7-11 The locusts looked like horses ready for war. They had gold crowns, human faces, women’s hair, the teeth of lions, and iron breastplates.
strange imagery. I can't imagine what he is describing, other than the weirdest looking creature ever.
“Don’t hurt the grass, don’t hurt anything green, don’t hurt a single tree—only men and women, and then only those who lack the seal of God on their foreheads.”
This caught my attention. I remember reading about the mark of the beast on the forehead of people. Now here is the seal of God. What the heck are they talking about? What are these marks? How can I get one?
20-21 The remaining men and women who weren’t killed by these weapons went on their merry way
wait.....what? So, the people have endured a time of locusts stings like a scorpion....now they survived these nutty horses killing a third of the people. The way you describe their attitude after surviving all of that is.....they "went on their merry way." That is complete KRAAZY!

i'm struggling for the lessons here, there are many people who have their picture of the images described out in Google land. Maybe the lesson is you don't want to end up on the wrong side of the ledger and this is trying to give the worst images possible for our human minds to consume about what it will be like for those who do not believe.
