Rev.
9:1 And the fifth angel sounded,
and I saw
[1] a
star fall [a fallen angel]
[a.]
from
heaven [the
heavenlies:
the earth’s atmosphere]
[11.] unto
the earth: and
[2] to
him was given the key
[a.] of
the bottomless pit [the
abyss].
9:2
And
[3] he
opened the bottomless pit
[the abyss]; and
[4] there
arose a
[a.]
smoke out of the pit,
[b.]
as
the smoke of a great furnace; and
[5] the
sun and the air were darkened
[a.]
by
reason of the smoke of the pit.
A demonic army is released into the earth
9:3
And
[1] there came out of the smoke
[a.] locusts upon the earth: and
[2] unto
them was given power,
[a.]
as the scorpions of the earth have power.
9:4
And
[3] it
was commanded them that they should not hurt
[a.]
the grass of the earth [the
grass has re-grown from
Rev. 8:7],
[b.]
neither any green thing,
[c.]
neither any tree [the
remaining 2/3rd of the trees (c/p.
Rev. 8:7)];
[11.] but
only those men
[aa.] which
have not the seal of God in their foreheads
[only the 144,000 men of the twelve tribes of Israel are sealed
(Rev.
7:3-4); and only 12,000
of these are Jews from the Tribe of Judah].
9:5
And to them it was given
[1] that
they should not kill them,
[2] but
that they should be tormented five months: and
[a.]
their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion,
[b.]
when he striketh a man.
9:6
And in those days shall men
[1] seek
death, and
[2] shall
not find it; and shall
[3] desire
to die, and
[4] death
shall flee from them.
The
locusts described
9:7
And
[1] the
shapes of the locusts [were] like unto
[a.]
horses prepared unto battle; and
[2]
on their heads [were] as it were
[a.] crowns
like gold, and
[3] their
faces [were] as
[a.] the
faces of men.
9:8
And
[4] they
had hair as
[a.] the
hair of women, and
[5] their
teeth were as
[a.] [the
teeth] of lions.
9:9
And
[6] they
had breastplates, as it were
[a.] breastplates
of iron; and
[7] the
sound of their wings [was] as the
[a.] sound
of chariots of many horses
[11.]
running to battle.
9:10
And
[8] they
had tails like unto
[a.] scorpions,
and
[9] there
were stings
[a.] in
their tails: and
[10] their
power [was]
