Rv9

Does anyone else get freaked out when you read the book of Revelation?  If not, I don't think you are envisioning what you're reading!

Billowing from the abyss come freakish LOCUST that bite and sting!  They have gold crowns, faces like men, women's hair, teeth like lions, iron plated chests, huge wings and tails like scorpions WITH STINGERS!!!  And their job is to attack people to hurt them but not kill them.  In fact, people will want to die, but death will escape them.

And then....the rest of chapter 9.  Giant angels emerge and destroy 1/3rd of all humanity!  The description of these angels is even more freakish than that of the locust.  Are you reading this?

And what did the people do?  The text says, "they still did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons and things of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood".  Wow, wow, wow.

Read it here.

  1. those shaking their fists have survived to this point a marvelous display of God's wrath and their response is not to turn to this powerful God, but to curse Him and the horse He rode in on.
