Revelation:9:1-12

Seeker Overlay ON

* Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet , and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth ; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit . * And he opened the bottomless pit , and out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace . And the sun and the air grew dark , because of the smoke out of the pit . * And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth ; they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth .. * They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth , nor any plant , nor any tree , but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads . * Yet they were not permitted to kill them , but only to torture them for five months . Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion , when it stings a man . * In those days men will seek death , and will not find it ; they will long to die , but death ever flees from them . * The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle . On their heads there was something like crowns of gold , and their faces were like mens faces , * and they had hair like the hair of women , and their teeth were like lions teeth , * and they had breastplates something like breastplates of iron ; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots , of many horses rushing into battle . * And they have tails like scorpions , and stings , and their power to torture men five months was in their tails . * They have a king over them , the angel of the bottomless pit . His name in Hebrew is Abaddon ; in Greek he is called Apollyon . * "The first woe has passed ; and still there are two woes to follow ."
