Revelation 9:12
10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
11 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.
The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
13 Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
