I don't know why I
hadn't realized this before. In the end,
God is not only going to kill off His enemies, He is going to torture
them. Check this out.
Revelation 9:1-12(NKJV)
Then the fifth angel
sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the
key to the bottomless pit.
And he opened the
bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great
furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the
pit.
Then out of the smoke locusts
came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth
have power.
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.
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.
In those days men will seek
death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from
them.
The shape of the
locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of
something like gold, and their faces were
like the faces of men.
They had hair like
women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
And they had
breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many
horses running into battle.
They had tails like
scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.
And they had as king
over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name
Apollyon.
One woe is past.
Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
God is going to put
these people in such torment that they will want to die but won't be able
to. That sure is going to surprise all
those people who believe in Kumbaya Jesus, isn't it?
