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 of the bottomless pit .
*
And he opened the bottomless pit ;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit ,
as the smoke of a great furnace ;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of 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 it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth ,
neither any green thing ,
neither any tree ;
but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads .
*
And to them it was given that they should not kill them ,
but that they should be tormented five months :
and their torment as the torment of a scorpion ,
when he striketh 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 shapes of the locusts like horses prepared for battle ;
and on their heads as it were crowns like gold ,
and their faces as the faces of men .
*
And they had hair as the hair of women ,
and their teeth were as of lions .
*
And they had breastplates ,
as it were breastplates of iron ;
and the sound of their wings as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle .
*
And they had tails like scorpions ,
and there were stings in their tails :
and their power to hurt men five months .
*
And they had a king over them ,
the angel of the bottomless pit ,
whose name in the Hebrew language Abaddon ,
but in the Greek language he hath name Apollyon . (

Apollyon :
that is to say ,
A destroyer (:

*
One woe is past ;,
behold ,
there come two woes more after this .
