The Announcement of Two Woes Revelation 9:12
With the first woe now past, (Revelation 8:13) we are
informed that the next two woes are still to come. As
serious and fearful as the first woe is in its torment, it
is only the first. The worst is yet to come. As we shall see
in the second woe and have seen in the first, the true
character of Satan in all his evil and cruelty is unmasked,
in these two woes the depravity and rebellion of the human
heart is revealed. This will especially be seen in this
second woe.
The Sixth Trumpet and Second Woe Revelation 9:13-21
The Voice from the Four Horns of the Golden Altar
(Revelation 9:13)
This is the same altar mentioned in 8:3 in the scene of the
offering of incense with the prayers of the saints. The
voice is probably that of the priestly angel and the
implication is that this judgment like the preceding is in
answer to the prayers of the saints persecuted by the beast.
