End Times Army: Two Hundred Thousand Thousands
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns
of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the
great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay
the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousands: and I heard the number of
them. Revelation 9:13-16
Revelation 9:16 mentions a massive army of 200 million. This is a
staggering figure even today—though possible given the world
population. Yet when this prophecy was written in the first century, the
entire global population was "about 300 million". For a very long time
the world population did not grow significantly . . . It took more than
1600 years for the world population to double to 600 million" (United
Nations, The World at Six Billion, 1998). So the idea of a 200-million-
man army was inconceivable—except to Bible prophecy, which
foretold it.
