR OR WALK.
21
NOR DID THEY REPENT OF THEIR MURDERS,
THEIR
MAGIC ARTS,
THEIR
SEXUAL IMMORALITY OR THEIR THEFTS.
(Revelation
9)
Almighty
God brings His Retribution
On
Mankind who Refuse to Love the TRUTH.
Today,
the West, that was once Christian
Has
now Abandoned the Faith
And
has become Apostate.
What a
Terrible Price they will Pay for this Infidelity.
