This week there were a few earthquakes in the ring of fire. Tectonic plates moving and shifting caused the earth to quake and break. Northern Venezuela had an initial quake, and then a rebound quake. The damage caused to the city and community is devastating. This is only a glimpse of what the world will look like at the tribulation. During the seal judgments men are killing one another. People are in distress as food prices soar and many people are displaced. We saw that during the seal judgments two groups of people enter heaven, the martyrs under the altar, and the many nations and tribes who suffered through the condition of the world. The martyrs under the altar realized that they were tricked by the son of perdition and so they confessed Jesus. The nations and tribes heard the testimony of the two witnesses and they believed while they were suffering on the earth. They were collected in death by Death and stayed in Abraham’s bay until they were sent for. Now we come to the trumpet judgments and the earth itself becomes even more chaotic. The earth is groaning and travailing in agony until the time that the sons of the Elohim are revealed.
Paul says this:
Romans 8:18 G3049 For I consider G1063 G3754 that G3756 [6 are not G514 7worthy to be compared G3588 1the G3804 2sufferings G3588 3of the G3568 4present G2540 5time] G4314 to G3588 the G3195 [2about to be G1391 1glory] G601 uncovered G1519 unto G1473 us.
19 G3588 For the G1063 G603 earnest expectation G3588 of the G2937 creation G3588 [2the G602 3uncovering G3588 4of the G5207 5sons G3588 G2316 6of God G553 1awaits].
20 G3588 G1063 For G3153 to vanity G3588 the G2937 creation G5293 was submitted, G3756 not G1635 willingly, G235 but G1223 through G3588 the one G5293 submitting it, G1909 upon G1680 hope;
The creation was put under the subjection of moral depravity when the morally depraved one, Satanas, took control of the world. Why did this happen? Initially, the adam was the one in charge of the earth. He was to tend and keep the garden. But when he sinned, he was sent out to a land that was cursed with thorns and thistles, and he had to work the land by the sweat of his brow. This is the earth that we live on. The earth, the entire creation, awaits the uncovering apokalupsis, of the sons of the Elohim for its own healing. The creation was an unwilling participant of the adams sin. The creation was under subjection to moral depravity or purposelessness. The creation has a hope, the uncovering of the sons of the Elohim. When does that take place? On the Day of the Lord. That is when the sons of God are revealed from heaven.
Romans 8:21 G3754 that G2532 even G1473 [3itself G3588 1the G2937 2creation] G1659 shall be freed G575 from G3588 the G1397 slavery G3588 G5356 of corruption, G1519 unto G3588 the G1657 freedom G3588 of the G1391 glory G3588 of the G5043 children G3588 G2316 of God.
22 G1492 For we know G1063 G3754 that G3956 all G3588 the G2937 creation G4959 groans together, G2532 and G4944 suffers distress together, G891 as far as G3588 the G3568 present.
The creation will be freed from the bondage of corruption, ruin, destruction, and decay. The creation will have the same freedom and glory as the children of the Elohim, this is the hope of creation. Today all creation groans and moans jointly in travail. All creation feels this distress, all of it groans together. Think about this, Satanas takes over the creation, the earth and humanity, and all of creation, and all the sons of God, moan in suffering together. We all hate what we feel but we cannot fix it. The corruption is a spiritual problem not a physical one.
Romans 8:23 G3756 [2not G3440 3only that G1161 1And], G235 but G2532 also G1473 ourselves G3588 [2the G536 3first-fruit G3588 4of the G4151 5spirit G2192 1having], G2532 even G1473 we G1473 ourselves G1722 in G1438 ourselves G4727 moan, G5206 [2adoption G553 1awaiting] -- G3588 the G629 release by ransom G3588 G4983 of our body. G1473
We, the first fruits of the Holy Spirit who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, are still subject to the travailing along with the rest of creation. Now imagine how good we will all feel once we set the creation aright. We will be released by ransom and then we will free creation.
Romans 8:24 G3588 For in the G1063 G1680 hope G4982 we were delivered. G1680 But hope G1161 G991 being seen G3756 is not G1510.2.3 G1680 hope; G3739 for what G1063 G991 anyone sees, G5100 G5100 why G2532 also G1679 does he hope?
