The Four Angels of Revelation 9:13-16

I have spent a lot of time studying the prospect for a major large-scale conflict to transpire in the latter portion of the end times. I believe the four angels bound at the Euphrates River are key players in this conflict. In this article, I share insight on the four angels bound at the Euphrates River.

The Four Angels

Revelation 9:13-16 describes the release of four angels who are bound at the Euphrates River and the aftermath of their release: the slaying of a 1/3 of mankind by 200 million horsemen:

“(13) And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, (14) Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. (15) And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. (16) And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.” (Revelation 9:13-16)

The angels released from the Euphrates River are probably fallen angels because they have been bound there. The Greek word for “bound” (deō) is only used twice in the Book of Revelation. The other verse where this word appears is in Revelation 20:2, which describes Satan being bound for 1,000 years.

“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,” (Revelation 20:2)

Revelation 20:7 indicates that the binding of Satan for one thousand years is connected to his imprisonment:

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,” (Revelation 20:7)

Given the context of how the word “deō” is used in Revelation 20:2, 7, it is likely that the use of deō in Revelation 9:14 is meant to convey the sense that the four angels bound at the Euphrates River are imprisoned in a similar manner that Satan will be imprisoned for one thousand years.

The treatment of these four angels is interesting to note because they will be temporarily released from their bondage unlike the group of angels described in Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4.

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” (Jude 1:6)

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” (2 Peter 2:4)

I believe the Bible is inerrant and without contradiction, so I do not believe there is a contradiction between Revelation 9:14, Jude 1:6, and 2 Peter 2:4. I think these verses can be harmonized by the likely possibility that the four angels are kept at a different location than the group of angels mentioned in Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4 (the location Peter mentioned is hell/Tartarus).

Revelation 9:14-15 states that the four angels who will be released “were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year” at the Euphrates River. This phrase indicates that these angels are reserved for a specific purpose-primarily causing the type of chaos that leads to the death of a third of mankind.[1]

I believe the four angels may play some role in stirring up a large-scale conflict like the unclean spirits will rally the kings of the earth to battle following the pouring of the sixth vial (Revelation 16:13-14).

Note

  1. This is purely speculation, but perhaps these four angels specialized in causing chaos on Earth before they were bounded at the Euphrates River.

  1. I need help:

    Some time ago I read somewhere that at dinner point ‘hell is full and an angel is given the key to unlock the gate keeping hell back and all the people/spirits are released back onto earth to torment the remaining evil people in the end times while then New Jerusalem Heaven is still on the ground, and the 12 gates are guarded by angels are only those still being saved can enter.’ Alluding to the point that those who have ‘done time’ in spiritual jail and now know the truth (as opposed to having faith) can still be saved as others are being saved. Once the 144,000 remnant and all those they saved enter the gates are closed and Heaven lifts off, and the old earth and old Heavens, and hell itself are destroyed and everybody not in Heaven goes to the Lake of Fire and the new Heaven and Earth are created for those in Heaven.

    I once thought ‘all the prophecy in the Bible was in Revelations’, but have sense learned better. But now I’m having a really hard time finding all the other prophecies to locate this ‘hell released back on earth in the end days’ things, which i remember fitting perfectly with the 4 horsemen and the ‘pale horse, and the rider on him was Death and Hell followed with him to kill 1/3 the people on the earth’.

    Did i somehow dream this part? Please help me find this reference to hell being full and released onto earth.

    Thank you!

  2. Thank you so much. You are a great blessing from God having such an accurate knowledge of the end times. Thanks for sharing this knowledge. May God forever continue to use you. Thanks so much.

  3. Thank you so much… Very interesting. I appreciate your knowledge of the end times. Thanks again Lorene

  4. The Euphrates River is drying up, does that mean the 4 angels imprisoned will be loosed soon?

  5. Dude! Amazing receding of the river Euphrates! Holy Moelly! Yikes! Aargh! Just reading the past comments from 2019,2020, hahaha. Time definitely is no longer on the side of The Rolling Stones or Satan and his minions, for that matter. Why? Because Jesus is the Commander of the Army of the Lord! He’s coming to deal with his enemies, keep your lamp burning bright!

  6. 4 drug companies worked diligently to perfect, and for approval to disperse, 4 different untested Human rNA altering Vaccines. They anticipate that by the end of 2021, they will have vaccinated all of 1/3rd of the world’s population.

  7. Five years ago an evil spirit manifested in a man I was standing next to at an ice machine in a motel hallway. He knew I’m Born Again and said, “Tell me about this ‘Jesus’ “. I figured he knows our Savior’s true given name is Yeshua. I began a conversation with him and he asked me why he had been sent here. When I inquired what he meant he told me he’s an angel from Heaven. I know he means a Fallen One. He then asked if the angels at the river have been released yet. Imagine that!

  8. wayne…..
    i like some of your conclusions

    but lets respect the manner in which the book of revelation is to be understood as stated in verse 1 of chapter 1..the angel signified to John..i.e .used symbols…this means we must look for the meaning of the symbols in the bible …just like all drivers we must learn the symbols and then drive safely and interpret the symbols the same way or else we have accidents…accidents(disagreements between us ) in bible study in prophecy are a result of poor interpretation of symbols

    so let me agree with you on some points ( i dont like controversy )….those 4 angels are BOUND AND ARE FALLEN..you nailed it .brilliant bible study!.superb!…..now lets move on…In revelation babylon is used symbolically NOT LITERALLY…… .lets go back to the literal babylon which was destroyed.that empire was strong and impregnable ,because river Euphrates offered a huge barrier to enemies.Even Cyrus needed to divert the waters of river euphrates.Cyrus came from the east and defeated Babylon and announced the release of Israel from BABYLON…the Kings coming from the EAST IN REVELATION IS NON OTHER THAN CHRIST….the DRYING OF THE RIVER EUPHRATES in plague number 6 is not literal river euphrates …the bible defines what the waters are in prophecy….please note….RIVER EUPHRATES IS A BODY OF WATER WHERE LITERAL BABYLON USED TO SIT….IN SPIRITUAL BABYLON AND SPIRITUAL EUPHRATES…WATER IS….REVELATION 17:15..15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages……please note that the woman on revelation 17 is called .

