Revelation 9:20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
In chapter 8 we saw the judgements of the trumpets coming one right after the other, wreaking havoc on the earth, then a pause of warning that things were about to get even worse. This chapter records the next two woes of judgments. The fifth one lasts for five months, affecting only unrepentant mankind, making them wish they were dead. The sixth trumpet brings in plagues that kill a third of mankind. After all this, we find the summary above: a refusal to repent of idolatry and immorality. Despite this double barrel of trumpet blasts and their accompanying woes, it is in the nature of most to refuse to give God, His Word, and His will their proper place, and refuse to change.
