These locusts are unusual and are special creatures on the earth, which have come out of the abyss and do not
hurt anything green including trees. We do know from Enoch 19 angels are capable of “assuming many different
forms” and the fallen angels are capable of “defiling mankind and shall lead them astray.” The following verse says that
men will seek death but not find it and that they will long to die.
Revelation 9:6 “And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and

death flees from them.”
The next passage of scripture describes these creatures, which can assume many different forms.
Revelation 9:7-10 “The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their
heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.
8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of
chariots, of many horses rushing to battle.
10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five
months.”

Fallen Angels
Revelation says the fallen angels will sting mortal men on the earth with their scorpion like tails. The more
important aspect is that the angels are immortal beings, who cannot be destroyed by man. They cannot be killed
by weapons of war. It will not penetrate them and cause them death. They are everlasting beings who had
previously been held in eternal bonds until judgment according to Jude 6. Judgment has arrived on the earth.
With the earth darkened by smoke, fallen angels go to battle with tails like scorpions that sting
