REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Three - The Second Woe -Armies of Calvary - Continue

 What is the source of the second woe?  John writes: "And the sixth angel blew his trumpet.  And I heard a voice come out of the horns of the golden altar that is before God say to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: 'Untie the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.'" ( Revelation 9:13, 14)  The angel' release in answer to the voice that comes from the horns of the golden altar. This is the golden incense altar, and twice previously the incense  of the golden bowls from this altar has been associated with the prayers of the holy ones. (Revelation 5:8; 8:3, 4) Therefore, this one voice represents the united prayers  of the holy ones on earth.  They petition that they themselves be delivered  for further energetic service as Jehovah's "messengers," this being he basic meaning of the Greek word here translated "angels." Why are there  four angels? This symbolic number seems  to indicate that they would be so organized as to cover the earth in its entirety. - Compare REVELATION 7:1; 20:8.
