Revelation 9 - Summary

The fifth trumpet releases locusts from the abyss with power to torment for five months those without God's seal - locusts resembling horses with human faces, women's hair, lions' teeth, iron breastplates, and scorpion tails, led by the angel Abaddon/Apollyon. The sixth trumpet releases four angels bound at the Euphrates, commanding a cavalry of 200 million with lion-headed horses breathing fire, smoke, and sulfur, killing a third of humanity. Despite these plagues, the surviving humanity does not repent of idolatry, murders, sorceries, sexual immorality, or thefts.
