Revelation 9:18
Compare all
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.

Revelation 9:18

By these three plagues (apo twn triwn plhgwn toutwn). Our "plague" or stroke from plhssw, as in Luke 10:30 and often in Rev. (Revelation 9:20; Revelation 11:6; Revelation 15:1, Revelation 15:6, Revelation 15:8; Revelation 16:9; Revelation 18:4, Revelation 18:8; Revelation 22:18). It is used in Exodus 11:1 ff. for the plagues in Egypt. The three plagues here are the fire, smoke, and brimstone which proceed from the mouths of the horses.

Was killed (apektanqhsan). First aorist passive indicative of apokteinw, to kill, third person plural, though to triton is neuter singular because a collective idea. See same form in verse Revelation 9:20.
