THE FIFTH TRUNPET (The 1st Woe) (last half) From this incident, we can see the abussos, the bottomless pit, is a place or condition which evil angles dread; a kind of spirit peni- tentiary or dungeon which existed thousands of years ago, Strongs concordance describing the bottomless pit says it is a: pit of immeasurable depth, a very deep gulf or chasm in the lower parts of the earth used as the common receptacle of the dead and especially asthe abode of demons. It is somewhere within this unlit dungeon a myriad of symbolic locusts willarise at the 5th Trumpet or 1st Woe.(Rev. 9:1-3) What are these locusts which torture mankind for 5 months? They are evil angels, devils of mindbending depravity, who were sentenced to the abyss long before the early era. At this very moment (Nov. 2013) they are still chained and completely immobilized within the blackness of the abyss, held there in total darkness awaiting the judgment of the Great Day. Here is proof of this astoundingfact. 2 peter 2: 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them unto chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judg- ment; Jude 1: 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in ever- lasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Yes, fallen angels are at this moment held captive in the abyss, the bottomless pit, fettered in a way we humans do not properly under stand, so the symbol of a chain is used to help us. At the 1st Woe, a mighty angel(star) will be divinely authorized to open the abyss, and out will pour thishost of devils like the smoke of a great furnace. (Rev. 9:1-5) The only people on earth who will be protected from their sadistic onslaught will bewho bear in their foreheads the Seal of the God of Israel. All others willbe tormented. Here is proof of this frightening fact. Revelation 9: 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, nei-ther any tree; but only those menwhich have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Without laboring the point, we will at this stage again respectfully remind you to seriously consider accepting God Seal, for fearful in deed will be the lot of those who reject it. References in this Woe to Abaddon, the king of the bottomless pit (verse 11), are covered later where the identity of this king who is ascend form the bottomless pit is considered.Revelation 9:12 brings us to the end of the 1st Woe (the 5th Trumpet). You will have noticed even though the scenes portrayed here are fear- some, divine protection is assured to those who have Gods Seal, espec- ially from the terrors of Abaddon the Destroyer from the Abyss..
