Revelation 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 9:12

One woe is past
One of the three woe trumpets, the first of them; that is, in the vision which John had of it, not the thing itself designed by it:

[and] behold there come two woes more hereafter;
under the blowing of the sixth and seventh trumpets.

Revelation 9:12 In-Context

10 and they had tails with stingers, like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months.
11 They had as their king the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
12 The first woe has passed. There are still two more woes to come after this.
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four horns of the gold altar that is before God, I heard a voice
14 say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates."
