The Sounding Of The Seven Trumpets (Part 4)

Revelation 9:13;14

"And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the

four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,

Loose the four angels which are bound

in the great river Euphrates."

         When the "Sixth Trumpet" shall sound a voice from the "Golden Altar" will command the Trumpeter to loose "four angels" which are bound in the great river Euphrates. To know that they are "Bad Angels" is seen from the fact that they are "bound" and that they are the leaders of the army of 2000,000,000 "Infernal Calvary."  This begins the "Second Woe" The Plague of Horsemen.

        No one really knows who were the four angels bound at the river Euphrates. We can only set down what we know and what we can guess. The Euphrates was the ideal boundary of the territory of Israel. It was God's promise to Abraham: "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: (Gen. 15:18). The angels, therefore, came from the distant lands, from the alien and hostile places from which the Assyrians and the Babylonians had in time past descended with destruction upon Israel.  Further, in the Book of Enoch we frequently meet angels who are described as the Angels of Punishment. Their task was at the right time to unleash the avenging wrath of God upon the people. Undoubtedly these four angels were included among the Angels of Punishment. 

        Now let's talk about the Infernal Calvary; "The Plague of Horsemen."  This cavalry will not be composed of ordinary men and horses. The horse of course will have the body of a horse, the head of lion, a tail like a serpent, with the head of a serpent at the end of its tail. Out of their mouths will come fire, smoke and brimstone, and by these three, the third part of men will be killed. However before death the sting of their serpent tails will cause great pain. The riders on these horses will have breastplates of fire and brimstone, to match the breath of the horses.

        Supernatural armies are not unknown to the Scriptures. "Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them" (2Kgs. 6:14-16).

        When Jesus returns  He will be Accompanied by armies of Heaven, and it stands to reason that Satan has his armies. As awful this demon invasion will be, it will not cause men to repent. Here is something to think about. The Four angels that were bound and let loose were prepared for the exact Year, Month, Day and Hour predetermined by God for the Demon Invasion. This invasion is not like the Scorpion Locust. or the Infernal Calvary, Satan and his Demon Forces will be increasingly active and do all they can do to torment and destroy mankind.

      "seek ye Christ"