25 G1487 But if G1161 G3739 [2 for what G3756 3we do not G991 4see G1679 1we hope], G1223 [2by G5281 3endurance G553 1we await].
Today we have expectation for our ransoming and the correcting of creation. We eagerly expect with steadfastness. This is why there is a harpazo for those who confess Jesus as Lord. We suffer now, from the time we confess Jesus Messiah until we die. We cheerfully endure the suffering because we know what is ahead as overcomers.
Revelation 8:6 G2532 And G3588 the G2033 seven G32 angels, G3588 the ones G2192 having G3588 the G2033 seven G4536 trumpets, G2090 prepared G1438 themselves G2443 that G4537 they should trump.
7 G2532 And G3588 the G4413 first G4537 trumped, G2532 and G1096 came to pass G5464 hail G2532 and G4442 fire G3396 being mixed G1722 in G129 blood, G2532 and G906 was cast G1519 unto G3588 the G1093 earth; G2532 and G3588 the G5154 third G3588 of the G1093 earth G2618 was incinerated, G2532 and G3956 all G5528 [2grass G5515 1green] G2618 was incinerated.
This is a lot of destruction. Hail and fire mixed in blood. This means that the people on earth will be losing a lot of crops. If we think about a continent map flattened out we would see the Americas as one third, Africa north to Europe as a second third, and Asia and Australia as another third. The volume of one of those thirds will be incinerated. While the incinerated part will probably not be divided in that way, it gives us a visual of one third of the earth incinerated. Keep this visual in mind as we continue.
Revelation 8:8 G2532 And G3588 the G1208 second G32 angel G4537 trumped; G2532 and G5613 it was as G3735 [3mountain G3173 1a great G2545 2burning] G906 was cast G1519 into G3588 the G2281 sea; G2532 and G1096 [5became G3588 1the G5154 2third G3588 3of the G2281 4sea] G129 blood;
9 G2532 and G599 [8died G3588 1the G5154 2third G3588 3of the G2938 4creatures G1722 5in G3588 6the G2281 7sea], G3588 the ones G2192 having G5590 lives; G2532 and G3588 the G5154 third G3588 of the G4143 ships G1311 were utterly destroyed.
At the second trumpet one third of the sea becomes blood and one third of the ocean life dies and one third of the boats in the sea are destroyed. This tells us that there will be a great loss of seafood, and the ability to feed people from the sea.
Revelation 8:10 G2532 And G3588 the G5154 third G32 angel G4537 trumped; G2532 and G4098 [3fell G1537 4from out of G3588 5the G3772 6heaven G792 2star G3173 1a great], G2545 burning G5613 as G2985 a lamp, G2532 and G4098 it fell G1909 upon G3588 the G5154 third G3588 of the G4215 rivers, G2532 and G1909 upon G3588 the G4077 springs G3588 of the G5204 waters.
11 G2532 And G3588 the G3686 name G3588 of the G792 star G3004 is called G3588 G894 Absinthium; G2532 and G1096 [5became G3588 1the G5154 2third G3588 3of the G5204 4waters] G1519 into G894 absinthium, G2532 and G4183 many G3588 of the G444 men G599 died G1537 because of G3588 the G5204 waters, G3754 for G4087 they were made bitter.
Now we see that one third of the fresh water becomes unusable. Absinthium is artemisia absinthium, which is where absinthe is derived from. It is also called “the green fairy” as it is used in alcoholic beverages. It is Wormwood. It poisons the waters with its neurotoxin thujone. While small quantities are generally safe, as used in alcohol or medicines, larger quantities are toxic. Thujone can cause vomiting, tremors, seizures, delirium, kidney failure, and long term usage leads to a condition called absinthism, irreversible brain damage and psychosis. This means that there will be fatal poisoning and mass delirium for the people who drink this water.
Revelation 8:12 G2532 And G3588 the G5067 fourth G32 angel G4537 trumped, G2532 and G4141 [5was struck G3588 1the G5154 2third G3588 3of the G2246 4sun], G2532 and G3588 the G5154 third G3588 of the G4582 moon, G2532 and G3588 the G5154 third G3588 of the G792 stars; G2443 that G4654 [3should be darkened G3588 G5154 1a third G1473 2of them], G2532 and G3588 the G2250 day G3361 should not appear for G5316 G3588 G5154 a third G1473 of it, G2532 and G3588 the G3571 night G3668 in like manner.
