Highlights Summary of Angel

➥ “Seized the Devil” & Locks him up!
➥ “Was given the Key” / “Having the Key”
➥ “Opened” / Closed (“Sealed & Shut”)
➥ “King” of the “Locusts”
➥ “Abaddon” – “Apollyon” – Destroyer
➥ Agents of YHWH or the Devil?

➥ “Seized the Devil” & Locks him up!
Before Jesus’ 1,000 year reign, the “angel of the bottomless pit” “seized the dragon…and bound him for a 1,000 years, and threw him into the pit (Greek word “abyssos”), and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the 1,000 years were ended.” Revelation 20:1-3

➥ “Was given the Key” / “Having the Key”
In the 5th Trumpet at Revelation 9:1, the “Angel of the Bottomless Pit” “WAS GIVEN the Key to the Bottomless Pit.” In Revelation 20, it says “I saw an Angel…HAVING the Key to the Bottomless Pit.” In the 1st appearance he was “GIVEN the Key” and in his 2nd appearance, he is described as “HAVING the Key.”

➥ “Opened” / Closed (“Sealed & Shut”)
In the 5th Trumpet he “opened” the “shaft” of the “Bottomless Pit” and in Revelation 20:1-3, “he seized the … devil … bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and SHUT it and SEALED it over him… until the thousand years were ended.”

➥ “King” of the “Locusts”
Revelation describes the “angel of the bottomless pit” as “King” of the Locusts” Revelation 9:11 says, “they have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit.”

➥ “Abaddon” – “Apollyon” – Destroyer
The Name of the “angel of the bottomless pit” is identified in the 5th Trumpet. “His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon” Rev 9:11. Abaddon and Apollyon means destroyer.

➥ Agents of YHWH or the Devil?
Satanic Lamestream Twistianity deceptively calls the “angel of the bottomless pit” & the “Locusts” demon agents of Satan. Here are 3 reasons why they are both the Good Guys:
1) Locusts target “sting” & “torment” only “those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” Revelation 9:4 KJV
2) Angel of the Bottomless Pit “seized the dragon…and bound him for a 1,000 years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him” Revelation 20:1-3. Obviously, he is a good guy!

3) All 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets & 7 Bowls of Wrath plagues & curses are initiated in Heaven around YHWH’s throne and directed at non repentant humans – Revelation 5; 8:1-6; 15:1-8. ALL plagues and curses come from YHWH. Absolutely nothing from the 7 Seal, Trumpets & Bowls are initiated by the Devil or his demons.

Locusts with Power of Scorpions to Sting 

Exodus 10:12, 14
And the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts will swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.” …they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.

 Unlike the Egyptian Plague, the Locusts in Trumpet 5…
…were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Revelation 9:4

 Revelation 9:5
They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

 Revelation 9:10
They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.

My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.'”

“Poison Serpents of the Dust” in the Song of Moses!
“The Blessings and The Curses” is recorded at Deuteronomy 28-32.
It is one of the earliest places where He has “made known the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9).”
These 5 Chapters are one of several amazing parallel prophecies to Revelation.
At the conclusion of “The Blessings and The Curses” is “The Song of Moses”
In Revelation 15:3 it says,
“They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.”

“Song of Moses”

Seal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & Trumpet 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 & Bowl 3, 6 & 7 Language Combined!

 22 For a fire is kindled by my anger, And shall burn to the lowest hell; it shall consume the earth with her increase (Trumpet 1), and set on fire the foundations of the mountains (Trumpet 2). 23 ‘I will heap disasters on them; I will spend my arrows (Seal 1) on them.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger (Seal 3 & 4), Devoured by pestilence (Seal 4)   and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts (Seal 4), with the poison of serpents of the dust (Trumpet 5 & 6). 25 The sword (Seal 2 & 4) shall destroy outside; there shall be terror within for the young man and virgin, the nursing child with the man of gray hairs…….
Deuteronomy 32: 22-25, 41-43 “Song of Moses” -sung at Revelation 15:3

 Job 20:12-29
12 “Though evil is sweet in his mouth, And he hides it under his tongue, 13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it, But still keeps it in his mouth, 14 Yet his food in his stomach turns sour; It becomes cobra venom within him. 15 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly. 16 He will suck the poison of cobras; the viper’s tongue will slay him. 17 He will not see the streams, The Rivers flowing with honey and cream. 18 He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down; from the proceeds of business he will get no enjoyment.

19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor, he has violently seized a house which he did not build. 20 “Because he knows no quietness in his heart, he will not save anything he desires. 21 Nothing is left for him to eat; therefore his well-being will not last. 22 In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; every hand of misery will come against him. 23 When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, and will rain it on him while he is eating. 24 He will flee from the iron weapon; a bronze bow will pierce him through.

25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him; 26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; it shall go ill with him who is left in his tent. 27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him. 28 The increase of his house will depart, and his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath. 29 This is the portion from God for a wicked man, the heritage appointed to him by God.”

Men will seek death and will not find it

 Jeremiah 8:1-3
1 “At that time,” says the Lord, “they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. 2 They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped.

They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth. 3 Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the Lord of hosts.

Description of the 4 Living Creatures

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.

7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS, AND IS, AND IS TO COME.”

 Ezekiel 41:17-26
17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: 19 the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.

20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary. 21 The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar three cubits high and two cubits square; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.” 23 Both the outer sanctuary and the Most Holy Place had double doors. 24 Each door had two leaves–two hinged leaves for each door.

25 And on the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.

Locusts Description – Lion’s Teeth & Horses

Isaiah 5:24-30
24 Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom will ascend like dust; because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them and stricken them, and the hills trembled.

Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still. 26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, and will whistle to them from the end of the earth; surely they shall come with speed, swiftly. 27 No one will be weary or stumble among them, No one will slumber or sleep; Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed, Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;

28 Whose arrows are sharp, And all their bows bent; Their horses‘ hooves will seem like flint, And their wheels like a whirlwind. 29 Their roaring will be like a lion, they will roar like young lions; yes, they will roar and lay hold of the prey; they will carry it away safely, and no one will deliver. 30 In that day they will roar against them like the roaring of the sea.

Numbers 23:24
24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, And lifts itself up like a lion; it shall not lie down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

3 “My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the goatherds. For the Lord of hosts will visit His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His royal horse in the battle. 4 From him comes the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together. 5 They shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle. They shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame. 

Job 39:19-25
19 “Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? 20 Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms. 22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; nor does he turn back from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and javelin. 24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. 25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ he smells the battle from afar, the thunder of captains and shouting.

 Jeremiah 8:15-16
15 “We looked for peace, but no good came; And for a time of health, and there was trouble! 16 The snorting of His horses was heard from Dan. The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His strong ones; for they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it.”
