Revelation 9-1 billion people die!

The Sixth Trumpet

13Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God 14saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

17Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and brimstone. The heads of the horses were like heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and brimstone that proceeded from their mouths. 19For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes with heads to inflict harm.

20The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk. 21Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.

There are several different battles described in the end times, Battle of Gog and Magog and the Battle of Armageddon. 

In the Battle of Armageddon the Euphrates River is dried up and an army of 200 million come against Israel.

Is this scripture talking about the Battle of Armageddon? I’m not sure but what I’m sure of is 1 billion + people die. 

Also notice; “still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols”....”Furthermore, they did not repent”..

God was giving them the chance to repent! They didn’t grab onto His promise of Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Do you know someone who hasn’t repented yet? What are you doing about it? Start by praying for them! Ask God to soften their heart and to draw them close to Him.
