Revelation
Chapter: 9
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
6 of 21
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
7 of 21
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
8 of 21
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
9 of 21
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
10 of 21
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
11 of 21
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
12 of 21
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
13 of 21
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
14 of 21
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
15 of 21
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.
16 of 21
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
17 of 21
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
18 of 21
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
19 of 21
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
20 of 21
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
21 of 21
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
22 of 21
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
23 of 21
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
24 of 21
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
25 of 21
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

BIBLE CANON: 5
A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.
These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.
1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON
140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

Revelation was REJECTED (0%) by Marcion Canon
(No mention; no quotes; opinion unknown)
2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON
170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.
It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

4. Cheltenham/ Mommsen List | BIBLE CANON

The Cheltenham or Mommsen List is a Latin manuscript discovered by the German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen (published 1886) which probably originated in North Africa in the 4th century.
It has 24-book Old Testament and 24-book New Testament which omits Jude and James, and perhaps Hebrews, and questions the epistles of John and Peter.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
