THE SIXTH TRUMPET

 

12 THE FIRST WOE IS PAST;

Two Others are Yet To Come.

The Sixth Angel Sounded his Trumpet,

And I heard a Voice

Coming from the Four 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 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 Twice Ten Thousand.

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

And in their Tails;

For the Tails were like Snakes,

Having Heads with which they Inflict Injury.

20 THE REST OF MANKIND

Who were Not Killed by these Plagues

STILL DID NOT REPENT

OF THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS;

THEY DID NOT STOP

WORSHIPING THE DEMONS,

AND IDOLS OF GOLD, SILVER,

BRONZE, STONE AND 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 9:12-21, NIV)