    babylon the great

    the mother of prostitutes

    and of the abominations of the earth………she sits of waters ……Babylon sits on waters…Listen carefully Wayne! The people are referred to as water giving power and support to Babylon….their support will dry up in plague number 6 but in trumpet 6 the four evil angels HELD BACK AT RIVER EUPHRATES ARE RELEASED.This is shocking!…the horns of the alter of incense had blood applied upon them and its the blood of atonement speaking….the blood of atonement is saying LET GO AND ALLOW EVIL TO PROSPER…this army of demons is then released globally (remember babylon is not being used in a local sense but shows you the end time political -religious system opposed to God in a global sense supported by the people opposed to God…When this army is released we don’t see 4 angels ,we read John hears a number of the troops ..its twice ten thousand time ten thousand.this is a symbolic representation of the demonic army of demons that goes out to gather people for the great battle…forget about all the human computations of armies etc John is in symbols language..listen to John..when He wants to tell you there are many angels this is what he says…..Revelation 5.11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand….that number means he cannot count it..the greek words used in revelation 9 is twice ten thousand times ten thousand …He does not intend the reader to read this literally

    so what is the sixth trumpet?…..before i explain it LETS go back to Jericho…Trumpets were used as symbols of war …numbers 10:8.we see that the first 6 days had a round of trumpets being blown daily by the encircling marching israel …WHAT WERE THE RESIDENTS OF JERICHO SUPPOSED TO DO IN THOSE SIX DAYS?…THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO FIND SHELTER UNDER RAHABS HOUSE..THAT WAS THE HOUSE OF MERCY!…Trumpets are warning events of the coming of the final destruction!the LAST DAY day 7 at Jericho came with seven rounds of marching ..i repeat …when they marched on day seven they marched seven times on the final day…the seventh trumpet in revelation comes with seven rounds of plagues(mercy is closed then) so the sixth trumpet is the last trumpet with mercy…in revelation 9 despite the shocking message from the 4 horns THAT ALTER IS STILL interceding for our sins!there is mercy under the sixth trumpet!…there is no mercy under the seventh trumpet! as soon a the seventh trumpet is announced the phrase -THY WRATH HAS COME-ushers in the seven plagues of God s wrath!……destruction follows! just like Jericho

    so the sixth trumpet shows you the marshalling of Satanic s forces to gather people for the final showdown against God s people .God eventually allows evil forces to gather those who have continually opposed God …notice the final position of these people.THEY….”still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts”……

    we are in the sixth trumpet! right now…..please note the sixth seal has the gathering of the army of Gods people shown in revelation 7…please note! 4 good angels HOLD BACK THE WINDS OF STRIFE….to allow the sealing of God s people

      • fair play…i accept your disagreement….perhaps we may benefit from recognising what revelation 4 and 5 are all about….and we may appreciate the first seal…

        Wayne….read closely revelation 4….the common assumption is that when John says “after this” therefore the events in revelation 4-22 must be future….here is a bombshell..(revelation 12 is not all future but some events are past).lets dig into the text in revelation 4….in revelation 4..only God the Father is on the throne alone….He is surrounded by 4 seraphim’s (lets keep it simple) and in the outer circle are the 24 elders( i will not define who they are )…there is another Being who is opposite the throne…that BEING IS THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF God (revelation 4:5)…lets keep in simple…that means the HOLY SPIRIT …so far so good?..perfect ..i saw you nodding..lets enjoy the rest of revelation 4 with the worship and praise of God the Father by the seraphim’s and the 24 elders …….end of chapter 4!..its obvious Christ is missing in the throne room….and John in revelation 4 does not mention the thousands of angelic hosts!…..lets take the texts as they are revealed…..we move to chapter 5….Christ appears as an answer to the question asked!!!!…as a lamb that was slain….ummmm and not just that Christ appears to have received the Holy Spirit(he has seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God…all in symbols but lets keep it simple…it means Christ is shown to John as having arrived in heaven ,received the HOLY SPIRIT(anointed as HIGH PRIEST OF THE NEW COVENANT) and SENT the HOLY SPIRIT TO EARTH..revelation 5:6!!!…thats a bombshell which takes the reader back to AD31 when HE ASCENDED ….and then at day 50 pentecost…Holy Ghost power sent to earth!!!…..so the vision in revelation 4 explains itself WAYNE….Christ is seen taking his seat at the right hand of the Father in AD31…John did not see everything in the future(see revelation 12 and tell me everything there was future and i will quit studying )…John does get shown things which happened before his Patmos time….like revelation 4 John is showing us heaven waiting for CHRISTs ARRIVAL from earth after ascension….then revelation 5 He arrives accompanied by the thousands of angelic hosts….enjoy the celebrations in heaven in chapter 5…and guess what? John is pointed even further when this will be repeated on a large scale when all the redeemed will have been taken home and heaven will echo with praise…Jesus took a small harvest of those who resurrected with Him as pointer to the larger harvest coming up with Him at his second coming….so now then Wayne….When Jesus sat at the right hand of the Father that’s when he opened the first seal……..you said..”I don’t believe even we have seen the opening of the first seal yet”……now if you place when the event in revelation 4 and 5 took place you can then find when first seal sea was opened ….remember CHRIST is giving the message in symbols…..in the same way if you can find when Christ started his intercession at the alter of incense in revelation 8:2-5 you will be bible to trace when the the first trumpet started…without going into details…..there is still more to be studied….i suggest we defend not our positions but we uphold the plain truth….healthy disagreements…healthy exchanges…..

    • I disagree that the bible is literal in some places and symbolic in others. God’s Truth is always true on every level, in every single way, from an iota to infinity. There is no trick, that is the realm of the adversary. There is no private interpretation of the scripture. Anything we see as symbolism, or as a puzzle for the human brain to solve, simply consists of too much light for us to take in at the time of reading. The important thing to remember when we’re reading the Word of God is to be a lover of Truth. We should seek God’s understanding, not our own. He always has and always will share His Truth with us, as we are His children. All we have to do is *be* His children, set our hearts right (by which we mean humble, compassionate, helpful – not competitive, belittling, or self important,) and ask Him. We must ask aright, not so that we can consume it upon our lusts (i.e. fulfill our desire to be smarter and righter than our brothers).

