The indictment against Yahweh’s Wife and her Ultimate Redemption
 

REVELATION CHAPTER 9

 

 

 

1Then the fifth angel sounded NT:4537 salpizo (sal-pid'-zo); from NT:4536; with a reverberating blast: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless NT:12 abussos (ab'-us-sos); from NT:1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of NT:1037; depthless underworld pit NT:5421 phrear (freh'-ar); that is an abyss for a prison.

 

2 And he opened the bottomless pit NT:5421 phrear (freh'-ar); of uncertain derivation; made for holding water for a prison, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So, the sun and the air were darkened NT:4656 skotoo (skot-o'-o); from NT:4655; with obscurity to the point of blindness because of the smoke of the pit.

 

3 Then out of the smoke locusts NT:200 akris (ak-rece'); apparently from the same as NT:206; with a pointed top came upon the earth. And to them was given power NT:1849 exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah); from NT:1832; of delegated influence, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

 

4 They were commanded not to harm NT:91 adikeo (ad-ee-keh'-o); in an unjust way morally, socially, or physically the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal NT:4973 sphragis (sfrag-ece'); probably strengthened from NT:5420; stamped as a mark of secrecy and genuineness of Yahweh in NT:1909 > epi (ep-ee'); a place of rest on their foreheads.

 

5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

 

6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

 

7 The shape NT:3667 homoioma (hom-oy'-o-mah); from NT:3666; abstract resemblance of the locusts w NT:200 akris (ak-rece'); apparently from the same as NT:206; as pointed on top as like NT:3664 homoios (hom'-oy-os); from the base of NT:3674; in appearance or character of horses prepared NT:4171 polemos (pol'-em-os); for a single or series of encounters for battle. On their heads were crowned NT:4735 stephanos (stef'-an-os); with a twined wreathe as a badge of Royalty of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

 

8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.

 

9 And they had breastplates NT:2382 thorax (tho'-rax); like a corselet which is a defensive armor like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.

 

10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings NT:2759 kentron (ken'-tron); from kenteo (to prick); as a poisonous goad in their tails. Their power NT:1849 exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah); from NT:1832: from Jurisdictional authority was to hurt NT:91 adikeo (ad-ee-keh'-o); from NT:94; the treacherous wicked heathen of men five months.

 

11 And they had as king NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); basileus (bas-il-yooce'); who has the foundation of sovereign power over NT:1909 epi (ep-ee'); superimposition of them the angel NT:32 aggelos (ang'-el-os); who is a messenger of the bottomless pit, whose name NT:3686 onoma (on'-om-ah); with Authority and Character in Hebrew is Abaddon NT:3 Abaddon (ab-ad-dohn'); of Hebrew origin [OT:11]; -A destroying Angel, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon NT:623 Apolluon (ap-ol-loo'-ohn); who is Satan the Destroyer.

 

12 One woe NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief! is past. Behold NT:2400 idou (id-oo'); look and see!, still two more woes NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last griefs are coming after these things.

 

13 Then the sixth angel sounded NT:4537 salpizo (sal-pid'-zo); from NT:4536; with a reverberating blast: And I heard a voice NT:5456 phone (fo-nay'); to articulate a disclosure from the four horns of the golden altar NT:2379 thusiasterion (thoo-see-as-tay'-ree-on); where the sacrifices are made which is before Yahweh,

 

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river NT:4215 potamos (pot-am-os'); of running water, the Euphrates NT:2166 Euphrates (yoo-frat'-ace); that begins in eastern Turkey."

 

15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

 

16 Now the number NT:706 arithmos (ar-ith-mos'); from NT:142; reckoned in advance of the army of the horsemen NT:2461 hippikon (hip-pee-kon'); as a cavalry force was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

 

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision NT:3706 horasis (hor'-as-is); from NT:3708; while gazing at the inspired appearance of: those who sat on them had breastplates NT:2382 thorax (tho'-rax); as a corselet which is a defensive armor of fiery red, hyacinth blue NT:5191 huakinthinos (hoo-ak-in'-thee-nos); that is dark blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths NT:4750 stoma (stom'-a); which is the front edge of a weapon came NT:1607 ekporeuomai (ek-por-yoo'-om-ahee); from NT:1537 and NT:4198; as a discharge of fire, smoke, and brimstone NT:2303 theion (thi'-on); that is flashing sulfur.

 

18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed — by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone NT:2303 theion (thi'-on); that is flashing sulfur which came NT:1607 ekporeuomai (ek-por-yoo'-om-ahee); through discharging out of their mouths NT:4750 stoma (stom'-a); which is the front edge of a weapon.

 

19 For their power NT:1849 exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah); and privilege of superhuman delegated influence) is in their mouth NT:4750 stoma (stom'-a); which is the front edge of a weapon and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents NT:3789 ophis (of'-is); probably from NT:3700; through sharp mechanical vision, having heads; and with them they do harm NT:91 adikeo (ad-ee-keh'-o);; wrong morally, socially, and physically.

 

20 But the rest NT:3062 loipoy (loy-poy'); masculine plural of a derivative of NT:3007; who are not present of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent NT:3340 metanoeo (met-an-o-eh'-o); or reconsider with a feeling of moral compunction of the works of their hands NT:5495 cheir (khire); which is an instrument of power, that they should not worship NT:4352 proskuneo (pros-koo-neh'-o); or prostrate in homage to demons, and idols NT:1497 eidolon (i'-do-lon); from NT:1491; that is a heathen g-d of gold, silver NT:693 argureos (ar-goo'-reh-os); from NT:696; that include currency, brass NT:5470 chalkeos (khal'-keh-os); from NT:5475; or coins of copper, stone NT:3035 lithinos (lith-ee'-nos); from NT:3037; that is a stumbling of offense, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

 

21 And they did not repent NT:3340 metanoeo (met-an-o-eh'-o); or reconsider with a feeling of moral compunction of their murders or their sorceries NT:5332 pharmakeus (far-mak-yoos'); that comes from a drug that is a spell giving potion to a magician or their sexual NT:4202 porneia (por-ni'-ah); from NT:4203; acts as a harlot from idolatry which is unlawful lust with immorality or their thefts.
