Revelation 9:1-12
THEN, THE FIFTH ANGEL (With The Fifth Trumpet Judgment Of GOD Almighty) SOUNDED (DURING The Seven Year Tribulation): AND I (John) SAW – A STAR, FALLEN FROM HEAVEN TO THE EARTH! TO HIM, WAS GIVEN – THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (The Shaft Of The Abyss – The Dark Pit Of WOE)! AND HE OPENED – THE BOTTOMLESS PIT; AND SMOKE AROSE OUT OF THE PIT – LIKE THE SMOKE OF A GREAT FURNACE! SO, THE SUN AND THE AIR – WERE DARKENED, BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE OF THE PIT!
THEN, OUT OF THE SMOKE – LOCUSTS CAME UPON THE EARTH! AND TO THEM (THESE Locusts) WAS GIVEN POWER (To Sting) – AS THE SCORPIONS OF THE EARTH HAVE POWER (To Sting)! THEY (THESE Locusts) WERE COMMANDED (By GOD Almighty) NOT TO HARM – THE GRASS OF THE EARTH, OR ANY GREEN THING, OR ANY TREE; BUT ONLY (TO HARM) THOSE MEN, WHO DO NOT HAVE – THE SEAL OF GOD (GOD Almighty) ON THEIR FOREHEADS (Read Revelation 7:1-8; One Hundred AND Forty-Four Thousand Of ALL The Tribes Of The Children Of Israel – WERE SEALED)! AND THEY (THESE Locusts) WERE NOT GIVEN AUTHORITY (By GOD Almighty) – TO KILL THEM; BUT, (ONLY) TO TORMENT THEM – FOR FIVE MONTHS (150 Jewish Calendar Days)! THEIR TORMENT (To Sting) WAS LIKE – THE TORMENT (To Sting) OF A SCORPION – WHEN IT STRIKES A MAN! IN THOSE DAYS, MEN WILL SEEK – DEATH, AND WILL NOT FIND IT; THEY WILL DESIRE TO DIE, AND DEATH WILL FLEE – FROM THEM!
THE SHAPE OF THE LOCUSTS – WAS LIKE, HORSES PREPARED FOR BATTLE! ON THEIR (THESE Locusts) HEADS – WERE CROWNS OF SOMETHING, LIKE GOLD; AND THEIR (THESE Locusts) FACES WERE LIKE – THE FACES OF MEN! THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD HAIR – LIKE WOMEN’S HAIR, AND THEIR (THESE Locusts) TEETH WERE LIKE – LIONS’ TEETH! AND THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD BREASTPLATES – LIKE, BREASTPLATES OF IRON; AND THE SOUND OF THEIR (THESE Locusts) WINGS – WAS LIKE, THE SOUND OF CHARIOTS, WITH MANY HORSES – RUNNING INTO BATTLE! THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD TAILS – LIKE SCORPIONS, AND THERE WERE STINGS – IN THEIR TAILS! THEIR (THESE Locusts) POWER WAS TO HURT MEN – FIVE MONTHS (150 Jewish Calendar Days)! AND THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD, AS KING OVER THEM – THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT; WHOSE NAME, IN HEBREW – IS ABADDON (Destruction, The Proper Name Given To The Minister Of Death AND Author Of Havoc On Earth, i.e., Satan Himself); BUT, IN GREEK, HE HAS THE NAME – APOLLYON (The Destroyer, i.e., Satan Himself)!
ONE WOE IS PAST! BEHOLD, STILL TWO MORE WOES ARE COMING – AFTER THESE THINGS!
Folks Notice, That John Did NOT Tell Us (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) – THE NUMBER OF LOCUSTS; John ONLY Tells Us, What THESE Locusts Mission IS, TO TORMENT MANKIND – FOR FIVE MONTHS (150 Jewish Calendar Days); YET, NOT TO KILL THEM!
Now, As Far As THESE Locusts, Just Look At How Much Detail John Gives Us – ABOUT THEM!
THE SHAPE OF THE LOCUSTS – WAS LIKE, HORSES PREPARED FOR BATTLE!
ON THEIR (THESE Locusts) HEADS – WERE CROWNS OF SOMETHING, LIKE GOLD!
THEIR (THESE Locusts) FACES WERE LIKE – THE FACES OF MEN!
THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD HAIR – LIKE WOMEN’S HAIR!
THEIR (THESE Locusts) TEETH WERE LIKE – LIONS’ TEETH!
THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD BREASTPLATES – LIKE, BREASTPLATES OF IRON!
THE SOUND OF THEIR (THESE Locusts) WINGS – WAS LIKE, THE SOUND OF CHARIOTS, WITH MANY HORSES – RUNNING INTO BATTLE!
THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD TAILS – LIKE SCORPIONS, AND THERE WERE STINGS – IN THEIR TAILS!
AND THEIR (THESE Locusts) POWER (THEIR Authority – Given By GOD Almighty) WAS TO HURT MEN (ONLY) – FIVE MONTHS (150 Jewish Calendar Days)!
AND THEY (THESE Locusts) HAD, AS KING OVER THEM – THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (Satan Himself)! WOW!
Now, Did YOU Notice; That, John Chose NOT To Outright Call, “THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT” – The Devil, OR Satan; BUT Instead, John Chose To Use, BOTH The Hebrew Word, “ABADDON”, AND The Greek Word, “APOLLYON”; Even Though, BOTH Words Were KNOWN To Mean – Satan Himself? Will THESE Two “Titles” Come Into Play (AGAIN) – DURING The Seven Year Tribulation? I Have NO Idea! BUT, I Can Tell YOU One Thing! I’m Sure Prayfully Thankful, That WE (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Will NOT Be HERE (IN Satan’s World) – DURING The Seven Year Tribulation, To Experience THIS EVENT Firsthand! Aren’t YOU?
Remember, The Being CAUGHT UP Together OCCURS, BEFORE The Seven Year Tribulation BEGINS; AND The Being CAUGHT UP Together – IS IMMINENT! I’M READY! ARE YOU? Amen.
