book of revelation chapter 9

 

The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 

And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.


The fifth trumpet prompts a personified star to fall from heaven

The star is given the key to the bottomless pit. 

After opening it, the smoke that rises out of the pit darkens the air and blocks the sunlight.
