Revelation 9:10

8 They had hair like women’s hair, and ^atheir teeth were like lions’ teeth.

9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was ^alike the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.

10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

11 And they had as king over them ^athe angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is¹ Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name² Apollyon.

12 ^aOne woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

Revelation 9:10

They had tails like unto scorpions - This may refer to the consequences of their victories. They infected the conquered with their pernicious doctrines.

Their power was to hurt men five months - The locusts make their principal ravages during the five summer months. But probably these may be prophetic months, as above, in Revelation 9:5 - 150 years.
