- 2 covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.
- 3 He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind;
- 4 he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire.
- 5 He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.

- Sermon – “Angels and Trumpets (Part 2)” – [Revelation 9:1-12 ESV]
- 1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
- 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
- 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.
- 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
- 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
- 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
- 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,
- 8 their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth;
- 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.
- 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.
- 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.
- 12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.
