August 17 2009 - Demonic Attack

Meditation on Revelation 9

The Scriptures tells us that Satan has power to hurt people when God allows him to do so. (e.g. Job 1:12-19).Satan's kingdom has ranks and files. (Ephesians 6:12) So during the time of the great tribulation, we see the great forces of Satan's followers at work. When the fifth trumpet sound, one of the fallen angels came down to open the bottomless pit. And great smoke came out which darken the sun and the air. With it came demonic locusts with stings that can hurt men who would not have the seal of God on their forehead. But they will not be permitted to kill anyone except to torment them with extreme pain for five months. These locusts will be like an army led by a specific general whose name means destroyer in Hebrews and in Greek. (v. 1-12)

Then the sixth trumpet sound, the four demonic angels who have the territory around the river Euphrates will be released to kill a third of mankind. They would arouse two hundred millions of horseman to cause three deadly plagues through fire, smoke and brimstone out of their mouths. The tails of these horses are like snakes with head to harm people.

Even with these devastating judgments, most people on earth at that time would not repent their sins of idol worship, demon worship, murders, sorceress, immoralities, and thefts. How sad it is!
