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 to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;
11 and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.
12 The first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
13 And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,
14 saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'
