New Testament · Revelation 9:7–9
Locusts like horses in armor
EvidenceDocumentedThe text exists and is quoted from a published translation. What it describes is a separate question.
What this means
Primary records exist: an original document, a published text, an official file or a dated report. We link to them. This level says the record exists and what it says, not that every claim in it is true.
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle… And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Translation: KJV
