6th Trumpet of Revelation_Army to Kill a Third of Humanity. Rev. 8:1-13;9:1-21there are the four fallen angels set loose. Three facts are given about their being loosed.They are set loose by a command coming from the golden altar. This is the altar of incense where the prayers of God’s people are kept.The four released angels are bound at the great river Euphrates.The four fallen angels are four specific angels. As will be seen in a few moments, they will be four angels of high military rank.Why would the angels come from the Euphrates? Scripture does not say, but two reasons seem likely.The head or spring of the Euphrates river flowed out of the garden of Eden. It was there, of course, where Satan first tempted and overthrew man. The first sin that resulted in the fallen human race took place at the head of the Euphrates river. It was also there that the first murder took place and it was in the region of the Euphrates that the first organized rebellion against God took place. The Euphrates was the western boundary of the promised land that God promised to Abraham.Therefore, beyond the Euphrates can be looked upon as the outer reaches of the earth, as the place where the spiritual enemies of man are kept.The four fallen angels were loosed and they prepared to execute a judgment upon the earth: the judgment of slaying one third of the ungodly and evil population of the world. Remember why: because the billions upon earth will follow and give their total allegiance and support to the antichrist and the policies of his government. One of the major policies will be the holocaust launched against the believers of the world. Literally millions will be slaughtered.
