One of the 'handiworks' or 'names' of mankind on earth in the last days was fiat money, through which the Treaty of Smithsonian and Jamaica Agreement were likened the foreshadowing opened Abyss, out of its gigantic furnace, locusts came down upon the earth and they were given power like that of scorpions (~like in the days of King Rehoboam who had evil intention in enslaving his own people with scorpion whips). In verse 4, Chapter 9 of the book of Revelation, they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. The locusts were symbolically representing an 'encrypted' prophesied-future-plague, and this 'allegorical-spiritual vision' explained why they did not harm the literal vegetation.
Those locusts were not referring to the literal-alien-locusts or the future genetically engineered species of insect, but merely the symbolic allegory of "fiat money" that has been enslaving the whole world. Prophet Isaiah revealed in Isaiah 46: 10 that " the Lord makes known the end from the beginning; from ancient times, the things that still not come." The Scriptural words such as "scorpions," "locusts," "face," and "horses" were the ancient biblical words which suggest slavery, plague, presence, and conferring strength for battles respectively. Isaiah 46:10 "...declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, “My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention...”
Dreadful economic collapses as revealed in Revelation 9:1-11 would someday be fulfilled, for a period of 5 months. "5-months" is the biological life-span of the locust, thus, its prophetic-symbolism unfolds the nature of that volatile fiat monetary (prone to injustices). The former fixed-exchange system that began at Bretton Wood in 1944 lasted for 27 years only, an its (propheshied as locust's lifespan) functionality had come to an end. Another 'locust's lifespan' of the 'name' (another form of monetary) had emerged, but it was under the same hegemony from the same Cabal nations. In other words, fiat monetary would not come to an end, unless it ceases its Covenant/Agreement, or else it eventually dies out to be the medium of "buying and selling" due to the future disastrous wars. The 'locust' whose 5-months life-span must die first, so that the slavery of 'scorpion whips' would come to an end. Thus, the word "5-months" does not define to be the exact literal 5-months period, but it rather unfolds the nature of 'monetary' (one of the manifestations of the beasts' names) which was the medium of 'buying and selling' for all nations. Its enslaving power upon humanity won't cease, as if likened to be that allegorical 5 months-life-span of a locust. It lasts till the covenant is no longer in operation! It lasts till the practicality of that agreed ('covenanted') monetary itself dies out to be the practical medium of "buying and selling." The 'name' which was sought after by the inhabitants of the earth in 'buying or selling' is the handiwork ('name') of the beast out of the earth : the 'monetary' encrypted as '666', and it would precede the great world war which was prophesied by St. John " I heard '200 millions troops' " from the voice of the Word. The coming collapse of the present 'monetary' system based on the vulnerable fiat money would presage that war. Money, ever since in the early 20th century had had financed two World Wars.
"Mammonism," the fiat money, had brought forth endless injustices, sufferings of life, and great distress for many nations. Since our philosophies of education were descended from the tree of knowledge, then our adhered precepts say that 'monetary' is the modern 'source of life;' money has replaced the biblical precept which reveals that the Lord's Pass Over is the Source of life. Thus, the 'locust-scourge' does not harm those who have the Seal of God. (See Rev.9: 1-6). The "Seal of God" means the presence of the Holy Spirit or the presence of the guardian angel. When fiat money becomes devalued or at worst, decommissioned, then only those who have strength in the presence of the Spirit of God that would see the meaning of life beyond the chaos and failures of the tangible realities of the wealth on earth.

In verse 7, it unfolds the truth about world conquest through the "money-creation-powers" because those locusts ("currencies") looked like horses in the battlefields (for battle). Classic philosophy of world conquest elucidates three prerequisites to be fulfilled namely military might, political powers and economic power. The plague of "the locusts" revealed in Revelation 9 points to the 3rd category of world-conquest; the devastation brought forth by the phenomenon of economic conquests. The diabolic scorpion stings would be manifested as evil economic maneuverings when the superpowers are ruled by the "tares."
