"Then the 5th angel sounded, and I saw a

star from heaven which had fallen to the

earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was

given to him.
He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke

went up out of the pit, like

the smoke of a great furnace;

and the sun and the air were

darkened by the smoke of the

pit.

Then out of the smoke came

locusts upon the earth,

and power was given them,

as the scorpions

of the earth have power.. . ."

Revelation 9:1-3