  9. If the sixth seal has not occurred, then how can the very first trumpet be blown? Americans, you are all liars, your churches are not just lukewarm. You are very deceived by the mark of the beast and accepting the mark even within your own churches, in the “scheme” of buying and selling Jesus products and “Christian” Music which you all well know, is financed by the banks belonging to Satan, from Saturn, the devil who is deceiving the whole planet into believing the daughters of eve are the enemy, and that you should accept a muslim wolf into your congregations. This wolf, is an imposter in shepherds clothing, wielding the most satanic of all weapons, a Japanese katana.

    When two brothers can not agree, then contentions and disorder arise. Look at your bankers. They can not judge justly on simple civil court cases regarding credit cards with no chip. You mean to tell me, that the designer of the tower in Washington D.C. did not first sit down to count the cost of the tower before he acutally started to order the tools and supplies to complete the blueprint? How much do you owe my Father? No response, nothing but locusts flying in Saudi Arabia, the most deceived of all regime who are ending up on the side of Israel and against Iran, the nation firing nuclear warheads at the United States Government.

  10. These are the same angels. Revelation 4 angels, Jude and Peter all the same. They are a certain angelic cast which left their first estate in order to seek human wives in the time of Noah.

    The day of judgement is the Return of Christ, or the Great and Terrible day of the Lord, the Tribulation leads up to this. They are in the abyss until this time and are spiritually bond to the Euphrates.

    • seer nonsense…. Mysticism, Gnosticism, devil wishful thinking…. you know not which manna you are eating… dried up, ash heaped, ash cake, lies

  11. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” (Jude 1:6)

    “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” (2 Peter 2:4)

    I forgot to add a thought to show they cross the thresh hold. When Jesus cast out legion, for they were many, they begged Him not to send them below but into the pigs instead. There is something about them going there that makes it difficult to get back to where man is. However, nowhere in this scripture does it say they cannot resurface.

    They definitely interact with people and many of them do. They are not omnipresent like God is. It takes a legion to drag down so many. Just a thought.

  12. Revelation 9:14b
    Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

    Euphrates means:That makes fruitful

    If this is translated then the sentence says: Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river that makes fruitful.

    You shall know them by their fruit. Does something wicked bring forth fruitfulness or come from something fruitful? A ‘great river that makes fruitful’ sounds an awful lot more like our Lord (river of living water, who makes fruitful all that are His)

    Bound is wrapped/held. (Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven).

    The fallen angels you speak of in 2 Peter and Jude are also wrapped but they are wrapped in darkness (outer darkness-darkness to be precise) They are, though, still allowed to interact with people. They can cross the thresh-hold but not people. I know this because I died and saw them and God brought me back to life. They interacted with me before I died…very strange too much to get into.

    The amazing thing is I experienced this before I ever knew any scripture other than what many people know like Noah’s ark, David and Goliath, Abraham and Isaac and that Jesus is the Savior of the world. Not much beyond that. I was shocked to find these beings and the places I went in the Bible. Outer darkness was one of the places that I went. The beings I saw were covered in this darkness-no holes for nose or ears or eyes or mouth just formed over those parts. I suggest learning the meanings of names of people and cities to add to your bank of knowledge. It is quite amazing what happens when you do ????

  13. I’ve also read these things, but I don’t claim to be an expert. I read in the Book of Enoch, which has excerpts from the scrolls of Noah, that the army will kill off the lineage of Ham.

    • The war associated with the release of the four angels is likely going to lead to the destruction of Egypt and its neighbors (Daniel 11:40-44, Ezekiel 30:1-9). Egypt is a descendant of Ham.

      • WE are Egypt meaning the United States. The US became the new Babylon beginning with Cleopatras twin son and daughter, who escaped the burning of Alexandria and landed in Philadelphia, PA (named after their eldest brother Philadelphius who was slain by the Roman army). They brought 50k Hebrew slaves with them for labor and food as in eating their slaves children for adrenochrome which recreated Egypt complete with Baal worship. Hebrew coptic cemetaries dot the Susquehanna River and not a single preacher speaks this truth. New Babylon parrallels the creation of the United States as our shadow government. These Egyptians are still alive, are all human hybrids and many live in posh underground dwellings that rival the Pharohs. Over time, many Hebrew slaves escaped and became the Plains Indians. These Hebrew slaves are the descendants of the lost tribes of Rueben, Asher, Naptali and Gad. Egypt is why we have the all seeing eye and a pyramid on our currency. It is why Washington D.C. has the largest amount of missing children in our entire country. The 4 fallen arch angels are under Toth Ra control. Ra, the great deceiver. Ra is Satan/Lucifer. They live underground and do appear from time to time as I saw them twice. Once @ Arizona Anazazi site and while at Mt. Ararat in Turkey in 1972. Time is short. The peace treaty with Israel was signed via Donald J. Trump. Post 3 1/2 years the treaty will be violated and Tribulation will begin in earnest. BTW, Mr. Croley, you are a descendant of the Seminole tribe aka Tribe of Rueben and I have zero doubts that we share the same bloodline (cousins). May the Great I AM bestow His favor and fortune upon you and your children unto the 7th generation and more. Selah!

  14. CATHOLIC CHURCH POPE JOHN PAUL I & II, POPE BENEDICT, POPE FRANCIS. The four angels of the River Euphrates are from the Holy Lands of the Middle-East Kingdoms of the World. The four angels, are the blood Family genealogy of the Holy Lands. The four angels, are where the sun rises first in the World, waiting to be freed from this foreign land. They have four namesakes, and are four messengers to the world. The four angels are appointed to execute a third of mankind, witnessing Mother Nature’s fist of fury. God has ordered for the four angels FREEDOM, from his gold alter’s, in Heaven. The four Angels of the River Euphrates, must be freed respectively with all, if the World Economy is going to survive.
    Otherwise the world, will suffer by the fury, of Mother Nature, if the FOUR Angels, of the River Euphrates, is not released from where the sun rises first in the World. The Four Angels of the River Euphrates names is the 1st Angel of Heavens Throne. The 2nd Angel of Universal True Church. The 3rd Angel of World True Church. The 4th Angel of Eternal Fires, enemies. The four Angels are to be freed, because of the World Economy falling into despair, from the Mother Nature’s Fury. Mother Natures, fury is her history, present & no future that gives her the power & authority, to order the EARTH, order the WIND order the FIRE & order the RAIN, she is obeyed by the Earth, Wind, Fire & Rain, THE FULFILLED PROPHECIES IS HAPPENING, because of the second coming of Jesus Christ & Saviour, with his Throne of Heavenly armies the day of Judgement the day of the Lambs war for his Bride the World True Church on earth. The Lambs bride, that turns the lock with the key of ETERNITY, to open the World True Church is the Lambs wife. WARNING WARNING WARNING to anyone, who tries to separate the four angels, of the River Euphrates, will fall into the Eternal Fires, by the power and authority of the 4th Angel of the Eternal Fires, enemies.

