Revelation 9:3

3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

A. Out of the smoke come locusts. Common in the summer time, great swarms of locust would literally march across acres, destroying all plants in their path.

B. There power was like the power of a scorpion. The sting of the scorpion would do great harm and cause a lot of pain, but was seldom fatal.

C. When man follows Satan, painful consequences will result.
