` One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.` (Rev. 9: 12)
The 6th trumpet also signals great destruction and woe upon mankind.
`The 6th angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar
which is before God,....`
(Rev. 9: 13)
The voice is the Lord who is officiating at the `golden altar.` The `horns of the golden altar` represent where people would flee to when persecuted. These are the martyrs that are killed by the anti-Christ and his great army.
`saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
“Release the 4 angels who had been prepared
for the hour and day and month and year,
were released to kill a third of mankind.”
(Rev. 9: 14 & 15)
These demonic angels are situated in the Middle East at the river Euphrates. This is where the anti-Christ sets up his global government at Babylon on the river Euphrates.
`Now the number of the army of the horsemen
was two hundred million,
and I heard the number of them.`
(Rev. 9: 16)
The angels are released to go forth throughout the four corners of the earth and gather a great army, numbering 200 million. They tread down, crush and annihilate one third of mankind. Here is a description of this great army.
`And thus I saw horse in the vision: those who sat on them
had breastplates the colour of fiery red, hyacinth blue and sulphur yellow:
and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; (domination)
and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. (chemical warfare)
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.
For their power is in their mouth and in their tails;
for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with them they do harm.`
(Rev. 9: 17 – 19)
Even amid such horror, pain and torment the rest of mankind did not repent of their wickedness and worship of demons.
`But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues,
did not repent of the works of their hands,
so as to not worship demons...
and they did not repent of their murders,
or their sorceries, or their sexual immorality, or their thefts.`
(Rev. 9: 20 & 21)
