revelation 9:5
5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
In context:
1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

At one time the JWs thought THEY were the locust coming out of the pit!
The message they would deliver would torment the clergy!
Some witnesses would even sign their letters with "Your fellow locust"
These people believed anything they were told by Judge Rutherford.
The joke was on them!

I have no idea.
I did find something interesting about LOCUS, though. And it has to do with genetics. Which I think plays a big part in all of this. (The fallen angels screwed with our genetics).
I wonder if these Locus coming up out of the pit are the return of these fallen angels...like "as in the days of noah". I wonder if they will make an appearance.
We are approaching The Ten Days of Awe and the Shekinah is supposed to appear at the end of days. Not sure how all this works; just trying to put it together.
I think a lot of this is about genetics. Did you know too that Cherubimism is a genetic disorder?
I keep finding evidence of genetic themes throughout.
