People refuse repentance because they would rather be in the pit
Now look at how much God has packed into these 21 verses. This is why we could study this book all our lives and never run out of new truths and blessings.
1. LESSONS FROM THE DEMONS’ LOCATION (9:1–2, NKJV) Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
Questions a good student of the Bible would ask:
• Who is the fifth angel and why does he sound?
• Who is the star that falls from Heaven to Earth (he is referred to as a person by the next words “to him”)?
• Is there any reference to someone falling brightly and visibly from Heaven in other places in the Bible?
• Who has and can give out usage of the key to the bottomless pit? (Jesus in Rev. 1:17-18)
