At the sounding of the 5th trumpet, a horrible judgment is unleashed upon the earth. Demonic spirits from the abyss, Spirits mat are so vile tney nave been chained there for centuries, are set free. This great multitude of strange and evil things from the Bottomless Pit will strike terror in the hearts of men as they pour forth "like smoke from a great furnace that darkens the sun and air." They have been given the power to torment the unrepentant inhabitants of earth for five months "with the power of scorpions that striketh a man." "In these days men, in agony, will seek death and shall not find it, and desire to die and death shall flee from them." The scriptures further state these mysterious, malignant demons of the abyss have a king, whose name is Apollyon, which means the destroyer. Hell has now come to earth.
