Now the Taste of Hell God Gives Humanity:
Today in Rev. 9:3-12, we get an unusual, and very disturbing glimpse of the unspeakable horrors that are to come, for each person who dies with their sin unjustified. Rev. 9 is what may be seen as a glimpse into, or even a taste of Hell.
Note first, the reminders of the horrors of unabated suffering with me:
LESSONS FROM THE DEMONS’ LAUNCH: HELL IS ENDLESS TORMENT
(Revelation 9:3-6, NKJV) Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
God first points us the launch of these monsters from the pit. Through this launch, we learn four great spiritual truths.
Picture what the world would be like if we were to open the doors of all the penitentiaries of earth and set free the world’s most vicious and violent criminals, giving them full reign to practice their infamies upon mankind. Something worse than that lies in store for the world. Satan, cast out of heaven, is now permitted to summon to his aid the most diabolical fiends in the abyss to act as his agents in bringing mankind to the footstool of the Beast. (John Phillips, Exploring Revelation, rev. ed. [Chicago: Moody, 1987; reprint, Neptune, N. J.: Loizeaux, 1991], 125)
First, in v. 3: God shows us Supernatural locusts with power to torment that remind us of the torments coming in Hell. The locusts are strikingly similar to what Joel prophesies about in his prophecy about the Day of the Lord in Joel 1:4; 2:1-6 (NKJV):
