In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 9:1-12The fifth trumpet: locusts
About Revelation 9At the fifth trumpet a star falls from heaven, and "to him was given the key of the bottomless pit"; locusts come out to torment "only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads," so that "men seek death, and shall not find it." Their king "is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." At the sixth trumpet four angels bound "in the great river Euphrates" are loosed, an army of "two hundred thousand thousand" kills a third of men, and yet the rest "repented not of the works of their hands."
