“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
Revelation 9:1 KJV
When the fifth celestial messenger blew his trumpet, I saw a Star that had fallen to earth from the sky. The Star was given the key into the fathomless depths of the abyss. The number five is divine grace - grace and truth came through Jesus. He is the bright Morning Star Who appeared on the horizon of our heart. In His death, Jesus conquered the underworld and has the keys, no one else does! His being God’s equal in form and likeness was official; His Sonship didn’t steal the limelight from His Father! Neither did His mankind distract from the deity of God! His mission to earth was not to prove His deity, but to embrace our mankind. Emptied of His reputation as God, He fully embraced our physical human form; born in our resemblance, He identified Himself as the servant of the human race. His love enslaved Him to us! Worthy to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Amen!
