The Fifth Trumpet: Demonic Locusts Released

1

And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

2

and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

3

And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

4

and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but--the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

5

and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

6

and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

7

And the likenesses of the locusts are like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

8

and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as those of lions,

9

and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings is as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

10

and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority is to injure men five months;

11

and they have over them a king--the messenger of the abyss--a name is to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

12

The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
