Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:6 - In those days people will seek death, but will not be able to find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.

The Sixth Trumpet--Army from the East

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:13 - Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:14 - saying to the sixth angel, the one holding the trumpet, "Set free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:17 - Now this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, dark blue, and sulfurous yellow in color. The heads of the horses looked like lions' heads, and fire, smoke, and sulfur came out of their mouths.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:18 - A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, that is, by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:20 - The rest of humanity, who had not been killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood - idols that cannot see or hear or walk about.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:21 - Furthermore, they did not repent of their murders, of their magic spells, of their sexual immorality, or of their stealing.
