WeeKly BooK oF Revelation
paraphrased study
13 - When the sixth angel blew his trumpet, I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 and it said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, day, month, and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.16 The number of mounted troops - twice ten thousand times ten thousand is the number I heard. 17 And this is how the horses appeared and those who rode them - they wore breastplates the color of fire (red, red-orange) hyacinth (deep blue), and brimstone/sulfur (yellow) and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads (big) and fire, smoke, and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire (red), smoke (deep blue?) and brimstone (yellow) coming out of their mouths. (Rev.8:13 had said, “Woe! Woe! Woe [ouai - alas! woe!] to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts (that were) about to be sounded by the other three angels!” Trumpets five, six and seven.] 19 For the power of the horses [6th trumpet] is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.
20 The rest of mankind, who weren’t killed by these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries [pharmakos - poisoning, sorceries, magic (modern(?) “miracles to mislead”, and enchantments, mesmerising)] nor repented of their sexual immorality and thefts. (As opposed to Jn.3:33.)
