Revelations 9: The fifth and sixth Angels trumpeted and unleashed new series of calamities. First, men and women who lack the seal of God on their foreheads were ordered to be tortured for five months, to feel the pain like a scorpion sting. When this happens, people would prefer death to torture, look for ways to kill themselves. After this, the Four Angels confined at the great River Euphrates were untied and let loose. They were all prepared for the exact year, month, day, and even hour when they were to kill a third of the human race. Sadly though, "The remaining men and women who weren’t killed by these weapons went on their merry way—didn’t change their way of life, didn’t quit worshiping demons, didn’t quit centering their lives around lumps of gold and silver and brass, hunks of stone and wood that couldn’t see or hear or move. There wasn’t a sign of a change of heart. They plunged right on in their murderous, occult, promiscuous, and thieving ways."
Revelations 10: In this chapter, John sees two angels: 1.) a powerful Angel coming down out of Heaven wrapped in a cloud. There was a rainbow over his head, his face was sun-radiant, his legs pillars of fire; 2.) the seventh Angel blew his trumpet, the Mystery of God - all the plans he had revealed to his servants would be completed.
