Revelation 9:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 9:17

15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a ^athird of mankind.

16 Now ^athe number of the army ^bof the horsemen was two hundred million; ^cI heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; ^aand the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

19 For¹ their power is in their mouth and in their tails; ^afor their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