The name of man or the "mission/handiwork" of the anti-Christ-rulers , called 666, void of Divine wills, would be crumbling against their own conglomerates on earth. Christ is the Word because His "name" is the Word of God (Rev.19: 13). We know how the Divine Spirit works in all planes of existences because he reveals his wills through the word of God. Therefore, Antichrist simply means anti-Word: unbelieving and opposing the Word that became human, Yeshua Mashiach. In our naked eyes, Antichrist may not even be seen as evil, but merely manifesting the complete-human-mission denying the Word. Those locusts were spewed out from the abyss; the abyss 'spells out' the 'mission' of the rulers on earth with adorable new tower of babel. The 'end' of the modern tower of Babel was made known from the 'beginning' of the 'tower of Babel' (Isaiah 46: 10; see Genesis 11). The centralized "mission" i.e. monetary is the heart-beat for the daily activities of "buying and selling," and it is centralized in every nation with their respective central banks. It has been coiling up the inhabitants of the earth since the creation of the mothers of all towers, 'the BIS, the world bank and the IMF.' It was preceded by the BIS; the rulers (the beasts out of the sea and the beast out of the earth) were both the professing believers and the non-believers as revealed by the visions of St. John in the book of Revelation.
In ancient times, the handiwork (name) of the wounded men was centralized at the tower of Babel, and they said "come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." Of course, the phrase "let us make bricks" does not intend to tell us anything about the history of brick-making, but it rather discloses the prophetic nature of the Words of God. The hearts of anti-Words (non-followers of God) men at Babel, therefore, did not yearn for the Manna from heaven. Their hearts were merely prophesied to be as sold out into "brick-making." "Brick-making" is, therefore, a prophetic phrase which means "life without believing in God" as the Source of life. They were "brick-makers or masons" building a tower with its top in the heaven. They were living their lives, as if they were the gods who decided their own fate and destiny. God or the Word of God was not included into the dictionaries of their lives. Today, those masons are, in fact, our own-selves. However, we are not worldwide centralized to make 'bricks.' We are centralized to be in the daily activities of "buying and selling." If you have the seal of God, then that means you are eating the Manna from heaven, and yet they are unable to disassociate themselves from the dictations of "buying and selling" because it was covenanted world-wide.

The weird locusts in Revelation 9 that came upon the earth like horses in the battlefields were better narrated in Job 39. God elucidated the behaviors of the horses in the battlefields; 20 Do you make it leap like the locust? Its majestic snorting is terrible. 21 It paws violently, exults mightily; it goes out to meet the weapons.22 It laughs at fear, and is not dismayed;23 it does not turn back from the sword. Upon it rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin.24 With fierceness and rage it swallows the ground; it cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. 25 When the trumpet sounds, it says “Aha!” From a distance it smells the battle, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
The woe of the fifth "trumpet" in Revelation 9 causes the battling currencies ("fiat money versus fiat money"), "crumbled" like the horses who ran off swallowing the ground in the battlefields. God had foretold its fate because it had been enslaving mankind with innumerable injustices on earth; its dark-sides were rarely published in truth. Though born again believers could discern the hidden spirit behind the deceptions of that 'fiat money,' they are, indeed, powerless in escaping from it because every ruler from every nation on earth had literally agreed with that covenant of death. Every citizen, king, noble, rich, poor, slave or free man in every nation, has become the slave or the worshipper of the ruler, and turning themselves as slaves to that covenant of fiat money. Thus, the prevalent precept says "money is the source of life;" it is the "river of life" in our modern international communities. How many peoples on earth who would genuinely hungry for His Word? Is there any person who could confess with his mouth from one's heart that Christ, the perfect Lamb's Pass Over, is the Source of life? St. Peter said that the spirit is willing, but the mind is not willing.
The injustices of fiat money had plagued humanity like "swarms of locusts" that devastate 'every crop of modern life.' When Fiat money failed, it would rob us of every measurable wealth. In extreme crumbling effects of such money, created out of thin air, it leads us into scarcities of basic needs, famines, wars, and even succumbing the strongest will-powered-men into dark hopelessness. Unless the believers were endowed by the "seal" ("seal" means the presence of the Divine Holy Spirit or the presence of His ministering angels) of God, then even the spiritually mature men might be staggering.
