The first four resulted in catastrophic destruction to trees and grasses, the seas, fresh waters, and even natural light. Chapter 8 described the last seal, which inaugurated the trumpets. John's Revelation from Jesus has shown God's judgment on the earth, first symbolized as the opening of seven seals, and now as the blowing of seven trumpets. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm. 18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 17 And this is how I saw in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of brimstone and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions and out of their mouths *came fire and smoke and brimstone.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million I heard the number of them. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.ġ3 Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.' 15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 12 One woe is past and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.ġ3 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
