His mouth. His countenance is described as the sun shining in its strength.

they are before the throne serving God and He dwells among them and

was given the key of the bottomless pit out of which smoke cam, that
darkened the sun and air. Out of the smoke came locust and to them was
given the power of scorpions on earth. They were commanded not to
harm any green thing (grass, trees) but to harm those who didn’t have the
seal of God on their foreheads. They were given authority to torment
them only for 5 months, although their torment was as that of a scorpion.

would flee from them.

Abaddon and in Greek - Apollyon.

horns of the golden altar before the throne of God, saying to the 6 th
angel to release the 4 angels at the great Euphrates. They were waiting
for that hour, and were released to kill a 3rd of the mankind.
200,000,000 was the number of the army of horsemen. They had
breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue and sulfur yellow, the head of
the horses were like heads of lions and out of their mouth came fire,
smoke and brimstone- by these plagues a 3rd of the mankind was killed.
The Sixth Trumpet: The Angels From The
Euphrates.

having heads, with them they do no harm. But those
who remained didn’t repent of their idolatry, sexual
immorality, murders, sorceries and thefts.
REVELATION 10: The Mighty Angel With The Little Book.
• John sees still another Angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud.
A rainbow on his head, his face like a sun, his feet like pillars of fire. He had a
little book open on his hand, He put His right leg on sea and left one on land.
He cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices. He was about to write but he heard
a voice from heaven to seal up the voices and not write. The angel raised up his
hand to heaven and swore by the Creator that there shouldn’t be anymore delay.
But in the days of the 7th angel, when he’s about to sound, God’s mystery
would’ve been done as He declared to His servants, the prophets.
John Eats The Little Book.

• John hears the voice from heaven again commanding him to

take the book out of the angel’s hand. He asks for the book to
the angel who tells him to eat it saying that it’ll be sweet as
honey but it’d be bitter in his stomach, it happened just as he
said. He tells John that he must prophesy again about many
peoples, nations, tongues and kings.
