Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 9 is a prophecy predicting the fall of Ottoman power and independence. Its first period of 150 years was counted to the accession of Deacozes, and the following period of 391 years and fifteen days was calculated to end on August 11, 1840. On that date Turkey accepted the protection and came under the control of European powers, an event taken as the fulfillment of the prediction. The verse itself has no separate explanation apart from this prophetic application of its chapter.
