The star was given the key to open the abyss ... The fall of the czarism contributed to the establishment of the Provisional Government. This government let Bolsheviks (locusts) to act legally. It was therefore the "key" freeing them from the underground activity (abyss). The leading Bolsheviks came back from exile and from prisons.

 

 

Tsar Nicholas II abdicated on 2 March (15 March according to the new style) and nominated his brother, Grand Duke Michael-Alexandrovich as the next tsar. Duke Michael refused acceptance of imperial power the next day that is on 3 (16) March, nevertheless, the proper date of the fall of the czarism was, the most apparently the day 2 (15) March, because in this day the first cabinet of the Provisional Government emerged. (Encyclopaedia).

Smoke rose from the abyss ... Bolsheviks set about executing of the tactical line of the party and they immediately began propaganda against the Provisional Government. As a result of that was socialist revolution (smoke). The Bolshevism won finally when soldiers and sailors made an assault on the Winter Palace and captured it on the night of November 7, 1917.

"And power was given them [for locusts], as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. (...) And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months." (Rev. 9:3-5, 10).
 

 

 

 

The tormenting of people with venom ... The Scripture compares the prophet, which teaches of lies to a tail wriggling like an snake and able to all twists. (Isa. 9:15). The ideologists of the communism were instilling to the minds of the society of orthodox Russia the "scorpion's venom" that is the atheism to train them to their own aims. This venom was not bringing about the "death" of the people to make them useless for the new power. Just the opposite – despite some psychical sufferings in the result of rejection of the faith in God (the tormenting), they were becoming quickly the disciplined and obedient the soldiers of the atheistic army. These people who so easily succumbed to atheistic indoctrination, they were superficially thinking and poorly believing – so as biblical tares (Matt. 13:38). Sincere people did not suffer such losses, possessing rational (the seal on foreheads) and alive faith in God (greenness) – neither ordinary men (grass) nor prominent personalities (tree). Ruling themselves with the independent mind, they let "to burn down" in them the liking to the discredited secular-ecclesiastical power (Rev. 8:7) but they kept faith in God in their hearts.

Five months ... This is the temporal detail which confirms the accuracy of the understanding; "The Second Congress of Soviets decrees: all power in the localities shall pass to the Soviets of Workers..." (...) "(1917–18), the course of events marking the establishment of Soviet power in the USSR between October 25 (November 7), 1917, and February-March 1918 (...) The victorious march of Soviet power was summed up by Lenin in March 1918: 'In the course of a few weeks, having overthrown the bourgeoisie, we crushed its open resistance in civil war. We passed in a victorious triumphant march of Bolshevism from one end of a vast country to the other'" (The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 1979)

From the excerpts cited above it results, that the Bolshevik party won the power in the country in the sufficient degree within five months, that is, from November 1917 till March 1918 or according to the old style of the calculation – from October 1917 to February 1918.

"And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them." (Rev. 9:6).

The looking for the death. The people clamped down by the dictatorship of the proletariat were compelled to live in the new system, without the slightest possibility of the changing of created conditions. The possibility to quit these conditions, presented in symbol as the death, it was also taken back.

"And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unton gold, and their faces were as men's faces. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [teeth] of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war." (Rev. 9:7-9).

 

The similarity to horses ... The symbol of militant tenets making up the tractive force of the whole revolutionary organization.

The crowns like golden ... In the very assumption the idea similar to the conditions of the future Kingdom of God on the earth.

The faces like human faces ... The idea for people's good.

The long hair like women's hair ... Samson's long never shaved hair were the source of his power. The long hair beautifies the woman. Similarly, invariable programme of communists, favourable for the lowest and the most numerous class of the society was a such "charming cover" of this movement. Owing to this programme the "locusts" had the wide support of the people, what was tantamount with the unrestricted power and reaching far (how the long hair).

 

 

 

 

Teeth like lions' teeth ... The means to crush every resistance.

Breastplates like iron ... The iron justice (Eph. 6:14) – "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Drastic methods of putting communist ideas into practice were triggering many of accusations, however all the arrows of such charges against them were bouncing effectively off the iron armour of the social justice. The dawn of the Great Jubilee of the world has began since 1874 and that is why all rich men have to pay the amount due for the poor, or have to give back what they extorted. (Lev. 25:8-10; Matt. 19:24-26).

 

 

 

The wings, horses, combat chariots ... The symbols of the quick and efficient organization, which Lenin has created in the brilliant manner.

 

 

"They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon." (Rev. 9:11).

Abaddon, Apollyon ... The destroyer means. The Bolshevik party became the king Abaddon when had assumed the kingdom in the October revolution 1917. This party along with destructive locusts is assigned to the total overthrow of the old world.
