Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this:
This phrase introduces a vivid and symbolic vision, typical of apocalyptic literature. The imagery is not meant to be taken literally but to convey deeper spiritual truths. The vision is part of the series of judgments unleashed by the sounding of the sixth trumpet, emphasizing the severity and divine origin of these events.

The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur:
The breastplates symbolize protection and readiness for battle. The colors—fire, sapphire, and sulfur—are significant. Fire often represents judgment and purification in Scripture (e.g., Malachi 3:2-3). Sapphire, a blue stone, can symbolize heaven or divine revelation (Exodus 24:10). Sulfur, or brimstone, is associated with divine wrath and destruction (Genesis 19:24). Together, these colors suggest a divine and fearsome force executing judgment.

The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions:
Lions are symbols of strength, power, and ferocity (Proverbs 30:30). The lion-like heads of the horses indicate the terrifying and unstoppable nature of this judgment. This imagery may also connect to the lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), suggesting that the judgment is under Christ's authority.

and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur:
The elements of fire, smoke, and sulfur are reminiscent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-28), symbolizing complete and utter devastation. This triad of destructive forces indicates the comprehensive nature of the judgment. Fire purifies and consumes, smoke obscures and suffocates, and sulfur is a symbol of divine wrath. This imagery underscores the seriousness of the consequences for those who oppose God.

Teaching Points
Symbolism of Judgment
The vivid imagery in Revelation 9:17 serves as a powerful reminder of God's righteous judgment. Believers are called to live in a way that honors God, knowing that His justice will ultimately prevail.

Spiritual Warfare
The description of the riders and horses highlights the reality of spiritual warfare. Christians are encouraged to put on the full armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6, to stand firm against spiritual forces of evil.

Urgency of Repentance
The destructive elements of fire, smoke, and sulfur underscore the urgency for repentance. This passage calls believers to examine their lives and turn away from sin, seeking God's forgiveness and grace.

Hope in Christ's Victory
While the imagery is daunting, it ultimately points to the victory of Christ over evil. Believers can find hope and assurance in the promise of Christ's return and the establishment of His eternal kingdom.(17) And thus I saw . . .--Better, And after this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who sat upon them, having breastplates fiery and jacinth-like, and brimstone-like, and the heads of the horses were as heads of lions; and out of their mouths goeth forth fire and smoke and brimstone. The seer proceeds to describe the general appearance of the horses and horsemen. After this fashion were they: the horses and horsemen were armed with breastplates of triple hue (corresponding to the three-fold destructive stream which goes forth from their mouth), the hues of flame, and dark purple (jacinth), and brimstone. The jacinth colour seems to be the dark purple or blue so often seen in smoke. The Poet Laureate uses the word "azure" to describe the colour of ascending columns of smoke ("azure pillars of the hearth arise to thee"): the colour here would be darker, the smoke not arising from peaceful dwellings, but generated among death-giving elements. The army is mainly of horsemen, and they are described as resolute and relentless: we are reminded of somewhat similar features in the Chaldean armies spoken of by Habakkuk, "I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation: they are terrible and dreadful: their horses also are swifter than leopards," &c. (Habakkuk 1:6-10).

Verse 17. - And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them. That is, according to the description following, not "thus, in such numbers as I have described." Having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone. Ἔχοντας, "having," probably refers to both horses and riders, though it may refer to the riders only. The Revised Version renders jacinth more exactly as hyacinth. Alford translates, "breastplates, fiery red, fuliginous, and sulphureous." It seems to be rightly concluded that the hyacinhine hue answers to the "smoke" further on in the verse. "The expression, 'of jacinth,' applied to the breastplate, is descriptive simply of a hyacinthine, i.e. dark-purple colour" (Smith's 'Dictionary of the Bible'). The description intensifies the terrible nature of the vision, and it is doubtful whether these details should be pressed to a particular interpretation. If they bear any meaning at all, they seem to point to the doom in wait for the wicked, whose portion is fire and brimstone (cf. Psalm 11:6). And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone; proceedeth fire, etc. (Revised Version). Here, as in the preceding clause, the intention is evidently to enhance the terrible appearance of the vision. The "smoke" corresponds to the hyacinth hue, mentioned in the previous part of the verse (vide supra). The horses, in accordance with a well-known poetic figure, are said to breathe out "fire and smoke." Brimstone is mentioned in addition, in order to set forth plainly the fact that their acts are directed against the wicked (cf. Genesis 19:24; Job 18:15; Psalm 11:6; Ezekiel 38:23; Isaiah 30:33; Luke 17:29). Lions' teeth are mentioned in the description of tire locusts, with the same purpose (ver. 9). It is difficult to see why Alford should imagine that the fire, smoke, and brimstone proceed separately from different divisions of the host: it was not so in the case of the breastplates.