Now there is darkness or partial darkness. The sun moon, and stars, were all created on the fourth day.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Instead of about eight hours of darkness and sixteen hours of light in the summer (depending where one lives) now things will change. “One third of the sun darkened” means that even when people should have sunlight, the sun will be dimmer, which would make it colder during the day. In the night sky people will not be able to travel by sea via constellations and stars, and there will be less visible light from the moon. There will be more darkness on the earth.
Revelation 8:13 G2532 And G1492 I saw G2532 and G191 heard G1520 one G105 eagle G4072 flying G1722 in G3321 mid-heaven, G3004 saying G5456 [2voice G3173 1with a great], G3759 Woe, G3759 woe G3759 woe, G3588 to the ones G2730 dwelling G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth, G1537 because of G3588 the G3062 remaining G5456 sounds G3588 of the G4536 trumpet G3588 of the G5140 three G32 angels, G3588 of the ones G3195 being about G4537 to trump.
The eagle says “woe” three times, three is the number of completion. By now the only way out of the tribulation is to go through it. Death looks good at this point but death is elusive.
Revelation 9:1 G2532 And G3588 the G3991 fifth G32 angel G4537 trumped; G2532 and G1492 I saw G792 a star G1537 [2from out of G3588 3the G3772 4heaven G4098 1falling] G1519 unto G3588 the G1093 earth; G2532 and G1325 was given G1473 to him G3588 the G2807 key G3588 of the G5421 well G3588 of the G12 abyss.
2 G2532 And G455 he opened G3588 the G5421 well G3588 of the G12 abyss, G2532 and G305 ascended G2586 smoke G1537 from out of G3588 the G5421 well, G5613 as G2586 smoke G2575 of a furnace G2545 burning. G2532 And G4654 [6were darkened G3588 1the G2246 2sun G2532 3and G3588 4the G109 5air] G1537 by G3588 the G2586 smoke G3588 of the G5421 well.
An angel is given the key to the pit of the abussos, bottomless pit, depthless, or abyss. When the angel opens the door, enough smoke comes out to darken the sun. Why is this bottomless pit under lock and key?
Revelation 9:3 G2532 And G1537 out of G3588 the G2586 smoke G1831 came forth G200 locusts G1519 unto G3588 the G1093 earth; G2532 and G1325 [2was given G1473 3to them G1849 1authority], G5613 as G2192 [5have G1849 6authority G3588 1the G4651 2scorpions G3588 3of the G1093 4earth].
4 G2532 And G4483 it was said G1473 to them G2443 that G3361 they should not G91 injure G3588 the G5528 grass G3588 of the G1093 earth, G3761 nor G3956 any G5515 green thing, G3761 nor G3956 any G1186 tree; G1508 except for G3588 the G444 men G3441 only, G3748 the ones who G3756 have not G2192 G3588 the G4973 seal G3588 G2316 of God G1909 upon G3588 G3359 their foreheads. G1473
We see that the sealed young virgin men who have never lied are spared from this torment. The locusts are going out with a mission to torment men for five months.
Revelation 9:5 G2532 And G1325 was given G1473 to them G2443 that G3361 they should not G615 kill G1473 them, G235 but G2443 that G928 they should be tormented G3376 [2months G4002 1five]; G2532 and G3588 G929 their torment G1473 G5613 was as G929 the torment G4651 of a scorpion, G3752 whenever G3817 it should smite G444 a man.
6 G2532 And G1722 in G3588 G2250 those days G1565 G2212 [2shall seek G3588 G444 1men] G3588 G2288 death, G2532 and G3766.2 in no way G2147 shall they find G1473 it; G2532 and G1937 they shall desire G599 to die, G2532 and G5343 [2shall flee G575 3from G1473 4them G3588 G2288 1death].
The people will look for death but they cannot find death. Where did Death and Hades go? Now people can’t find them. They will be hoping to die but cannot for five months.
Revelation 9:7 G2532 And G3588 the G3667 representations G3588 of the G200 locusts G3664 were likened G2462 to horses G2090 being prepared G1519 for G4171 war; G2532 and G1909 upon G3588 G2776 their heads G1473 G5613 as G4735 [2crowns G5552 1golden], G2532 and G3588 G4383 their faces G1473 G5613 as G4383 faces G444 of men.
8 G2532 And G2192 they had G2359 hair G5613 as G2359 hair G1135 of women, G2532 and G3588 G3599 their teeth G1473 G5613 [2as G3023 3lions G1510.7.6 1were].
9 G2532 And G2192 they had G2382 chest plates G5613 as G2382 chest plates G4603 of iron; G2532 and G3588 the G5456 sound G3588 G4420 of their wings G1473 G5613 was as G5456 the sound G716 [2chariots G2462 3of horses G4183 1of many] G5143 running G1519 to G4171 war.
10 G2532 And G2192 they have G3769 tails G3664 likened G4651 to scorpions, G2532 and G2759 stings, G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G3769 their tails G1473 G1849 [2authority G2192 1having] G3588 G91 to injure G3588 G444 men G3376 [2months G4002 1five].
These locusts are interesting creatures.
Revelation 9:11 G2192 They have G935 a king G1909 over G1473 them -- G32 the angel G3588 of the G12 abyss. G3686 His name G1473 G* in Hebrew G* is Abaddon, G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G* Greek G3686 [2 the name G2192 1he has] G3588 G* Apollyon.

The locusts have stingers on their tails, their king is the angel of the abyss. The locusts have a king. Abaddon is the destroyer. At the time of the captivity in Egypt, the Destroyer passed over the people who put the blood over the door lintel and the door posts. This destroyer is Abaddon or Apollyon. The king of the abyss is also the king of the locusts and he has another name.
Exodus 12:23 (AMP)

Hebrews reminds us of the Passover and the destroyer.
Hebrews 11:28 (AMP)
28 By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those [of the children of Israel].
Hebrews 11:28 G4102 By belief G4160 he observed G3588 the G3957 passover G2532 and G3588 the G4378 pouring G3588 of the G129 blood, G2443 lest G3361 G3588 the one G3645 annihilating G3588 the G4416 first-born G2345 should touch G1473 them.
Paul reminds us of those who murmured against Moses and Aaron, that they also were killed by the destroyer, Abaddon/Apollyon.
1 Corinthians 10:10 (AMP)

The King James version does a terrible job of translating this word, but the Amplified does it well.
Job 26:6 (AMP)
6 Sheol (the place of the dead) is naked before God, and Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes].
Job 28:22 (AMP)
22 Abaddon (the place of destruction) and Death say, We have [only] heard the report of it with our ears.
Job 31:12 (AMP)
12 For [uncontrolled passion] is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (to destruction, ruin, and the place of final torment); [that fire once lighted would rage until all is consumed] and would burn to the root all my [life's] increase.
Psalm 88:11 (AMP)
11 Shall Your steadfast love be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (Sheol, as a place of ruin and destruction)?
Proverbs 15:11 (AMP)
11 Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the final place of the accuser Satan) are both before the Lord—how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men?
Proverbs 27:20 (AMP)
20 Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the place of destruction) are never satisfied; so [the lust of] the eyes of man is never satisfied.
If we remember, angels have names that correspond to their functions. Abaddon is a place, an angel, and a star. But this angel known as the destroyer/Abaddon/Apollyon, has another name. Gog.
Amos 7:1 Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog. 2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. 3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus has the Lord shewed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord’s portion. 5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray thee: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this. 6 This also shall not be, saith the Lord.
Gog is the king of the locusts (as mentioned in the Book of Amos) and Gog is also a place. If we look at Gog with the understanding that Gog is the locust king, the same destroyer who either passed over or killed the first born in Egypt and who also killed those who murmured over Moses and Aaron, we will understand Ezekiel 38 and 39 much better.

Revelation 9:12 G3588 The G3759 [2woe G3588 G1520 1one] G565 went forth, G2400 behold, G2064 comes G2089 still G1417 two G3759 woes G3326 after G3778 these.
The first woe is the locusts tormenting people. The next two woes will be understood in the parenthetical section of Revelation 11 and 12.