    • The four angels from the Euphrates are not going to save the world’s economy. Causing the death of 1/3 of the world’s population is not good for the global economy. Stoking world war is not good for the global economy.

      • Agreed. The Most High could care less about the world economy. He cares only for our return. The entire bible is a love letter to His children and he waxes and wanes with us as an unruly but beloved child.

    • The writings of Peter and Jude were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Just because 1 Enoch mentions something similar does not necessarily mean that 1 Enoch was inspired by the Holy Spirit.

      • It doesnt mean it isnt either. There are around 23 inspired books that were lost or destroyed and are referenced in the Hebrew Old Testament. I Enoch is just one of many.

      • True…the writings of Jude are inspired!

        The Lord woke me one morning and said: what do you know of the earth before the flood? I said…not much Lord…you didnt give Moses much on this. He asked: what do you know of Enoch. I answered: at 65 he began to walk with you for 300 years. Then He asked: How many times is Enoch mentioned in My Word? I looked it up and responded…he is mentioned 13 times in 12 verses. The God asked: Is he quoted? I said yes…in Jude verses 14 and 15 to which God said…and every Word is inspired! I said yes. Then He asked: have you ever read his book? I said no. Then the Lord said: you have many books…do any of the books have authors that were quoted in My Word? Now the Lord knew that I dont consider the Word a book. He had told me once…”I AM not a book” so I said no to His question. He said: Enoch has credible authorship…read the book. My only reason for this testimony is your last response. Had you read Enoch…you would know that Jude was quoting Enoch verbatim in verses 14 and 15 while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He was not merely making a remark which the Holy Spirit never does. Every Word of the Word and every Word the Holy Spirit speaks is a SURE WORD.

        “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
        ‭‭John‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV

        “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
        ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        The angels Enoch was speaking of are the 200 that God sent to watch over the earth before the flood referenced in Genisis 6. Jude is also refering to Enoch and these same angels which were the cause of the flood. The sons of these angels were giants called Nephilim. Elohim had Raphael bind the lead angel and bury him in a desert covered with two kinds of stone so that he would not see the light of day. Elohim had Gabriel bind the remaining 199 and put them into the abyss…again to keep them from light. To answer Karl’s question…none of these angels are associated with the 4 angels bound at the Euphrates

        respectfully submitted
        br

        • Bruce, you are just wrong…. the Lord Jesus did not say that to you…. you need to be delivered from witchcraft. the book of Enoch is all Jewish Mysticism….. devil talk and devil bread…. please do more research…. you wont listen to me but I promise you…. this book is Ash cakes and not manna…. it is the counterfeit

        • That was all facts right there. So we still at square 1. The 4 Angel’s from Revelation 9 ARE the same Angel’s that Ezekiel saw while at the river Chebar, spoken of various times in the book of Ezekiel. Those “CHERUBIMS,” were not bound as Ezekiel quoted them as moving here and there with their wheels. This is proof that they cannot be associated with any of the fallen 200 Angel’s that were BOUND. The prophecy of what would happen when those Angel’s are released in reference to the destruction of man, and the 200 million of an army is speaking of Gog and the Land of Magog. (Gugu and Matgugu – Land of Gugu) They are the combined armies spoken of in Ezekiel 38, headed by China & Russia. Thee only question that I present to this platform is WHEN were these 4 Angels bound? Being that the river Chebar that Ezekiel had encountered these Angels, is a tributary to the “Euphrates river,” I believed for a moment that when the Most High sent Adam and Eve from the garden, and placed Cherubs at the East gate of the garden, was the inception. (Genesis 3) The Garden as we know has 4 rivers that are geographically associated with it location, 1 being the river Euphrates, the 4th river. (Genesis 2) The Word doesn’t say verbatim that they were “bound” there so I will not conclude that as the time or that those are the same Cherubims from Revelation & Ezekiel. If anyone has an answer and a source I would appreciate it, be blessed

      • I completely agree, Wayne….. this is king Og’s ash cake, fake manna lies from utter darkness, profaning and counterfeiting lies…. Jesus said another voice you will not follow….. this is another voice!!

      • The Father spoke to Enoch directly so no need for the Holy Spirits intervention. Enoch was so revered that The Most High turned him incorruptible into Metatron just as Jesus said “Ye are gods”.

  15. I had a dream years ago i was in my house and i opened the front door, walked ouside and it started raining. The rain looked strange so i put my hand out and it was raining blood and got on the palm of my hand. I had blood on my hand. I went back into my house, walked to the other side and looked out the window and saw these large clouds with these beings coming down through them. Some were on chariots. It was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. They were landing on the ground. I then saw 4 tall beings and with them a large box. 2 each stood at each side of the box. I the saw from the field people that were white ghost figures running across the field to where the beings landed. And i thought i want to be there, instead of looking out a window. I then saw the people walking up to the box and then disappear. I deciphered that these were gods angels fallen to the ground and the 4 tall brings were the angels bound in euphrates.

    • God only is the interpreter of dreams. Your dream is quite interesting so I screenshotted it.

      In my experience others usually get Devine understanding to interpret another’s dream. I have had others get a lightbulb moment (clearly Devine interaction when observing them react to input) when I have shared dreams with them I did not understand and when they explained it, it made perfect sense. Simple even, yet I never considered it.

      I have also had this experience with a friend’s dream once with me interpreting their dream. Previous to the correct interpretation I had told them through my carnal knowledge what it meant only to talk with them the next day and get a bolt of energy through me that clearly showed me what the dreams, there were two different ones with the same message, meant. They ended up meaning pretty much the opposite of what I thought they meant and I did not interpret them as both having the same meaning in my own interpretation.

      God is amazing and if these dreams are of Him then He will tell you what they mean. Otherwise discard them because they come from another source. Yes, dreams can come through devils as well. Look for the clear and perfect translation that precisely lines up with scripture.

