6th Trumpet – 2nd Woe – 4 Angels Released to Kill a Third of Mankind! – Revelation 9

12 One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
13 Then the 6th Angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
Release the 4 Angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 So the 4 Angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed–by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Altar appears 7 times in the Book of Revelation! The Altar is not on earth but in Heaven “before God” or “before the throne!” (Rev 9:13, Rev 8:3). The Altars in YHWH’s earthly temples made by men serve as a copy, shadow or pattern of God’s Altar in heaven next to His Throne. In Revelation we see the heavenly reality of the Tent of Meeting furnishings!

6th Trumpet 
Revelation 9:13  
Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,


7 Trumpets Opening Vision
Revelation 8:2-3, 5
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne…  5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.


5th Seal Revelation 6:9
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.


6th Trumpet – 2nd WoeNew Jerusalem
Revelation 11:1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there.


3rd Bowl of Wrath
Revelation 16:4-7
The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”


1 Kings 7:48
Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD’s temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;


Hebrews 9:4
which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. 


Exodus 30:2
It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high–its horns of one piece with it.

Exodus 30:10
Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering for the generations to come. It is most holy to the LORD.”

6th trumpet

The 4 Angels Appear 2 times in the Book of Revelation.
In there 1st appearance at Revelation 7:1-3, during the 6th Seal, they are told to “hold back the 4 winds…until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
In there 2nd appearance at Revelation 9:13-15, during the 6th Trumpet, the 4 Angels are “released to kill a third of mankind.”


6th Seal
Revelation 7:1-3 
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.


6th Trumpet
Revelation 9:13-15
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind

When is the Sealing of the 144,000 complete?
Revelation provides a clue in the 6th Seal at Revelation 7:1-3! 
The “4 Angels” “holding back the 4 winds” are told “not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
If we can determine when the 4 Angels are released, then we know the sealing of the 144,000 is complete or finished!

So when are the 4 Angels released?
In the 6th Trumpet at Revelation 9:13-15! 
So we know in the 6th Trumpet, the Sealing of the 144,000 is complete or finished!

6th Trumpet
Revelation 9:13-15
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

Summary of YHWH’s Plan of Attack & Destruction on Babylon.

YHWH dries up her waters to invade as the Medes overthrew ancient Babylon.
Babylons waters mean: Revelation 17:15 – “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.

➥ 6th Trumpet – Angels Released From Euphrates to dry up waters by Killing 1/3 of Mankind!
➥ 6th Bowl of Wrath – Rev 16:12-16, Bowl Poured out on Euphrates further drying up Babylon’s waters where YHWH kills ALL of Earth’s combined militaries!

7th Bowl of Wrath – Finally, at Rev 16:19, “God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.


Pattern / Waters

As the Medes diverted and dried up the Euphrates river to invade & destroy Ancient Babylon, YHWH again follows His pattern and dries up the great river Euphrates before the judgment and destruction of Babylon the Great in Revelation.
At Revelation 17:15, God reveals His interpretation of waters: “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. Drying up Babylon’s waters means removing or killing “peoples and multitudes and nations.”


6th Trumpet – Kill 1/3

In the 6th Trumpet, YHWH starts His attack, destruction and Judgment on Babylon by drying up her waters which “are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.” In the 6th Trumpet He is literally removing or killing the worlds population drying up the waters of Babylon.

Revelation 9:16
6th Trumpet
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.


6th Bowl – Kill Earth’s Combined Militaries

In the 6th Bowl of Wrath, YHWH drys up Babylon’s waters by removing or killing all of the earth’s combined militarizes at Armageddon!

Revelation 16:12
6th Bowl of Wrath – Euphrates /  Armageddon
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 

14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.


7th Bowl – All Cities on Earth Destroyed!

7th Bowl of Wrath – Rev 16:18, Babylon’s waters further dried up with “great earthquake” wherethe cities of the nations fell!

Revelation 16:18-19
18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell


7th Bowl – Babylon Drinks Cup of Wrath!

Finally, Babylon’s Judgment and destruction takes place in the 7th and final Bowl of Wrath at Revelation 16:19, “and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.”

Revelation 16:17, 19
7th Bowl of Wrath
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”…
19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the greatto make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

6th trumpet

In the 6th Trumpet, the “4 Angels” who are “released to kill 1/3 of Mankind” (Rev 9:15) do so by “3 Plagues” of “fire and smoke and sulfur” in Rev 9:18-19.
The only other place in the Bible where we see the same language of fire & smoke & sulfur is in God’s destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

Genesis 19:14-28
24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. 27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

6th trumpet

Joel 2
1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations.

3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; surely nothing shall escape them. 4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. 5 With a noise like chariots over mountaintops they leap, like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before them the people writhe in pain; all faces are drained of color. 7 They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; every one marches in formation, and they do not break ranks.

8 They do not push one another; every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down. 9 They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble; the sun and moon grow dark, and the stars diminish their brightness. 11 The Lord gives voice before His army, for His camp is very great; for strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; who can endure it?


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. And if one looks to the land, Behold, darkness and sorrow; and the light is darkened by the clouds.
