Revelation 9

5th Trumpet

¹And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth, and the star was given the keys of the pit (shaft) and the abyss. ²And he opened the shaft leading to the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft as from a large furnace, and the sun and the air were made dark by the smoke coming up out of the shaft. ³And locusts came out of the smoke into the land, and they were given authority like the authority of scorpions over the earth. ⁴But they were told not to harm the grass of the land, neither any herb or tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵But they were not given authority to kill them, but rather to torment them for five months, and their torment is like the torment of scorpions when they sting people. ⁶And in those days people will seek death, and they will not find it, and they will want to die very badly, but death will run away from them.

⁷And the locusts look like horses prepared for ward, and they have crowns on their heads the look like gold, and their faces are like human faces. ⁸And their hair is like women's hair, and their teach are like a lion's teeth, ⁹And they have breastplanes that look like iron, and the sound of their wings is like the sound of many chariots with horses running to war. ¹⁰And they have tails like those of scorpions and stingers, and en their tails is the authority to hurt people for five months. ¹¹Over them they have the the angel of the Abyss as king, whose name in Hebrew is Abbadon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon (Destroyer).

¹²The first woe has passed. Look! There are two more woes to come after this!

6th Trumpet

¹³And the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴Saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." ¹⁵And the four angels were released. They were prepared for the hour and day and month and year, so they could kill a third of population. ¹⁶And the number of their cavalry is countless (literally 20,000 X 10,000). I heard their number. ¹⁷And this is the way I saw the the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them. They had breastplates that were fiery, blue, and sulphurous yellow, and the horses' heads were like those of lions, and fire came out of their mouths, along with smoke and sulphur. ¹⁸As a result of these three plagues, one third of the people died, from the fire, smoke and sulphur that came out of their mouths. ¹⁹For the horses' authority was in their mouths, and in their tails, for their tails are like those of serpents, and they have heads and can hurt people with them.

²⁰And the remainder of the people who did not die in these plagues still did not repent of the deeds of their hands, so they might worship demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, things that can't see, hear or walk around. ²¹But they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorcery, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
