"And the fifth angel

sounded, and I saw a

star fall from heaven

unto the earth: and to

him was given the key

of the bottomless pit.

And he opened the bottomless pit; and

there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the

smoke of a great furnace; and the sun

and the air were darkened by reason of

the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts

upon the earth: and unto them was

given power, as the scorpions of the

earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they

should not hurt the grass of the earth,

neither any green thing, neither any

tree; but only those men which have

not the seal of God in their foreheads."

Revelation 9:1-4
