The Scorpion-type plague called the Apollyon woe, will be one of the many woes God will plague the unbelievers with during the Trib. Period. You can read all about it in the Book of Revelation. :scripture

EEEWWWWW!!!!!!

I'm not afraid of mice, but seeing that many mice would be enough to change my fear level for the worse.

ICKY!!!

Back to the topic of this thread, and prophetically speaking...

In Revelation 9:3-11 (out of my copy of Dr. Jack Van Impe's Prophecy Bible) it talks about the 5th trumpet plague that will be unleashed upon the world during the Trib. Period, it describes fully about them.

Verse 3: And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
JVI: These are not literal locusts. Their power is too great. They are most likely fallen angels who have been restrained and imprisoned in the bottomless pit since their fall (described in Genesis 6). These wicked beings, chained in darkness all of these centuries (see II Peter 2:4), can hardly wait to begin their acts of evil. They are told what they can and cannot do.

Verse 4: And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
JVI: In Chap. 7, we saw multitudes sealed. The locusts/or fallen angels, are not allowed to touch the sealed, only the unsealed -- those who have worshiped the Beast and accepted his number 666. Note also that the locusts are not allowed to kill the unsealed (the unsaved). They are permitted only to torture them.

Verse 5: And to them it was given they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented 5-months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
JVI: What an agonizing period of time this will be!

Verse 6: And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
JVI: The next four verses give us a vivid description of these locusts/or fallen angels.

Verse 8: And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle [this speaks of strength and speed]; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold [this speaks of royalty; a picture of conquers], and their faces were as the faces of men [denoting intelligence].

Verse 9: And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron [picturing invincibility]; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle [denoting calamity].

Verse 10: And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
JVI: These facts reinforce the gruesome portrait of life upon earth as the pit of the abyss is opened and the convicts of the ages -- the fallen angels -- are released. The next verse clearly identifies the fallen star who is the leader of these perverted angels.

Verse 11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
JVI: This king is named in both Hebrew and Greek. Abaddon is Hebrew. The term, found only this one time in our English Bible, is found six times in the Hebrew Bible: Job 26:6; 28:22; 31:12; Psalm 88:11; Proverbs 15:11; and 27:20. The Greek form, Apollyon, means "the destroyer" -- a word that certainly describes Satan.

Verse 12: One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Ok, I would've had to burn my entire property! I cannot stand mice - not even those supposedly "cute" white ones. Mice are vermin no matter what color they are!