Those who do not have the seal of God valued money as the crown of life. Their existences (faces) on earth are valued by the face-values of those "locusts;" crowned with gold; they had been in existence since the dawn of human civilization on earth. Thus, it has human face like of a woman. It was somehow likened as having the role of 'motherhood' in human life. Those locusts have the human faces just like the fiat-currency notes that portrayed the rulers' faces (gods~see Psalm 82)! The 'human-like' "faces" of the locusts unfold the future slavery when the presence of monetary is inseparable with human life on earth; their "presence" (face) brings forth the lethal sting of "scorpion" (slavery). The presence of those "locusts" enslaves humanity. How much money do you have? Their worthiness is literally measured with their "fiat money." The face (wealth) of money literally defines our existence on earth. Their hair were like woman's hair because fiat money become the 'motherhood' of all reasons for their existence; the reason to live and the reason to die. And fiat money enslaved humanity like lion's teeth: it coils us up to dreadful 'death.' (Rev.9: 7-8).
Rev.9: 11 they (fiat money) had "as king" over them, the angel of the Abbys (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Appollyon. (...means Destroyer; when the king of currencies falls into the hands of the 'freya-tares,' then the whole world would be stung like "the sting of a scorpion!"). The people of God on earth are the prophesied wheat, but the mission of the rulers on earth are distinguished by their association with the Abyss; the complete human mission on earth subtly inspired and manipulated by the Adversary.
The Adversary since the dawn of monetary ('name') in human history had been subtly empowering his emissaries on earth, the rulers or superpowers, so that they could conquer the inhabitants of the earth: the Greek drachma, the Roman denarius, the Arabian dinar, the Netherland-money, the Spanish dollars, the Pound Sterling, and the current hegemony of US fiat. The mad spirit behind every world conquest could not be separated from "monetary." Every conquered territory must be financed and replenished by money either by the real commodity-based money or by the fiat-money which are created out of nothing.
...the swarms of "locusts" came upon the earth. They were once spewed out by the erupting volcano; the Adversary knew very well how to laden the yoke of slavery upon the inhabitants of the world. They were once spewed out after the WWI and WWII. The adversary had his subtle agenda in enslaving mankind on earth. The "name" or mission of men on earth, 666, subtly orchestrated by the Dragon, and her laws were enforced by the superpower of the world, prophesied as the "two horned-beast" out of the earth...in Rev.13. In verse 9: they had breastplates of iron because we cannot destroy them like killing the literal horses; we are enslaved by those fiat money. Verse 9-10: we see economic conquests as classic conquest manifesting in the form of "wars;" fiat money against fiat money. ...like thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. Economic maneuverings through fiat money have become another dimension of diabolic wars on earth.
Verse 10: in the post Second Coming, there would be a period of time where those "locusts" were allowed to crumble upon those who did not have the seal of God for "a period of 5-months" (a cryptic phrase) or merely "a locust-lifespan."
Any artistic-literal conception would rather comical. But, the vision as seen by St. John allegorically unfolds the future "fiat money" as according to the prophetic language of the Spirit. St. Paul who had been endowed with the operations of the gifts of the seven-fold-Spirit wrote his letter in 1 Timothy 6: 10, unto his spiritual-son, saying "for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains." Jesus explained that those who prioritized the flesh was likened as the seeds 22... sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing." (Matthew 13: 22). Jesus said in Luke 6: 24 “But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation."
Epilogue:
This revelation does not intend to derogatorily propagate hatred towards money. We 'see' it that way because that is how we read the signs of times. We see the "mission" of men, and we see the "mission" of the Word: two different agendas, opposing to each another. The "wheat" struggle to find Wisdom in surviving within those two opposing agendas in front of their eyes. The tares would walk in darkness. After-all, almost all nations had agreed with the Agreements and Treaties, otherwise we would be unable "to buy and to sell." Thus, our rulers created our own "locust" as well. It enslaves us, but we do not have the choice. Our governments tried to be shrewd in calculating the "mission."
And, someday, in the near future, we would face great distress in figuring out the right calculations; all shrewdness would fail in seeking the right mathematical-economic-digest in upholding the modern-economic-views of "supply and demand." The economic crashes would precede the prophesied 200 million troops of real literal wars on earth. The account of the distress brought forth by the "locusts" in Rev. 9: 1-11 would precede that prophesied wars. Revelation was given unto believers, so that they may know the things to come, and also that when it is fulfilled, they might be edified: you would be called blessed. The 'prophesied woman' and also every follower or offspring of the 'woman' in Genesis 3: 15-16 must hold the true "treasure" that promises eternal fullness of life. Prophet Isaiah revealed that such "treasure" would be the foundation of your life, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; "the fear of the Lord" is the key to this treasure (Isaiah 33: 6).
