This is a trilingual scriptural presentation of Revelation 9:1–21, displaying the Greek New Testament, the King James Version (with embedded Strong's concordance numbers), and the Latin Vulgate in parallel columns. The passage covers the fifth and sixth trumpet judgments from the Apocalypse: the fifth unleashes locust-like demonic creatures from the Abyss to torment unsealed humanity for five months, while the sixth releases four bound angels at the Euphrates who lead a cavalry of 200 million to kill a third of mankind. The locusts are described in vivid hybrid imagery — horse-bodies, human faces, women's hair, lion's teeth, iron breastplates — and are ruled by Abaddon/Apollyon, the angel of the pit. The passage closes with the grim observation that survivors of these plagues still refused to repent of idol worship, murder, sorcery, fornication, or theft. The trilingual format makes this primarily a text-critical or comparative study resource rather than devotional reading, useful for scholars tracking word choices across the Greek, Latin, and early modern English traditions.