  16. Hello Wayne,
    I am also searching for info about Revelation 9:14
    14saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

    If you are interested, I have many “beast” and “mark of the beast” etc. posts on my facebook page.

  17. The Revelation of Jesus Christ was about things soon to occur that JESUS wanted John to warn the seven churches about. It concerned the end times certainly, but there are two end times. The end times of Judah and the end times of the world, which in both instances means their importance and social structure. The seven bowls and the four angels and the seven trumpets, the beast of 666, the abomination of desolation, all these things were brought about in the end times of Judah. Judaea as an important nation was destroyed in the seven years war between AD 63-70, all these things are past. Microchips and bar codes of the future have nothing to do with Revelation. To be saved by Jesus Christ one needs to believe in Christ and in his message that a day of resurrection for everyone will occur when those who are not followers of Christ will be judged on their deeds. Followers of Christ have already been forgiven and gathered to Christ’s flock. The mandate to being saved is to believe on Jesus and does not rest on whether anyone receives a microchip or not. Jesus said he spoke in parables because in seeing, they see not; in hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand. I urge you to think about that

  18. Hi Wayne,

    First off, thanks for your contribution it is very helpful.

    I believe you may be able to shed some light on this dream I had this morning .
    I heard the voice of God say ” When the star crosses the Euphrates this will be the sign.”
    I thought in the distance there was a voice saying was something about Trump.
    Then I head a voice say, ” God’s beloved”….and I couldn’t make out the rest of
    it then I woke up.

    I always had dreams foretelling the future. And in the last five yeas I have had a
    series of dreams that are very exact about the coming events,
    I have recorded all my dreams . I had a dream of where we should move to for safety.
    they told me of a place I didn’t even know existed!
    I know we will are now beginning to witness revelations
    The anti-Christ will be making his appearance on the world stage between
    now and 2018.

  19. Hi Wayne,

    Thank you for taking the time to post this information. I stumbled across your work after watching an interview by LA Marzulli where he spoke about angels being bound in the Euphrates River. Keep up the good work!

  20. LA Marzulli interviewed an unidentified soldier who was stationed in Haditha in Iraq for his “Watchers 10” video. He stated that the inmates at the prison beneath the local dam freak out every nite, and the guards draw straws to see who’ll watch these prisoners every nite, citing intense feelings of dread. The soldier realized after reading The Book Of Revelation that one (or more?) of the Angels that are bound up in the Euphrates is in chains beneath the prison.

  21. My Interpretation of Rev. 9:1-7: Trumpet Judgement happens at the end of the Millennium

    9 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

    (The star is an angel of God commanded to release the Locusts which are demons/fallen angels that were imprisoned in the abyss for a long time. Abyss/Bottomless Pit is a prison. The legion of demons who possessed a man, would have not fearfully beg the Lord Jesus not to send them there if they know they can just go in and out of there whenever they like. So they know that the God the Father and the Lord Jesus is the one who has authority over the abyss. So the angel that released them is from God. Those who does not have the seal of God does not necessarily mean those who have the mark of the beast. The saints which are those who have the seal of God in their forehead, lived on through the millennium as royal priest and through eternity in the New Heavens and New Earth as kings over the nations, they still have their seals on. Those who had the mark of the beast was already destroyed at Jesus’ Second coming)

    7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer)

    (The King here is satan, the angel of the abyss. Satan is a fallen angel. The Locusts/Demons would not have as their king someone who had not been with them in the abyss and been among them. So it is obvious that the king here came also from the abyss. In Rev. 20, it is clearly said that satan will be imprisoned in the abyss for a thousand years, meaning he can not go in and out of it anytime he wants, and after that he will be released to deceive the nations again, and to steal, kill, and DESTROY. No wonder the king of the locusts/demons is branded as the DESTROYER. Satan is lucifer, old serpent, dragon, beast, morning star, angel of light, … he has so many names and titles, why can’t we accept then that he is also Gog the 8th king at the end of the Millennium, and Apollyon or Abaddon the DESTROYER)

    If you are a Pretrib, Midtrib, Prewrath, and a Postrib with the understanding that the Rapture/Resurrection happened at the last trumpet judgement, then you will have a hard time understanding this, having to try lining this up with your preconceived views.

    I am a Post Tribulation Rapture believer having the understanding that the Rapture/Resurrection of the Bride happened at the Sixth Bowl Judgement just prior to the Punishment of the Great Whore (Jesus snatches His Bride after that, He dealt with the Prostitute).

    The Key behind this is the scripture that said, it is one of the Angels who holds the Bowls Judgement who showed to John the Bride. After a thousand years had passed, after this angel have done his work at the pouring of the Bowls Judgement, almost at the end of the Great Tribulation, had been given again another task to show to John who the Bride is. With so many angels in heaven, why this angel? what is the logic here?

  22. Hi Wayne, thank you and all those taking the time to read and comment.on your thoughts and study of God’s matchless Word. It may bless to watch God’s prophetic timeline revealed, proof were in the end times under humbleseeker53@yahoo on you tube. God bless you!

  23. Has anyone read the first book of Adam and Eve? Yes an apocraphycal book but personally I believe it to be consistent with the scriptures and its pictures of Messiah are amazing, in chapter Lxx11 and verse 14 it says the following – Then Adam and Eve arose and prayed to God, while Satan and his hosts went down into the river, in presence of Adam and Eve; to let them see they were going back to their own regions. This location may be where they dwell and were therefore put under a sort of house arrest until allowed to leave which is where you find them in Revelation 9. Could the release mechanism be CERN?

  24. Hi all
    I just bought a trumpet angel pendant in silver 925
    After reading all comments I am afraid that I bought a wrong figure
    Pls tell me if prumpet angels are really bad angels?
    Should I not ware it ?
    Can this pendant bring bad luck to me?

    Thanks

    • There are good angels that carry trumpets. The angel who will blow the trumpet prior to the release of the four bad angels referenced in this article does not appear to be a bad angel.

  26. i can’t give the isis any credit for anything they are Sunni and are supported by all Sunni the middle east will solve their own problems our presence is superficial and nothing to do with them

  27. You are almost right here but Apollyon means “destroyer” and he was certainly that but he wasn’t Saddam Hussein.
    His name was Abaddon which is a code. The actual person’s name “sounds like” Abaddon and is actually bin Laden.
    By way of cross-reference, according to the Bible he “ascends from the bottomless pit, will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city”, just as we remember the bodies did after 911 in that great city, New York

    • Why can’t you put the events associated with the 6th trumpet before the start of the seventieth week of Daniel? I don’t see a reason at all. The first five trumpets have most likely already sounded, and now we wait for the 6th.

