Revelation:9:13-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The sixth angel blew his trumpet ;
and I heard a single voice speaking from among the horns of the golden incense altar which is in the presence of God .
*
It said to the sixth angel –
the angel who had the trumpet , »
Set at liberty the four angels who are prisoners near the great river Euphrates .«
*
And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour ,
day ,
month ,
and year ,
were set at liberty ,
so that they might kill a third part of mankind .
*
The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions ;
I heard their number .
*
And this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision –
and of their riders .
The body-armour of the riders was red ,
blue and yellow ;
and the horses '
heads were shaped like the heads of lions ,
while from their mouths there came fire and smoke and sulphur .
*
By these three plagues a third part of mankind were destroyed –
by the fire and the smoke ,
and by the sulphur which came from their mouths .
*
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails ;
their tails being like serpents ,
and having heads ,
and it is with them that they inflict injury .
*
But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues ,
did not even then repent and leave the things they had made ,
so as to cease worshipping the demons ,
and the idols of gold and silver ,
bronze ,
stone ,
and wood ,
which can neither see nor hear ,
nor move .
*
Nor did they repent of their murders ,
their practice of magic ,
their fornication ,
or their thefts .
