(v.1) Is this star Satan? It sure seems like it, since he unleashes the demons who make war with mankind. Demons or Satan can't kill us, but they can tempt and lead us to desire sin and evil so much, that one day, we will seek death than endure the torment we are under.
(v.5) Your kids might find it interesting, that five months is the time that the rain and flooding lasted in the Flood of Noah. Again, the end times will mirror events in the Old Testament! God has already called His Church, so He is speaking to the Jews...they missed the signs the first time, but they will finally get it the second time!
(v.9) Scholars believe that John was seeing modern-day war helicopters, that have fangs painted on them, and inflict much damage. If we think about it, John had no concept of airplanes or helicopters, so these things were metal, but looked like locusts and birds to him.
(v.15) One third of the earth's population (approximately 1 billion people) were killed in the opening of the seals Rev 6:8, and now another billion will die from this! Like Jesus said many times, the end days will be like no other in history! Aren't you grateful that we have His Word to know Him, and to give our lives to Him now?!?
(v.20) This is one of the saddest parts in the Bible to me...even after all this death and destruction, people's hearts are so hard that they won't accept God's offer of forgiveness.