Revelation 9:13 G2532 And G3588 the G1622 sixth G32 angel G4537 trumped; G2532 and G191 I heard G5456 [2voice G1520 1one] G1537 from G3588 the G5064 four G2768 horns G3588 of the G2379 [2altar G3588 G5552 1golden], G3588 of the one G1799 before G3588 G2316 God,

15 G2532 And G3089 [4were loosened G3588 1the G5064 2four G32 3angels], G3588 the ones G2090 being prepared G1519 for G3588 the G5610 hour, G2532 and G2250 day, G2532 and G3376 month, G2532 and G1763 year, G2443 that G615 they should kill G3588 the G5154 third G3588 G444 of men.
Four angels are bound and set loose to kill one third of the manfaced. Since they are bound over the Euphrates river, and we know where that is, we can see that the killings will predominantly be in that region, but not exclusively. Now manfaced can find death.
Assuming we are starting with about 8 billion people on the earth before the tribulation. At the time of the harpazo, 2.5 billion leave earth and are redeemed. There are 5.5 billion left, but one fourth, or 1.375 billion, die when Death and Hades ride out over the earth. Some of these are the people of the nations and tribes who show up in heaven. This leaves us 4.125 billion people on the earth who, since the trumpet judgments started, cannot find Death and cannot die. They have been tormented for five months. At the time of the sixth trumpet the four bound angels kill one third of the population of manfaced, which is 1.2375 billion people. That leaves 2.8875 billion on the earth. So once again anyone who claims that we are in the tribulation period, the seal judgments, or the bowl judgments, is incorrect as we do not see this large of a reduction in the population. Thousands of people may die in an incident and while that is a lot of people, it is nothing compared to one billion dying in one incident.
Four angels go out on horses and they have an army.
Revelation 9:16 G2532 And G3588 the G706 number G3588 of the G4753 military G3588 of the G2462 horses -- G3461 myriads G3461 of myriads; G2532 and G191 I heard G3588 G706 their number. G1473
17 G2532 And G3779 thus G1492 I saw G3588 the G2462 horses G1722 in G3588 the G3706 vision, G2532 and G3588 the ones G2521 sitting down G1909 upon G1473 them, G2192 having G2382 chest plates G4447 of fiery color, G2532 and G5191 of blue, G2532 and G2306 sulphurous; G2532 and G3588 the G2776 heads G3588 of the G2462 horses G5613 were as G2776 heads G3023 of lions, G2532 and G1537 out of G3588 G4750 their mouths G1473 G1607 went forth G4442 fire, G2532 and G2586 smoke, G2532 and G2303 sulphur.
Who are the ones sitting on the horses? They have chest plates or a corslet (a half armor) shining like fire, fiery, and deep blue or dark purple, hyacinthine, and sulphurous/sulfurous. Sulfur is bright yellow, but when it burns it turns deep red creating a bright blue flame. Sulfur also smells like rotten eggs when it burns. This is all we know about the riders. The horses have lion heads and they breathe fire and sulfur as well.
Revelation 9:18 G575 From G3588 G5140 [2three G4127 3plagues G3778 1these] G615 were killed G3588 the G5154 third G3588 G444 of men, G1537 by G3588 the G4442 fire, G2532 and G1537 by G3588 the G2586 smoke, G2532 and G3588 of the G2303 sulphur G3588 G1607 going forth G1537 out of G3588 G4750 their mouths. G1473
With these three calamities or wounds, the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, one third of manfaced dies.
Revelation 9:19 G3588 For the G1063 G1849 authority G3588 of the G2462 horses G1722 [2in G3588 G4750 3their mouth G1473 G1510.2.3 1is] G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G3769 their tails; G1473 G3588 G1063 for G3769 their tails G1473 G3664 are likened G3789 to serpents, G2192 having G2776 heads; G2532 and G1722 by G1473 them G91 they injure.
We still don’t know who the riders are but the horse tails are like snakes and they injure people. This is how one third of the population, 1.2375 billion people, die.
The angels may be part of the fallen angels that sinned. Enoch and Jasher were both well known at the time of the first century and prior. They both may give us insight here into these four angels and their military riders in the myriads myriads.
Enoch 6:1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl,
Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl. 8. These are their chiefs of tens.
The riders of the horses may be the disembodied spirits of the hybrid people created by the sin of the angels.
