Lessons from Revelation Chapter 9
And when the fifth angel sounded A star from heaven did fall And bottomless pit was opened And great smoke from the pit arose Out of smoke upon earth came locusts And they power like scorpions had But the plants and the grass they hurt not -Only those who had not seal of God For five months they were given power To torment those upon the earth In those days people death will seek Death will flee from them Scriptures says And the locusts were shaped like horses Horses that are prepare for war And their faces were like face of men And their hair was like hair of women And their teeth were like teeth of lions And they tails like the scorpions had There was sting in their tails also For five months they had power to hurt When the sixth angel trumpet sounded One third part of all people were killed By the fire, by smoke, by brimstone That came out of the mouths of “horses” And the rest of the people not killed yet By these plagues they repented still not Of their works of their hands, of idols They repented still not of their sin They repented still not of murders Nor of sorceries or their thefts And of sexual sin they also They repented not of fornication *** This was written to all us warn: One day grace upon earth will end And the earth will be judged with wrath But for now- there is grace, much grace! There is grace- God still offers mercy Just repent! From your sin turn now Come to Christ, place your face in Jesus And you’ll never face wrath of God Jesus tasted God’s wrath for us So you it do not have to face But if you His great grace despise One day for you there’ll be no hope
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts” Revelation 9:20-21
