The Woe's

May 17, 2026    Nathan Smalley

In Revelation 9, the trumpet judgments intensify into the terrifying “Woes” as the abyss is opened and demonic forces are unleashed upon the earth. In this episode of The Living Logos, we explore the biblical reality of hell, the origin and nature of demons, the fallen angel Abaddon/Apollyon, the Nephilim of Genesis 6, and the spiritual warfare unfolding behind the scenes of human history. Drawing connections between Revelation, Genesis, Joel, Isaiah, Jude, and 2 Peter, this study examines the demonic locusts of the first woe, the Euphrates-bound angels of the second woe, and humanity’s shocking refusal to repent even while facing divine judgment. More than an exploration of prophecy, this episode ultimately points to Christ as humanity’s only refuge from judgment and the One who delivers us from the reality of hell itself.
