And, out of the smoke, came forth, locusts, upon the earth; and there was given unto them licence, as the scorpions of the earth have licence. read more.
And it was bidden them that they should not injure the herbage of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, - but only the men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads. And it was given unto them, that they should not slay them, but that they should be tormented five months; and, the torture of them, was as of a scorpion's torture, whensoever it smiteth a man. And, in those days, shall men seek death, and in nowise shall find it, and shall covet to die, and death fleeth from them. And, the likenesses of the locusts, were like unto horses prepared for battle; and, upon their heads, as it were crowns, like unto gold, and, their faces, were as the faces of men, and, they had hair, as the hair of women, and, their teeth, were, as of lions, and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and, the sound of their wings, was as the sound of chariots of many horses, running into battle; and they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and, in their tails, is their licence to injure men five months. They have over them, as king, the messenger of the abyss, whose name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon "=Destroyer", and, in the Greek, he hath for name, Destroyer. The first, Woe, hath passed away, lo! there come, yet, two, Woes, after these things. And, the sixth messenger, sounded; and I heard one voice, from among the horns of the altar of gold which is before God, saying unto the sixth messenger, who was holding the trumpet - Loose the four messengers, who are bound at the great river Euphrates. And the four messengers were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should slay the third of men. And, the number of the armies of the horsemen, was twice ten thousand times ten thousand - I heard the number of them. And, thus, saw I the horses in the vision, - and them who were sitting upon them, having breastplates as of fire and hyacinth and brimstone; - and, the heads of the horses, were as heads of lions, and, out of their mouths, come forth fire and smoke and brimstone: by these three plagues, were slain, the third part of mankind, by reason of the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, that proceedeth out of their mouths; for, the licence of the horses, is, in their mouth, and in their tails, for, their tails, are like unto serpents, having heads, and, with them, they injure. And, the rest of mankind who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, - that they should not do homage unto the demons, nor unto the idols of gold and of silver and of copper and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; Neither repented they of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their lewdnesses, or of their thefts.

And I saw another, a mighty messenger, descending out of heaven, - arrayed with a cloud, and, the rainbow, was upon his head, and, his face, was as the sun, and, his feet, were as pillars of fire, and he was holding in his hand a little scroll, opened; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the land, and cried out with a loud voice, just as a lion, roareth. And, when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their own voices. read more.
And, when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven, saying - Seal up the things which the seven thunders have uttered, and do not write, them. And, the messenger, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his right hand unto heaven, and sware, by him that liveth unto the ages of ages, who created heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, and the sea, and the things that are therein,Delay, no longer, shall there be; but, in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, as soon as he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall have been completed the sacred secret of God as he told the good-news unto his own servants the prophets.

And, the seventh messenger, sounded; and there came to be loud voices in heaven, saying - The kingdom of the world, hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign unto the ages of ages. And, the twenty-four elders who, before God, do sit upon their thrones, fell down upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God, saying - We give thanks unto thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, Who is, and Who was; because thou hast taken thy great power, and hast become king. read more.
And, the nations, were angered; and thine anger, came, and the fit time of the dead, to be vindicated, and to give their reward unto thy servants the prophets, and unto the saints, and unto them who revere thy name - the small and the great, and to despoil them who were despoiling the earth. And the sanctuary of God which is in heaven, was opened, and the ark of his covenant in his sanctuary, appeared, and there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
