|And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
|And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
|
|The fifth Messenger blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fall out of the sky to the earth. The key of the Abyss was given to him.
|
|This region is the special prison of [[demon]]s.

|
|They were ordered not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

|
|They had a king over them, who is the Messenger of the Abyss. His name in [[Hebrew]] is Abaddon, and in [[Greek]] is Apollyon.
|
|[[Hebrew]] '''אבדון''', [[Greek]] '''Απολλυων'''. Both names mean "Destroyer."

|And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
|
|The number of the cavalrymen were two hundred million; I heard that number.
|
|The Greek number is given as '''δισμυριαδες μυριαδων''', literally "two myriads of myriads." This is exactly how a Greek would say a number equivalent to two hundred million.

|And so I saw the [[horse]]s in the vision, and their riders. They had breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and of burning [[sulfur]]. The horses' heads were like [[lion]]'s heads, and out of their mouths poured fire and smoke and burning sulfur.

|And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
|And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
|
|The remainder of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not get their minds away from the works of their hands, and did not stop worshipping demons and idols of [[gold]] and [[silver]] and [[bronze]] and [[stone]], and [[wood], things that can neither hear nor see nor walk.

|Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
|Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
|
|Neither did they change their hearts away from their [[murders]], their drug abuses, their immoral sexual lifestyles, or their thefts.
|
|The Greek word rendered "sorcery" in the [[KJV]] is '''φαρμακεια''' (''pharmakeia''), from which come words like ''pharmacy'' and ''pharmaceutical'' and other words having to do with drugs. The word actually stood for the use and abuse of hallucinogenic substances to achieve altered states of consciousness.
