Today I learned about
the second WOE that comes from the 6th trumpet when it is blown. “The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God.” It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” Revelation 9:13-14 God has established the time when He will kill off a third of mankind. The four angels that come from the river will not be alone. They will be bringing a great army to get the job done. “The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand, and the horses and riders had breastplates that were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur.” “The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.” I can’t even imagine what this looks like in my head. The closest I can think of is the dark army from The Lord of the Rings. Scripture says, “A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury." "The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood - idols that cannot see or hear or walk." "Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.” Revelation 9:13-21 It’s hard to imagine humans so resistant towards God, that losing a third of mankind did not shake them of their pride!
