Revelation Chapter 9:1-4

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a
star (fallen-star-graphene oxide -the jab) fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 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.

[(PIT: a grave (Psa 30:3). It is used as a figure for mischief (Psa 9:15), and is the name given to the unseen place of woe. Revelation 20:1)
(Psa 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.)]

3 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.

[(Scorpions Mentioned along with serpents (Deu 8:15). Used also figuratively to denote wicked persons,
(Dur 8:15 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
(Eze 2:6, And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.)
(Luke 10:19,-20
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; moreover, rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.)]

4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass
[(GRASS: it is used as an image of the brevity of human life (Isa 40:6-7)
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.
Isa 40:6-7
6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7.The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.)]