      • I disagree that the first 5 trumpets have sounded. What evidence exists that these trumpets have sounded already? For instance, the 5th trumpet calls for locusts from the abyss to torture people for 5 months. I’m unaware of that event transpiring in the past.

        • Gulf War syndrome was nothing to ignore. The fifth trumpet refers to the Gulf War. You also have to keep in mind that John was describing things to the best of his ability. For example, John had never before seen a Sikorsky Sea King or Seahawk helicopter – huge locusts was his best description. Apollyon v.11 (Apollyon means Saddam – I kid you not – look it up!) set 700 huge oil wells on fire in 1991, creating massive smoke v2. Huge helicopters had to come in and cap the wells. The sun and sky were darkened for months.

          The first trumpet was WW1, the second WW2, the third Chernobyl, the fourth Berlin Wall (the healed beast!), the fifth Gulf War. The sixth is now brewing.

          • …” huge locusts was his best description. Apollyon v.11 (Apollyon means Saddam – I kid you not – look it up!) set 700 huge oil wells on fire in 1991, creating massive smoke ”
            ———————
            These locusts are described in Nahum 3.

            “Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.”

            Their leader is Antichrist – King of Assyria.

            “Thy shepherds slumber, O KING OF ASSYRIA: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them”.

            “In Amos 7:1 LXX we have a most intriguing passage. Most English translations read something like this: “The sovereign LORD showed me this: I saw him making locusts just as the crops planted late were beginning to sprout. (The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest.)”

            “Thus the Lord showed me, and behold, a swarm of locusts coming early, and behold, one locust, Gog, the king.” It’s possible that the translator has seen in Amos 7:1 a link to Joel’s locust army, which comes from the north (Joel 2:20), and has thus linked it to Ezekiel’s Gog, which also comes from the north (Ezek 38:15).

            http://danielstreett.com/2011/09/23/gog-the-locust-king-lxx-texts-of-note-3/

            We are almost there, when GOG-Assyrian-Apollyon will return.

            911:

            “And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

            antipasministries.com/html/file0000397.htm

            It is interesting to note that the name Bush בוש read in reverse is Shuv שוב – RETURN.)

            “When President Bush will return to Israel for the THIRD time, it will not be as the previous president of the USA, but rather the whole world will know that he is HaShem’s elected PRESIDENT GOG.”

        • The locusts are helicopters, as john could describe them. The 5 month battle was the Kuwait war which lasted 5 months and 5 days.

          • As we have not entered Daniel’s 70th week yet(which only lasts 7 years and we are decades past the Gulf War), I am confused as to how you feel we have already long ago passed the 5th trumpet judgment given that it comes after the great tribulation. (Not to mention that the Gulf War lasted 6 months 3 weeks and 5 days.) I don’t think we will miss the great tribulation when that happens. Nor have we experienced anything near what is described in the sixth seal and trumpets 1-4. I don’t recall a great asteroid hitting one of the seas. Nor all the grass and 1/3 of the trees being burned up. I believe we would all remember that. And exactly how do helicopters come out of the abyss? The abyss or bottomless pit would seem to be in the same category and possibly relative location as hell. Why can you not just accept that they are either fallen angels or demonic forces? I’m curious. Why do you have a problem with that solution?

          • The Book of Revelation doesn’t say an asteroid strikes the sea it says “I saw as it were a burning mountain” falling into the sea. I thought this probably foretold an asteroid strike until I realised that this part is referring to the war in Iraq and you can see a Utube video of something hitting the see which would look very much like a “burning mountain” to someone in John’s time. You can look for yourself at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R30cbnkMG3s

          • Personally mate I think the bottomless pit/abyss were the dodgy fallen ones emerge from will be something that CERN initiates, they are deliberately trying to open up portals and if reports are true, some have already seen apparitions, Stephen Hawking himself has expressed concern at what CERN may bring if they keep ramping the speed up and pushing the boundaries.

      • As the trumpets sound after the crowd is seen coming out of the great tribulation, it seems kind of clear that they can’t come before the 70th week, doesn’t it?

  28. I find it interesting that the Sunni population is above 200 million if you count ISIS, Egypt, and other surrounding areas, which would align with the sixth trumpet of Revelations 9:13-20. If they end up marching toward the west, toward Israel, this may indeed be that trumpet sound which sets up a sound defeat by Israel, a possible 7 year peace pact, and a third temple. I would watch for the Euphrates to dry up in places, so that armies can march to the west, into Jordan and Israel. They will not stop at Baghdad. Their goal is to defeat the West including Israel and the US.

  29. I suspect that a key reason why there may be so much fighting taking place after the sounding of the sixth trumpet is that there may be shortages of life-sustaining resources like water.

  30. Might be interested in the Prophet’s speech about the Euphrates.

    “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come before the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people would fight. Ninety-nine out of each one hundred would die but every man amongst them would say that perhaps he would be the one who would be saved (and thus possess this gold).”

    There are many prophesies that are worth looking at here. Example of the one where the destitute arabs of the desert compete in building the tallest buildings, which has obviously recently come to fruition.

  31. Keep studying. I remember where I was after one year of study. As you study be willing to challenge your own assumptions and understanding. Also, study with the intent to use your knowledge to help people. People might be afraid of the topic of Bible prophecy and may not want to hear you talk about the topic of Bible prophecy, but someday may come a time when your knowledge helps protect people from the dangers of the end times.

  32. I think the release of the four angels bound at the Euphrates will come some time before the Euphrates completely dries up. I don’t think the drying of the Euphrates is the cause of the four angels getting released.

