What will be the fifth plague?

Answer

"And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness;
and they gnawed their tongues for pain." Verse 10.
NOTE - This plague strikes at the very seat of the great apostasy of the latter days, the Papacy. It
will doubtless be similar in effect to the like plague in Egypt, which was a darkness that could "be felt." Ex.
10:21-23. By this plague that haughty and apostate spiritual despotism which has set itself up as possessing
all truth, and as being the light of the world, is enshrouded in midnight darkness.
