This podcast explains the meaning of the key used by the fifth trumpet angel in Revelation 9:1 to open the bottomless pit at the start of the First Woe to release evil spirits on the earth. The identity of the fifth angel is discussed, with Michael the archangel as the most likely identity for this angel. Chist is the ultimate keyholder over the bottomless pit and evil spirits are unleashed on earth only because Jesus Christ allows it to be so to fulfill his purposes.
