6In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men. 8They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions. 9They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months. 11They were ruled by a king, the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon,a and in Greek it is Apollyon.b
12The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
It’s interesting, that the men who want to escape torment believe that they will receive everlasting peace in death.
But wait, these afflicted men don’t have God’s mark! So if they could die they would go straight to hell and continue in the torment for eternity!
We don’t know what these demons will look like but John’s description is enough to “scare the bejesus out of me!” (Idiom)
These demons will swarm like the locusts did in Egypt during the time of Moses. No one without the mark of God will escape the swarm of demons!
“They (demons) we ruled by the angel of the abyss”,
Abaddon, (Hebrew name for devil)
Apollyon (Greek name for devil) Satan himself!
The first woe has passed!
But wait! Two more follow!
Woe to those without the mark!
Blessings, David
