Learn more about the ministry of the crew project at www.projecttruthmatters.com hi Dr. Cheryl Davis and thank you for listening to truth matters. We continue to march through the book of Revelation studying about the tribulation and were in the fifth trumpet and beginning in chapter 9 today that just by way of review. We have opened all seven seals of the title deed to the earth which secure the earth given to Jesus Christ by God the father and last time we were together in chapter 8 we hear the angel or the Eagle announce was whether to the inhabitants of the earth. Let's begin with the first 12 verses of chapter 9 then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit, and he open the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace said the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth, and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing that only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads and they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man 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 locusts 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 and they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

One woe is past.

Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

Let's get back to verse one, then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit first one I like to call the unnamed personality on this star has a personality and is referred to as he and him the unnamed personality who falls to the earth in the fifth trumpet judgment is undoubtedly Satan himself, the more illustrative reading of the perfect tense of the Greek verb in verse one would be. I saw a star which had already fallen to the earth and we find the conditions around when Satan fail from heaven. In the book of Isaiah Isaiah chapter 14 verses 12 and 15 how you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning how you are cut down to the ground, you who weaken the nations. Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the pit also like to read on Luke chapter 10 verse 18 and he said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven, so we know the history that Satan was a created being and had the sin of pride in his heart that caused him to fall from heaven said this star is Satan who fell from heaven. In verse two and he open the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace said the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit motors Cheryl Davis matters is a ministry project.
