  1  At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falls from
    heaven, to whom is given the key to the bottomless pit.
 2  He opens the pit, and there come forth locusts like
    scorpions.
12  The first woe past.
13  The sixth trumpet sounds.
14  Four angels are let loose, that were bound.

   * Re 13:5,7 Da 5:18-22; 7:6 Joh 19:11
- they should not.
  That is, should not kill them as a political body, state, or
  empire; and accordingly, however they desolated the Greek and
  Latin churches, they could not extirpate them, nor gain
  possession of the empire.

   * Re 11:7 Job 2:6
- they should be.
   * :10
- five.
  Five prophetical months, each consisting of 30 days, and each
  day denoting a year, amount to 150 years; and accordingly,
  from the time that Mohammed began to propagate his imposture
  A.D. 612, the building of Bagdad, when they ceased from their
  ravages, A.D. 763, are just 150 years.

- and their.  See on ver.

- horsemen.
   * Eze 23:6; 38:4 Da 11:40
- I heard.
   * Re 7:4


VERSE 17 
 - having.
  This appears to point out the scarlet, blue and yellow colors,
  for which the Turks have always been remarkable.  The 'four
  angels bound in the Euphrates' denote their four sultanies
  bordering on that river, where they were confined till after
  the period of the Crusades.  The time for which they were
  prepared, 'an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,'
  computing a year for each day, amounts to 391 years, 15 days;
  and from their first conquest over the Christians, A.D. 1281,
  to the taking of Cameniec from the Poles, A.D. 1672, which was
  the last conquest by which their dominion was extended, is
  exactly that period.

VERSE 20 
 - And the.
  That is, those of the Latin and Greek churches, who escaped
  destruction, still persisted in their idolatrous worship of
  demons, etc.

- yet.
   * :21; 2:21,22; 16:8 De 31:29 2Ch 28:22 Jer 5:3; 8:4-6 Mt 21:32
