In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. The shape of the locust was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold. and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men for five months. And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in the Greek, he has the name Apollyon.
One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
Consideration: A torment so great they sought to die. Locusts armed to carry out the command of their king, the angel of the bottomless pit. Two woes are still to come.
Father, how much time will you extend in mercy to mitigate this terrible suffering?
