Revelation 9

The fifth trumpet unleashes demonic locusts from the abyss under Abaddon/Apollyon, tormenting unsealed humans for five months without killing them, while the sixth trumpet releases four angels at the Euphrates to lead a 200-million-strong cavalry army that kills a third of mankind with fire, smoke, and brimstone.[1][2][3] Despite these woes, survivors refuse to repent of idolatry, demon worship, murders, sorcery, immorality, and thefts.[3]
