This is an ancient, metaphorical riddle. These both seem to describe some sort of military organization or weapon, either in the past, present, or near future. Kudos to anyone who can identify and explain what these might be. Anyways, Happy New Year! And good hunting to all of us in 2009 on our quest for the truth.


• have same or similar power as a scorpion but if one uses an animal as a metaphor for them, they are more similar to locusts
• they are not supposed to harm the grass or any plants or trees, and not the "good guys" either
• They aren't allowed to kill the "bad guys" but only can torment them for five months with their tails
• the torment is like the sting of a scorpion
• they look like "horses" ready for battle
• on their heads they wear what looked like crowns of gold
• their faces are like human faces
• they had hair like a woman's hair
• their teeth are like lions teeth
• their chests are like iron breastplates
• the sound of their wings is like the the sound of many horse-drawn chariots racing into battle
• they have tails like scorpions with stingers
• their king is called in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. In Hebrew this is translated as destruction, or ruin. In Greek, this is "Destroyer".



• there are four groups of these bound at the banks of the Euprhates
• prepared for the very instant they are to kill much of the human race
• they can be described as an army of 200 million cavalry troops
• they have something called red, blue and yellow "breast plates" or armor
• their "horses" heads are like those of a lion
• out of their mouths comes fire, and smoke, and sulfur
• the power of these "horses" is in their mouths and in their tails
• their tails are "like snakes" with heads that inflict harm

Um... Should I go ahead and tell everyone where you got that from?

Some people think it's talking about helicopters, bt I believe they are actual beings, not a metaphore for some weapon, as most assume, why can't they be real eh?

I think that honesly, the result of these locusts sting is something that will seem like a zombie out break, think about it, peple walking around mangled and such because they've tried to kill themselves and were'nt able to, it's be like a movie.

I actually wanted to write a script for a movie about a team of researchers that go to the hollow earth and find these creatures and try to get out alive.

Why couldn't the creatures described be tiny instead of large, maybe viruses? Perhaps nano-technic? I'm trying to think of swarming things, most things that swarm are small. . . The scorpions tail could be more in metaphorical description of the effect of infection perhaps. The chest plate of iron may refer to resistance to treatment. Staying with the small-scale analysis, maybe the "as woman's hair" reference could be about cilia surrounding the creature to provide movement? Just some thoughts. . .

Thanks. Gillian Anderson is the hottest actress ever!

I still think it is an ancient seeing of a contemporary battle helicopter, ie, Apache.

I think it's all to do with scale.

Sounds like a description of certain forms of bacteria or virus based warfare, selectively engineered to only affect the "bad guys".

Sounds like some kind of insect to me. One that carries some kind of disease. One that we probably don't know about yet or one that could be being engineered through technology. Insects can come in some pretty wild shapes. I've seen pictures of insects that could EASILY be called unicorns and some that EASILY look like fairies.

Could this possibly be, an angel?
My kitty told me to say that.

That's really a lot of in depth research. I've got to say that's pretty convincing. But I was watching this world war two documentary and there was this Brit tank that had the same color armor or something. It was like some sort of camo used in the desert.

Ranger, a while back, somewhere, I was asked to explain the trumpets. There are about five pages in my posts.

The Roman Empire was divided into three parts. We just addressed the last part when it fell.

The earlier trumpets demonstrate the invasions and fall of the other two parts of the Roman Empire, which was the "world" of John.

I'm not real familiar with how to direct you to those posts that I made, but if you're interested, they are here somewhere. It's very detailed, and parallels history perfectly.

First Trumpet Goths.

Second Trumpet Vandals which crossed at Gibralter and attacked from the sea which had been dominated by the Roman navy.

Third Trumpet, Hungarians crossed Danube, crossed Rhine, battled on the Marne, again at the river Rhone, and even the river Po. When their leader died, the banks of the river Danube was turned aside, and buried beneath the river bed lies the bones of the star called Wormwood.

And so on. Good luck with your research.

Also if you want a pretty good text, order the "People's New Testament With Notes" and commentary by Johnson.

There is a wealth of historical information included alongside the texts which will help one to understand much of the visuals that John describes.

The thing about prophecies, or understanding these visions, is that they can't be selected and plugged into one vision, and not fit in place with the preceding and following visions.

If a description is to be assumed, then it must be in the right place, at the right time, and fit all the other context of the vision.

I don't know if I helped or not.

MMmmmmmm

The Book of Revelations cast apon the World Wide Web to descend in to the Abyss that is ATS.

It's all in there peeps, the 4 Horsemen [now it appears there's 5!], the nuclear strikes on Sodom and Gomorrah, the Tsumi that wiped out most of the Earth when the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs etc.

It's a damned good book, though a bit of a heavy read. No need to worry though because we've got at least another 2 years and 10 months to find out what these crittars from the Abyss look like.

Roll on 2012!
