Hello, Friends:

There are 3 more short-answer questions that Bibleinfo.com asks in this section of the subject. Since their answers are short, I am going to combine them in this post for today.

And then starting tomorrow, I will probably only be posting the scripture in Revelation until July 10th, because my family will be here. 

 I hope you will join me for those readings each day.

So, with that in mind, thank you for your patience, and please read on: 

What happens to the righteous at the second coming?

At Jesus’ second coming the righteous dead will be raised to life and taken up to heaven along with the righteous who are still alive on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

Are the wicked destroyed by Christ’s coming?

When Jesus returns to earth the wicked who are left alive will call for the rocks and hills to fall on them because they cannot look upon the face of Christ (Revelation 6:15-17). The wicked will be destroyed with everlasting destruction because they did not know God or obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).

When will we get immortal bodies?

At the moment of Jesus’ second coming, at the last trump, the mortal bodies of the saved will be transformed and they will receive immortal bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Verse 11 — The King of the Locusts

• “They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit” — The “they” refers to the demonic locusts unleashed in Revelation 9:2–4. Unlike ordinary locusts (Proverbs 30:27), these have a king, showing they are supernatural beings under divine control Bible Hub.

• “His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon” — Abaddon means “ruin” or “destruction,” and Apollyon means “destroyer” Bible Hub. These names emphasize the nature of the ruler: a being of unrelenting devastation.

• Identity — The “angel of the Abyss” is a fallen angel or demonic leader confined in the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1–3). He is given authority temporarily to lead the locusts, but only within limits set by God Bible Hub+1.

• Purpose — The locusts’ torment is a divine judgment, not random destruction. They are told not to kill but to torment for five months, underscoring God’s restraint and the severity of the punishment for the unsealed godsbless.ing.

Verse 12 — The First Woe Passed

• “The first woe has passed” — This refers to the completion of the fifth trumpet’s judgment. The “first woe” is a symbolic term for the initial phase of God’s judgments, which began with the first trumpet and continued through the seven trumpets Bible Hub.

• “Behold…” — A call to attention, signaling that the event is over and that the reader should prepare for what comes next Bible Hub.

• “Two woes are still to come” — These correspond to the sixth trumpet (Revelation 9:13–21) and the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:14–15; 15–16), which bring even greater judgments Bible Hub.

Theological Significance

• Order of God’s Judgment — The sequence of “woes” shows God’s judgments unfold in a precise, foretold order, each escalating in severity Bible Hub.

• Divine Control — Even the demonic forces are under God’s authority; their actions are part of His sovereign plan Bible Hub.

• Call to Repentance — The completion of the first woe and the warning of more to come serve as a sobering reminder that God’s mercy is limited, and rebellion will lead to greater consequences Bible Hub.

In summary: Revelation 9:11–12 reveals that the demonic locusts’ torment is led by the angel of the Abyss, a supernatural ruler of destruction, and that the first phase of God’s judgments is complete. The “two woes still to come” point forward to even more severe judgments, underscoring the urgency of repentance before the final events.

God bless and have a wonderful day in Jesus!
