       Continuing in Revelation 9 about these locusts: “In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come” (7-12, ESV). These supernatural creatures from the bottomless pit, some form of a demon possibly, are eager to get on with the destructiveness—their torment. They are ready as horses are for battle time. John described them as wearing crowns. This could show their superiority to human beings, since they are supernatural creatures with supernatural strength.
