Revelation
9:13-21
Sounding
the Seven Trumpets | Sixth
Trumpet
-
9:13
The sixth angel sounded his
trumpet, and I heard a voice
coming from the horns of the
golden altar that is before God.
14
It said to the sixth angel who
had the trumpet,
"Release
the four angels who are bound at
the great river Euphrates."
15
And the four angels who had been
kept ready for this very hour and
day and month and year were
released to kill a third of
mankind.
16
The number of the mounted troops
was two hundred million. I heard
their number.
17
The horses and riders I saw in my
vision looked like this: Their
breastplates were fiery red, dark
blue, and yellow as sulfur.
The
heads of the horses resembled the
heads of lions, and out of their
mouths came fire, smoke and
sulfur.
18
A third of mankind was killed by
the three plagues of fire, smoke
and sulfur that came out of their
mouths.
19
The power of the horses was in
their mouths and in their tails;
for their tails were like snakes,
having heads with which they
inflict injury.
20
The rest of mankind that were not
killed by these plagues still did
not repent of the work of their
hands; they did not stop
worshiping demons, and idols of
gold, silver, bronze, stone and
wood—idols that cannot see
or hear or walk.
21
Nor did they repent of their
murders, their magic arts, their
sexual immorality or their
thefts.
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is
meant to change the way that we
think, and the way that we live.
Commentary
by Bob
Pardue
The
Sixth Trumpet of
Revelation
This
passage along with Revelation
6:7,8 shows that over half the
population of the earth will be
killed by God's judgment.
Even with
this horrendous destruction,
complete annihilation of the
human race is spared.
This is not
meant to scare anyone. Well, yes
it is!!
It's time
to wake up and ask, no beg God to
forgive us and save us from this
terrible fate.
If you are
a Christian, you have nothing to
fear although we all dread the
day of this type of destruction
and death.
If you are
not a Christian, please read
below my signature and learn how
you can accept Christ who is the
only one that will be able to
stand in our place.
Not because
we are worthy, but because God
gives mercy to those who
ask.
Love in
Christ

If you have
never made the commitment to
receive the love and
life-changing experience of Jesus
Christ, please take a moment to
go
here
and take the first
steps
to salvation.
