Revelation:9:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the fifth angel sounded ,
and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth :
and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit .
*
And he opened the bottomless pit ;
and there arose smoke out of the pit ,
like the smoke of a great furnace ;
and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit .
*
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth :
and to them was given power ,
as the scorpions of the earth have power .
*
And they were told not to harm the grass of the earth ,
nor any green thing ,
nor any tree ;
but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads .
*
And they were not permitted to kill them ,
but only to torment them for five months :
and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion ,
when he stings a man .
*
And in those days shall men seek death ,
and shall not find it ;
and shall desire to die ,
and death shall flee from them .
*
And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle ;
and on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold ,
and their faces were like the faces of men .
*
And they had hair like the hair of women ,
and their teeth were like the teeth of lions .
*
And they had breastplates ,
like breastplates of iron ;
and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots and horses rushing to battle .
*
And they had tails like scorpions ,
and stings ;
and in their tails they had the power to hurt men for five months .
*
And they had a king over them ,
the angel of the bottomless pit ,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon ,
but in the Greek tongue ,
Apollyon .
*
One woe is past ;
behold ,
there are two more woes yet to come .
