Revelation 9:13-21
여섯째 천사가 나팔을 불었습니다. 나는 하나님 앞에 있는 금제단의 네 뿔에서 울려 나오는 음성을 들었습니다.
그것은 나팔을 가진 여섯째 천사에게 "큰 강 유프라테스에 매여 있는 네 천사를 풀어놓아 주어라" 하는 음성이었습니다.
그래서 그 네 천사가 풀려났습니다. 그들은 사람의 삼분의 일을 죽이기 위하여, 그 해, 그 달, 그 날, 그 때에 맞추어 예비된 이들입니다.내가 들은 바로는 그 천사들이 거느린 기마대의 수는 이억이나 된다는 것입니다.
나는 이러한 환상 가운데서 말들과 그 위에 탄 사람들을 보았는데, 사람들은 화홍색과 청색과 유황색 가슴막이를 둘렀고, 말들은 머리가 사자의 머리와 같으며, 입에서는 불과 연기와 유황을 내뿜고 있었습니다.
그 입에서 나오는 불과 연기와 유황, 이 세 가지 재앙으로 사람의 삼분의 일이 죽임을 당하였습니다.
그 말들의 힘은 입과 꼬리에 있는데, 꼬리는 뱀과 같고, 또 꼬리에 머리가 달려 있어서, 그 머리로 사람을 해쳤습니다.
이런 재앙에서 죽지 않고 살아 남은 사람이 자기 손으로 한 일들을 회개하지 않고, 오히려 귀신들에게나, 또는 보거나 듣거나 걸어 다니지 못하는, 금이나 은이나 구리나 돌이나 나무로 만든 우상들에게, 절하기를 그치지 않았습니다.그들은 또한 살인과 점치는 일과 음행과 도둑질을 회개하지 않았습니다.The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God.
It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
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.The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.
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.
A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.
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.
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.Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

True repentance means to fully turn around from the sins and to return to God. If we want to seek the mercy of God, then we have to repent the work of our hands, because all the things that our hands create were originated out of our sinful hearts. If we want to draw near to God and don't want our past sins to be remembered, we should no longer continue in our sinful path since this will blind our spiritual eyes, ears paralyze our senses. We have to really think about all aspects of our sins and truly pray that the Holy Spirit gives us a heart of repentance.
