David C. Pack. Revelation Explained at Last!

Verses 13-21 describe the second woe. Open your Bible and read these verses. In them, an army of 200 million “horsemen” attacks and temporarily repels the European system led by the final super-dictator known as the “beast.” These eastern hordes (Ezek. 25:4, 10), probably led by Russia or China, and allied with India and Japan, compose the 200-million-man army.

The prophet Ezekiel describes the same events of Revelation 9:13-21, revealing more: “And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords...and you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army” (38:4, 15). (Also see Joel 2:4.)

The reference to horses and horsemen is obviously a representation of an immense army. Yes, 200 million is certainly “a mighty army.” In all likelihood, this is an attack by the Russian and Northern Asian hordes (armies) against what is called the Beast and Babylon (Rev. 17 and 18). Jeremiah 50 and 51 and Isaiah 13 and 14, and 47 and 48 describe this coming system and its destruction.

Forces on earth are forming even now, so they can come into play at the right moment within God’s Plan!