Jubilees X. And in the third week of this jubilee the unclean demons began to lead astray †the children of† the sons of Noah; and to make to err and destroy them. 2. And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they told him concerning the demons which were, leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons' sons. 3. And he prayed before the Lord his God, and said:
God of the spirits of all flesh, who hast shown mercy unto me,
And hast saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood,
And hast not caused me to perish as Thou didst the sons of perdition;
For Thy grace hath been great towards me,
And great hath been Thy mercy to my soul;
Let Thy grace be lift up upon my sons,
And let not wicked spirits rule over them
Lest they should destroy them from the earth.
4. But do Thou bless me and my sons, that we may increase and multiply and replenish the earth. 5. And Thou knowest how Thy Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day: and as for these spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of thy servant, my God; for these are malignant, and created in order to destroy. 6. And let them not rule over the spirits of the living; for Thou alone canst exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from henceforth and for evermore." 7. And the Lord our God bade us to bind all. 8. And the chief of the spirits, Mastêmâ, came and said: "Lord, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them hearken to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of my will on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and leading astray before my judgment, for great is the wickedness of the sons of men." 9. And He said: "Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend into the place of condemnation." 10. And one of us He commanded that we should teach Noah all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness. 11. And we did according to all His words: all the malignant evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation, and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth. 12. And we explained to Noah all the medicines of their diseases, together with their seductions, how he might heal them with herbs of the earth. 13. And Noah wrote down all things in a book as we instructed him concerning every kind of medicine. Thus the evil spirits were precluded from (hurting) the sons of Noah. 14. And he gave all that he had written to Shem, his eldest son; for he loved him exceedingly above all his sons.
Since we are talking about a large number of riders with horses, myriads myriads, we can see that the imprisoned demons may be let loose to torment manfaced. Why are these beings allowed to torment manfaced? Why are these beings being unleashed on the 4 billion people of earth to reduce earths population to 2.8875 billion people? John tells us what was going on, on the earth.
Revelation 9:20 G2532 And G3588 the G3062 rest G3588 of the G444 men G3739 who G3756 were not G615 killed G1722 by G3588 G4127 these calamities G3778 G3756 repented not G3340 G1537 from G3588 the G2041 works G3588 G5495 of their hands, G1473 G2443 that G3361 they should not G4352 do obeisance to G3588 the G1140 demons, G2532 and G3588 the G1497 idols -- G3588 the G5552 golden, G2532 and G3588 the G693 silver, G2532 and G3588 the G5470 brass, G2532 and G3588 the G3035 stones, G2532 and G3588 the G3585 wooden, G3739 which G3777 neither G991 [2to see G1410 1are able], G3777 nor G191 to hear, G3777 nor G4043 to walk.
21 G2532 And G3756 they repented not G3340 G1537 of G3588 G5408 their murders, G1473 G3777 nor G1537 of G3588 G5331 their sorceries, G1473 G3777 nor G1537 of G3588 G4202 their harlotry, G1473 G3777 nor G1537 of G3588 G2809 their thefts. G1473
All men were making idols and worshipping demons. They were murdering others, practicing sorceries, pharmakeia, which implies drugs, either for fun, or abuse, or poisoning. Remember many people went insane drinking the bitter water. Were they trying to remedy all the mental health issues with drugs or were they practicing witchcraft by drugging victims? We can gain a bit of insight from their harlotry or porneia. They were committing sexual sins, whether prostitution, fornication, incest, or adultery, they were all participating. They were also stealing klemma, which tells us they could have been stealing humans, drugging them and sexually abusing them for ritual purposes. Why are 4 billion people abusing one another? There are no Christians left on the earth, and there are many from the nations and tribes who already suffered and left, so what type of people are on earth at this time? The type of people who have no regard for human life. One billion of these people will die at this time, and the remaining people refuse to repent. Satanas has no regard for human life either which is why his influence on the earth has grown at this time.
We might think that people are not repenting because they don’t know about the Elohim. We might think that they never heard of Jesus Messiah, or the Bible. That would be incorrect. At this time, on the earth there are two people witnessing to the entire world. As these calamities unfold, the people of earth blame the two witnesses. We see them kill the two witnesses and celebrate their death. But just when they thought they were free from the Elohim, the two witnesses rise up to heaven, and everyone sees them. Next week.
