And the fifth angel sounded, and I discerned a fallen unto the earth star out from the heaven and it was given to him the key to the pit of the abyss. And he opened the pit of the abyss and up came smoke out from the pit as smoke of a furnace burning. And the sun and the air were darkened out from the smoke from the pit. And out from the smoke came locusts unto the earth and authority was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have authority. – Revelation 9:1-3