  33. Hello another thing is the blood moons are only seen close to America from what I read on news. I thank it is a sighn for America that something big is gonna change in America in a short time within a year or 2 I believe something major is gonna change in America. Since most of all the end time sighns are bad i don’t think it’s gonna be a good thing for America but it could be very good or very bad for America. This is my guees I’m from usa and pray for our people but we live in sin no doubt. We have turned away from God. I thank us will b corrected by God or b destroyed for turning away from him and all the sin wow But ther are good Godly people in my church in my small town and I’m sure there are many more people who know God and walk with him everyday also. Godbless

  34. I have been studying end times for solid year and I find this so interesting because I know God to be real after speaking to him. From what I notice there are a few things left to happen. The 2 million man army the 4 angels loosed seem to relate in my mind. Other unrelated sighns. The statue or image gonna have life and talk. Most all the sighns of his coming have been fulfilled other than beasts , fowls and fishes dying thers not many things that hAvnt happened yet but the things left are gonna b unmistakeabley easy to know they were told of from bible. The mark of the beast, the image coming to life and speaking , the animals dying , the 2 million man army crossing Euphrates. These all should b easy to notice. If I have mis spoken anything please forgive me my intent is on sharing bible info i have studied much my intent is not to put fear into people about the end cause i hope u already know better u should fear God according to scripture. I’m focusing on the dreadful things that are coming upon the earth i believe quickly. Cause it says in bible that this generation who sees all these sighns will not pass till the end My wording may not b perfect but thats what is says in the bible. So of these few big major things thats gonna happen what ur guees on what’s gonna happen first. My guees is big war or that image of the beast coming to life. It’s hard to say could b the animals dying but I thank that’s closer to the end cause Christians b gone and God gives them blood to drink because they deserve it according to bible it fits them right. God bless. My christian friends and lovers of Jesus and God i enjoy getting others peoples opinions who actually know God that is. If u dont know god I hope u meet him. But if u dont know God I don’t thank u are able to speak of wisdom u hAvnt been given even if u went to school many years to read bible i don’t think a person understands without being given the gift of understanding from God or his wonderful Son. Jesus

    • Above comment by Gary: With careful and prayerful study, it seems to me that the 200 million strong army are really the “locusts” (demons) released by Satan from the bottomless pit. Many people feel that this could be present-day army of China, since they have the population and capacity for such a large military.

      Pinning China with this passage would be incorrect. Rev. 9:1-17 is clearly talking about fallen angels, not human beings. This includes the four angels bound at the river. The key word here is “bound”. I have yet to read scripture that refers to heavenly angels being bound. The four angels holding the four winds of the earth are different than those at the river, being not bound or held by anything but the command of God.

        • satan was released from the pit at the end of the millennium. so where does the trumpet judgement fits in the prophetic end time line?

          Trumpet Judgement is more horrific and disastrous than the Bowls Judgement. Why does it have to come first?

        • Satan was released from the bottomless pit at the end of the millennium. So where does the Trumpet judgement fits in the prophetic end time line?

          The Trumpet Judgement is more horrific and disastrous than the Bowls Judgement. Why does it have to come first?

          • If the Trumpet judgement precedes the Bowls Judgement, have they not learned and repented?

            Rev. 11:13 – Sixth Trumpet
            At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and GAVE GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN.

            Rev. 16:21 – Sixth Bowl
            From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. AND THEY CURSED GOD on account of the plagues of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

          • How do you get that the trumpet judgments are worse than the bowls. Only one third of the world suffers from the first four trumpets, only those without the mark of God suffer from the demons in the 5th trumpet, and only a third part of the people are killed by the sixth trumpet. After the earthquake in the sixth trumpet, the remnant (the KJV is the better translation, for it is the believing remnant who have yet to be raptured in the Second Coming and know the time has come when their pain will end) give glory to God. In the bowl judgments the wrath of God is poured out on every person who has the mark of the beast from the tribulation period. All of the waters of the earth become blood, not just a third. The sun becomes much hotter (7 times so according to the O.T.), which affects the entire world, then the entire kingdom of the beast (not just one third) becomes dark. Then the entire world is gathered to Armageddon. The hailstones are 100 pounds each. Of course they are cursing God. The end has come for them all as Christ sets up His millennial kingdom. How is this less horrific than the trumpets?

          • Revelation 20:12-15
            12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

            13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

            14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

            15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

            Many Bible Scholars understood it as all the Dead were cast into the lake of fire because of their preconceived view that salvation belongs only to those who had been part of the First Resurrection.

            I guess you have understood the same way also that the Bowls Judgement Events happened all over the earth not sparing any place even where the saints needed to be safe and be protected. (Rapture/Resurrection happens at the Sixth Bowl Judgement, it is not one of the Angel of the Trumpet Judgement who showed to John the Bride).

            At least in the Trumpet Judgement no amount of twisting and speculating can be done because it is very specific and detailed with regards to the scope of the effect of the judgement.

            In Exodus, the Judgement Event was concentrated only on the Kingdom of the Pharaoh. Israel was spared from the plagues.

            Maybe a should throw you this question so I would make clear what my point is. How could those who had seen, experienced, and survived the trumpet judgement managed still to side with the antichrist and have taken the mark of the beast? Was the Deception and Delusion so great to ignore the horrific experience? The Locusts are supernatural beings, they are demons from the pit. If the 200 million army is from God, they should have repented and not taken the mark. If it is from satan, they should flee and try to avoid the mark. Remove the trumpet judgement in the great tribulation and you will see it would be a lot more easier for satan to deceive the unbelievers even the elect, if it is possible.

            Seals 1 to 5 happens from Ascension to Second Advent.

            Seal 6 is the Great Tribulation, Bowls Judgement, Rapture/Resurrection of 144k & Multitudes, Fall of Babylon, Armageddon, Second Advent

            Seal 7 is the Millennium, Trumpet Judgement at the end of the Millennium, White Throne Judgement, New Heaven and New Earth

          • Your version seems so convoluted to me that I cannot see how you even came to it. I see so many problems with what you are saying that there is no point in debating it. It will play out as it is supposed to.

          • Just give me a complete explanation with with supporting scriptures (old and new testament) why the beast that came/ascended out of the bottomless pit in Rev. 11:7, is not satan who came out of the abyss at the end of the millennium.

            If it is the antichrist, tell me where in scripture that it said that there is a man that dwells or were imprisoned in the abyss or bottomless pit, and just waiting for his appointed time to come out of it.

            If it is some other angel, please explain even more.

          • If you want my explanation of all the events of Revelation, then you’ll have to go read my blog as explaining it here would take a blog’s worth of explanation. I offered it once before, but here it is again. endtimesstudies.blogspot.com.

