In His right hand He was holding seven stars, and a sharp, double-edged sword was coming out of His mouth, and His face was shining like the sun at midday.

Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky upon the earth.

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the corners of the altar of gold that was before God say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: "Turn loose the four angels that are bound at the river Euphrates."
