The 6th and next to the last trumpet plague {Rev 9:13-21}will probably come toward the end on the Great Tribulation and 200 million {not 200,000} riders on horses will kill one third of mankind {Aprox 2 billiion 300 million of the lost}.
Rev 9:13-17a,18: The 6th angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. It said to the 6th angel..."Release the 4 angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." And 4 {Heavenly} angels who had been kept ready for this very hour...were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was 200 million, The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this....A third of mankind will be killed by the 3 plagues of fire smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths."
The lost will also be killed by fire that will come out of the mouths of Moses and Elijah as per Rev 11:5}
Who will be the 200 million mounted troops on horses who will be commanded by 4 of God's angels?? in Rev 9:16-19??
God's saints will follow Jesus on horses on the Last Day as per Rev 19:14.
My guess is the 200 million will be 200 million Tribulation Martyrs who will be with Jesus in Heaven during the Great Tribulation. See Rev 6:10-12 & Rev 7:9,14,15.
Revelation 6:9-12: "When He {Jesus} opened the 5th seal, I saw under the ALTAR {See Rev 9:13b!!} the souls:rolleyes: of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. "They:rolleyes: called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the in- habitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them were given a WHITE ROBE {See Rev 7:9,11,14}, and they were told to wait a little longer until the number of their fellow servants {200 million??} who were to be killed as they had been was completed!!":angel:
No one really knows who the army will be, and God doesn't tells us... all we know is what John states that he "HEARD" the number of the 200 million army of horsemen, and this is literally...because he then saw them in a vision.
But all theologians and people can do is guesstamate and speculate as to who the army will be:laugh:... all we can do is pray that we all be ready when Jesus comes, and be out spreading the gospel to the lost for the kingdom of God... soon and very we will see and know who the army will be when Jesus does return. MARANATHA:glow::angel:
This army of 200 million is not China. China emerges in the battle of Armageddon. This judgment will occur before the battle of Armageddon. We are talking about 200 million demons let loose upon this earth to literally kill one third of the people that are still left on it!
Remember, one fourth of mankind has already been killed in the fourth seal judgment. With one third now being killed in this trumpet judgment, 58% of the world�s population will now have been killed after this judgment passes. And the most amazing thing occurs at the end of this verse � it says that the people who are still left on the earth watching and experiencing all of these horrors still refuse to repent and turn to God.
This is why I say no one really knows. Many interpreters try to say that the demons symbolic of a nation that will rise up this is why they say China and I've evn heard some say Russia,a nd China and Russia togather making up the 200 million.
If you would also look verse 2, of Revelation chapter 9,, we are told that bottomless pit is open and these things came out, and in verses 12-13, that the 200 million horsemen was the second woe from the bottomless pit, but many so-called interpreters of Revelation say the 200 million is China and some say Russia and I've heard it said by some say that this is both nations together.
This is why I try to understand as much as possible and all that God allows, and leave the rest to God. Not many can explain Revelation , because not many can understand the book of Daniel, and they both go together.
You will find all kinds of interpretations over the internet about both Daniels and Revelation, but there are some you can feel in your spirit that they are indeed bringing some light from the Lord in interpreting His prophecies, and others, it just passes me by with no understanding or clarity of anymore than what I already knew.:laugh:
WHO WILL BE THE 200 MILLION EXECUTIONERS ON HORSES THAT WILL KILL ONE THIRD OF MANKIND IN REVELATION?? 9:13-21??
The 6th and next to the last trumpet plague {Rev 9:13-21}will probably come toward the end on the Great Tribulation and then 200 million riders on horses will kill one third of mankind. This will also occur after there will be a great multitude of martyrs in heaven with white robes fellowshiping with Jesus as per Rev 7:9,14,15.
Because of the other wars and plagues that will occur before this 6th trumpet plague let us assume that there will be about 6 billion people alive on earth at this time. Then there will be about 2 billion people killed by these 200 million riders on horses or about 10 for each rider.
Rev 9:13-17a,18: The 6th angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. It said to the 6th angel..."Release the 4 angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." And 4 {Heavenly} angels who had been kept ready for this very hour...were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was 200 million, The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this....A third of mankind will be killed by the 3 plagues of fire smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths."
NOTE:The lost will also be killed by fire that will come out of the mouths of Moses and Elijah as per Rev 11:5.
Who will be the 200 million mounted troops on *HORSES* who will be commanded by 4 of God's angels?? in Rev 9:16-19??
NOTE: God's saints will also follow Jesus on *HORSES* {Rev 19:14}on the Last Day just after the Marriage Feast of the Lamb and they will destroy the armies of 666 as per Revelation 19:8-21
My guess is the 200 million will be 200 million Tribulation Martyrs who will be with Jesus in Heaven during the Great Tribulation. See Rev 6:10-12 & Rev 7:9,14,15.
Revelation 6:9-12: "When He {Jesus} opened the 5th seal, I saw under the ALTAR {See Rev 9:13b!!} the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. "They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them were given a *WHITE ROBE* {See Rev 7:9,11,14}, and they were told to wait a little longer until the **NUMBER**of their fellow servants {**200 million**??} who were to be killed as they had been was completed!!"
Rev 7:9,13,14,15a,17a: �After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from *EVERY* NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb {Jesus}. They were wearing *WHITE ROBES*�Then one of the {24} elders {Rev 4:4} asked me, �These in *WHITE ROBES*�who are they and where did they come from?�� And he said, �These are they who have come out of the Great Tribulation; {Martyrs just like Jesus} they have washed their robes and made them WHITE in the *BLOOD OF THE LAMB* {Jesus}. They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night... The Lamb {Jesus} at the center of the throne will be their Shepherd.�:applause::angel:
