Revelation 9 — Context

15

And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.

16

And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.

17

And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.

18

And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.

19

For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.

20

And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

21

And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
