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 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

11 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

13 Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

14 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
