11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is
Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.[1]
12The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.
13The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the
horns[2] of the golden altar that is before God. 14It said to the sixth angel
who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river
Euphrates." 15And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour
and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16The
number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.
17The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates
were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses
resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and
sulfur. 18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and
sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19The power of the horses was in their
mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with
which they inflict injury.
20The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not
repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and
idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or
walk. 21Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual
immorality or their thefts.


A possible interpretation is that the red, white and blue forces will be
responsible for the death of one third of mankind because its authorities are
unwilling to give up their lust for world domination. and will be unwilling to
give up nuclear deterrence and other weapons of war.