            It is a chronological Bible study from pertinent Scriptures from Genesis through the O.T. and N.T. and the entire book of Revelation, so you have to go to the archives to find any particular verse. If you really want my answers to your questions, you’ll find them there.

          • The seven seals. The seven trumpets and the seven vials (bowls) are all different time tables with different details of the same account.
            The seven seals are a description from about 384AD to the second coming of Christ.
            The seven Trumpets are a more detailed description from about 100 years ago to the second coming of Christ.
            The seven vials or bowls are the least detailed description or shortest version from about the time of the mark of the beast to the second coming of Christ.
            There is also an account of the prophecy in which Jesus spoke of in Matthew about the wheat and the tares. The sickle harvest (the people that don’t take the mark). The sickle grapes and vines ( the doers of iniquity).

  35. Does anybody think that if turkey keep the damn shut like it is now that the Euphrates may dry up. I know its the trumpet when sounded makes it happen but our God is an on time God for sure. Does anybody think that if the river dries up it will b time that the kings that are supposed cross Euphrates and the 4 angels bound will b loosed if the river is dried up ? On news it says turkey closed damn completelty and Syria is running outta water from Euphrates

  36. Oh, I forgot to
    mention the four angels at the corner (Rev. 7:1) were waiting for a certain
    period till they were released. They waited also 491 years and two weeks till all
    the servants of God were sealed ((Rev. 9:15, and the rule: a day for a year in the
    prophetic Word (in Numbers or Ezekiel)).

    God bless

  37. Thank you for your comment.
    What do you mean by chronically speaking? Do you mean it is in an earlier chapter of the Word that is why you do not believe they are belonging together? That clearly would not suffice your point since there are many repetitions in Revelation and throughout the Bible. These repetitions emphasize the same point from different perspectives. E.g. That the Father God made everything! That Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord! What about the 1260 years prophecy? What about the beasts in Daniel chapter 7 and 8 and Revelation 13? What about the churches, seals and trumpets: are these not repetitions?

    A brother in Christ

    • Hi Angelo, I agree with ur perspective of repetition and allowing the Word to interpret itself. Due to this, I don’t think we can know whether they are the same four angels or not. In chapter 7 they are given to hurt the.earth and sea, in CH 9 the four angels are for saying a third part of mankind. Are they connected, maybe but we simply don’t know. God bless brother

      • Hi Mike en Angelo,

        Rev. 2 to 11 is a repeat of Rev. 12 to 21 viewed in a different perspective (heaven first, then earth’s?)

  38. Dear Wayne,

    Would you really like to know what the bible tells about the
    future? Then let the Word interpret itself: Did you notice in Revelation 7 these same four angels are charged to wait until the people of God are sealed. Are these four angels not bringing the wrath of God to humankind????

    God bless

    Rico

  39. I don’t think so. We don’t know how many cherubim guarded the tree of life/Garden of Eden while we know four angels will be released from the Euphrates River. The angels in Revelation 9 appear to be evil since they’re bounded the same way Satan will be bounded during the 1000 years. I don’t think evil angels would be trusted to guard the Garden of Eden/tree of life like the cherubim were.

    • I don’t believe ‘bound’ means imprisoned, or some such same fate as Satan. I believe when St. John says ‘bound’, it his his antiquated terminology for ‘kept in stasis’.

      • The word used in both examples is deo…it is only used in those two examples to describe a forced binding or restraint.

  40. In Genesis the Lord put Cherubims in that region (Euphrates River) to protect the garden. He also said he put a sword of light to protect the garden (Eden). The description of the angles in revelations is that of Cherubims. Could they be the same?

  41. I’m still researching the conflict that these angels may cause.  I don’t expect these angels to be let loose until the latter part of the 70th week of Daniel.  I don’t think any near-term conflicts that arise in the region will be caused by them.

  42. The four angels can be synonymous with the four countries that the Euphrates River runs through which are Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and borders Iran. The four angels are evil angels and indicate four evil spirits that represent the each of the four countries. It looks as though these angels are on the verge of being released and the great war is about to begin.

    • One angel is ISIS and it is released. The wrath of Iran is yet to be released., and the last one is turkey,which is believed to be the seat of Satan during end times

    • THE FOUR ANGELS REPRESENT THE COUNTRIES LOCATED TO THE EAST,WEST, NORTH, AND SOUTH. THESE COUNTRIES WILL JOIN TOGETHER AND IT WILL NOT LOOK GOOD.

    • Crap. Angels are not ‘nations’. Angels are very specific in the Bible. Stop with this appalling modern exegesis. It’s ignorant.

      • This is not a “modern” interpretation at all and you should actually research the bible more before you call others ignorant. Angels represent and watch over nations throughout the Bible. In Deuteronomy 32:8 “When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.” See Psalm 82 for what “Sons of God” means. Daniel 12:1 says that the angel Michael watches over Israel as the nation’s guardian angel. Daniel 10:13 mentions an angel being delayed by the “Prince of Persia” but being assisted by Michael. The “Prince of Persia” could not have been an actual man, how could a man delay one of God’s angels?

        • The term ‘Nation’ is mostly, a modern invention.

          At root, ‘Nationalism’ is Biblical Idolatry, as it is pure worship of the Babylonian god, Moloch.

          Historically, there were ruling, familial Tribal groups, ‘City States’ and Royal Bloodlines that ruled and reigned over the Earth.

          The Greek word ‘Natio’ carried a definite blood related and family quality.

          Beyond that meaning, ‘Nations’ in the modern use and definition of the word, did not exist.

          So, ‘Nick’ is correct.

          Israel is NOT a Nation. It is however a group of blood related tribes.

  43. Question for my own understanding: Do you see the “judgment of the great day” in Jude (and the judgment in Peter) as the White Throne Judgment where they will be judged, not the Day of the Lord judgment on the earth where they could be used to judge the earth?

    • THIS WILL BE ONE DAY JUDGMENT. REMEMBER THAT ONE THOUSAND YEARS MAY MEAN ONE DAY IN THE EYES OF THE LORD. RTN.REV.DR.MARTINS. MINISTER OF RELIGION.

    • You did not really say anything in this article. You guessed the 4 angels were bound in different places but it is more likely they are released to judge the earth AND to be judged. The ABYSS is in the Persian Gulf which was the path of the ancient Euphrates. YHWH sets the parameters as to what they can and cannot do. They remain under the control of YHWH. They are the true Hells Angels.
