The Fifth Trumpet
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. Rev 8:10Rev 9:2Rom 10:72Ti 3:1-5Rev 1:18Luk 8:31Rev 17:8Rev 20:1 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. Jol 2:10Gen 19:28Jol 2:2Act 2:19Isa 14:31Jol 2:30Exo 10:21-23Exo 19:18
And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth. Jol 1:4Rev 9:5Deu 8:15Jol 2:251Ki 12:11Exo 10:4-15Jdg 7:12Rev 9:10-11 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. Ezk 9:4Rev 7:2-4Rev 14:1Exo 12:23Ezk 9:6Rev 6:6Rev 8:7Eph 4:30 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion. Rev 9:10Job 2:6Rev 9:3Dan 5:18-22Rev 13:5Rev 13:7Jhn 19:11Rev 11:7 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them. Jer 8:3Luk 23:30Rev 6:16Isa 2:19Hos 10:8Job 7:15-16Job 3:20-222Sa 1:9
And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men. Dan 7:8Nam 3:17Dan 7:4Jol 2:4-5 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions. Jol 1:61Co 11:14-151Pe 3:31Ti 2:92Ki 9:30Isa 3:24Psa 57:4 They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. Jol 2:5-8Job 39:25Job 40:18Nam 2:4-5Rev 9:17Isa 9:5Job 41:23-30 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months. Rev 9:5Rev 9:3Rev 9:19 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, 1 and in Greek it is Apollyon. 2 Job 26:6Rev 9:1-22Co 4:4Eph 2:2Jhn 14:30Jhn 16:11Jhn 8:441Jn 4:4
The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow. Rev 11:14Rev 8:13Rev 9:13-21
The Sixth Trumpet
Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God Rev 8:3-5Exo 30:2-3Heb 10:21Heb 9:24Rev 9:1 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” Rev 16:122Sa 8:3Gen 2:14Rev 9:15Jer 51:63Rev 7:1Rev 8:6Rev 8:2
So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. Rev 9:18Rev 8:7Rev 8:9Rev 8:11-12Rev 9:10Rev 9:5 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number. Rev 7:4Dan 7:10Psa 68:17Ezk 38:4Dan 11:40Rev 5:11Ezk 23:6
Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. Rev 9:181Ch 12:8Rev 14:10Rev 21:8Rev 19:20Gen 19:24Isa 30:33Isa 5:28-29 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths. Rev 9:17Rev 9:15 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm. Isa 9:15Rev 9:10Eph 4:14
Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk. Dan 5:23Deu 31:291Ti 4:1Rom 1:21-23Act 19:26Jer 1:16Rev 9:211Co 10:20-21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft. Rev 21:82Co 12:21Rev 17:5Rev 22:15Rev 17:2Isa 47:9Rev 18:23-24Rev 18:3
