The Trumpet Judgments: Plagues and Woes

Revelation 8:6-9:21
6And the seven angels who have the seven trumpets prepared themselves so that they might sound a trumpet. 7And the first one sounded a trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood came into being and was thrown toward the earth; the third of the earth was burned, the third of the trees was burned, and all green grass was burned. 8And the second angel sounded a trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood. 9And the third of the creatures in the sea that have souls died, and the third of the ships were destroyed. 10And the third angel sounded a trumpet, and a great star burning like a lamp fell out from heaven and fell upon the third of the rivers and upon the springs of the waters. 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood; the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the humans died from the waters because they had been made bitter. 12And the fourth angel sounded a trumpet, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck so that a third of them might be darkened; the day did not shine for a third of it, and likewise the night. 13And I saw and heard one eagle flying in midair, saying with a loud voice, 'Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound a trumpet!'
Chapter 9
1And the fifth angel sounded a trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen out from heaven toward the earth, and the key of the shaft of the abyss was given to it. 2And it opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke ascended out from the shaft like smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened out from the smoke of the shaft. 3And from the smoke locusts came out toward the earth, and authority was given to them like the authority that scorpions of the earth have. 4And it was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, except the humans who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5And it was given to them that they should not kill them but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a human. 6And in those days the humans will seek death and will not find it, and they will long to die, and death flees from them. 7And the likenesses of the locusts were like horses prepared toward war, and on their heads were something like crowns like gold, and their faces were like faces of humans. 8And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9And they had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse chariots running toward war. 10And they have tails like scorpions and stings, and in their tails is their authority to harm humans for five months. 11They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. 12The one woe has gone away; behold, two woes are still coming after these things. 13And the sixth angel sounded a trumpet, and I heard one voice from the horns of the golden altar before God. 14Saying to the sixth angel who has the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound upon the great river Euphrates.' 15And the four angels who had been prepared toward the hour and day and month and year were loosed so that they might kill the third of the humans. 16And the number of the troops of the cavalry was two myriads of myriads; I heard their number. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision and those sitting upon them having breastplates fiery and dark blue and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like heads of lions, and out from their mouths comes fire and smoke and sulfur. 18From these three plagues the third of the humans was killed out from the fire and the smoke and the sulfur coming out from their mouths. 19For the authority of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like snakes, having heads, and with them they harm. 20And the rest of the humans who were not killed in these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands so that they might not worship the demons and the idols—the gold and the silver and the bronze and the stone and the wooden—which are not able to see or to hear or to walk. 21And they did not repent out from their murders nor out from their potions nor out from their sexual sin nor out from their thefts.
