Scripture: Revelation 9, As we begin Revelation 9, the 5th and 6th angel appear. A star falls from heaven to earth and he (Satan) is given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. Smoke arises from the pit, and with the smoke come the swarm of locust, who can be recognized as demons. They are instructed to leave alone the people of God, who have the seal on their foreheads. However, the others are to be tortured until they call for their own death. These demons appear to have power, but in fact are false and do not have the power of God. The sixth angel blows their trumpet and ushers in three plagues, and one-third of mankind are killed. In today's world there are false gods and worship of things that are temporal. In fact, Satan's victory would begin by claiming ownership of God's people on earth through His Church.
