Revelation 9:3

 

DailyBibleStudy.Org

 

 

3 And[kai] there came[exerchomai] out of[ek] the smoke[kapnos] locusts[akris] upon[eis] the earth:[ge] and[kai] unto them[autos] was given[didomi] power,[exousia] as[hos] the scorpions[skorpios] of the earth[ge] have[echo] power.[exousia]   KJV-Interlinear

 

 

3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.    NASB

 

 

The smoke came out from the Abyss.It did not come out from a volcano, or from some other natural phenomena.

 

Because of the negative and corrupt attitude of people toward God, the gates of hell, if you will, have now been opened.And it is not that people are simply turned off by the idea of God, but that they are continuing in their ways of corruption, crime, evil, sin, atrocities, and worse.

 

The creatures that come out of the smoke, which is coming out of the Abyss, are said to be locust like, and scorpion like.The locust symbolizes the vast numbers and vast destruction that they can inflict, and the vast area that they can cover, and the scorpion symbolism refers to the extreme pain that the sting of the scorpion can inflict.

 

They are going to be limited to their deeds.They will be restricted from harming any green plant, and they will be restricted to bringing harm to unbelievers only.

 

No animal has the capability of making those distinctions.

 

Their leader is a demon, and therefore we know that these creatures are demons coming out of the place where they have been incarcerated, namely the Abyss.

 

Not since the time of Noah, have fallen angels been seen in some physical form, in numbers such as these.But since humanity will be so stubborn and anti-God, then God is going to raise the limits of judgment and show people just how bad things can really get.

 

Like a horror movie gone bad, this is going to be a reality check, that people will not be prepared for.After all when was the last time that you have seen, actually seen, really bad demons? And the answer to that one is, never. Sure there will be those who think that they have seen the devil or have heard the voice of God, and such things, but since the canon of scripture has been completed with this final book from John, there has been no communication from God, except through the written word, and that will remain the case until the Tribulation.

 

Those who would disagree probably have a really good sense of imagination, or intuition, or they are ill, but in either case, our communication from God, in our current day, comes solely through the scriptures and from no other source.

 

With these demons, their power is granted to them from God.Jesus Christ controls history and everything else for that matter. They can only do, that which they are allowed to do and no more.
