The Singing Bible Revelation chapter 9 country

9:1 And the fifth Messenger sounded, and I saw a star fall from Shamayim to the earth: and to Him was given the key of the bottomless pit (tehom; abyss). Rev 20:1
9:2 Kiv-Int-link.gifAnd he opened the bottomless pit (tehom; abyss); 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. Gen 19:28; Exodus 19:18; Joel 2:10 (abyss Luke 8:31, 2 Peter 2:4, and Jude 1:6)  
9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [Exodus 10:12-15
9:4 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 Elohim (אלהים) in their foreheads. Ezekiel 9:4
9:5  And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for chamishah chodashim(ה five months). Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.  Job 3:21
9:7  The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. Joel 2:4
9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions. Joel 1:6
9:9 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 battlefield. Joel 2:5
9:10 And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men chamishah chodashim (five months). Joel 2:6
9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the Messenger of the bottomless pit (tehom; abyss), whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon (Destruction; (אֲבַדּוֹן אבדּון), but in the Greek tongue has [his] name Apolluon (destroyer).

9:12 One woe is past; [and], Hinnei, there come two woes more hereafter.

9:13 And the sixth Messenger sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Elohim (אלהים),

9:14 Saying to the sixth Messenger which had the shofar, Loose the four Messengers which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Perat (פְּרָת)

9:15 And the four Messengers 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.

9:16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

9:17  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.

9:18 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.

9:19 For their power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails: for their tails are like to serpents, and have heads, and with them they do harm.

9:20  The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not make teshuvah (repentance) of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; [Psa 115:4-7; Psa 135:15-17; Isa 17:8]

9:21 And they did not make teshuvah (repentance) of their murders or their sorceries  (pharmakeuō)or their fornication or their thefts.

Isa 47:9, 12; Rev 18:23


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
