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 have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.

11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name Apollyon.

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.

13 And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
