Revelation 9:1

Tormenting Locusts From The Abyss

¹ [When] the fifth angel sounded its trumpet, I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. And the key to the shaft leading to the deep pit [Note: This is thought to be the place where the devil and his demons live] was given to him. ² And the fallen star opened the shaft leading to the deep pit and smoke drifted up from the shaft like smoke from a huge furnace. And the sun and the sky were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.

Romans 10:7

"And [do not ask yourself], 'Who will go down into the deep hole?'" (in order to bring Christ up from the dead).

Do not allow anyone to deceive you in any way, for it will not occur until the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness becomes evident.

This man is doomed to be destroyed

2 Timothy 3:1-5

But you should know this: There will be terrible times in the last days [of the Christian age].
