Revelation 9:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 9:14

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

Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates

13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the ^agolden altar which is before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound ^aat the great river Euphrates.”

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.

20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, ^adid not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship ^bdemons, ^cand idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

21 And they did not repent of their murders ^aor their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
