“…out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. …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. …For their power is in their mouth and in their tails…and with them they do harm.” Revelation 9

The Apostle John wrote the Prophecy of the Revelation of Jesus Christ he was shown by the Holy Spirit in first century words about a twenty-first century environment.  He describes horrific times mankind has brought on themselves through their rejection of the ways of Christ; with the rebellious ways of man realized in conflict and their military weapons fulfilling the Prophecies of the Revelation.

In first century words the Prophecy can be describing twenty-first century military technology unleashed. Just as the locusts formed plagues as voracious flying destroyers bringing judgement upon mankind in ancient times as prophesied by the Prophets, these are airborne locusts in Revelation made of iron and loud with battle sound as flying destroyers bringing judgement. These airborne swarms of metal locusts have power like scorpions with the power in their mouth and tails to harm and destroy.

The skies over the Euphrates River in the Middle East are now getting crowded with airborne military weaponry of jets, helicopters, and drones filling the air. Just like metal locusts with their rapid fire guns in their mouth and various bombs in their tail to do harm. You frequently read of another country bringing their airborne attacks to Iraq and Syria: such as Russia and Iran, France, United States, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Britain, and more.

But just as locusts when crowded start swarming the skies, just watch, it will get even more crowded over the Euphrates River area. The military escalations by countries will continue until it’s like swarms of metal locusts with scorpion power in their mouth and tails to harm. The result is a Middle Eastern World War in the Euphrates River Area as prophesied in Revelation 9.
