100.3 So the horses, (with) female hair, making a hostile incursion.
Summary of 100.3:
• John’s vision of the Demonic Locusts continues by informing us of the large size of the army (strateuma) of the cavalry of horsemen (hippikon)
• 100.3, just like 100.2, also begins with the copulative particle “fa”, which indicates a close connection between the sentences before and after it; signifying either definite cause and effect or a natural sequence of events
• Again, juxtaposed to “fa” is “al”, which informs us that “it is also used to indicate something which has already been mentioned or a concept of which is in the mind of the writer or reader”
• Thus, the material contained in 100.3 is also previously known material, and is a continuation (or effect) of the attributes ascribed unto the horses contained in 100.1 & 100.2
• The feminine plural “mugheerati”, tells us that the horses are making a hostile incursion
• The root “ghara” elaborates by informing us that this predatory incursion is against the people
• The root “ghara” also delivers to us the message that this predatory incursion of horsemen is a numerous army, just as foretold in Revelation
• John’s vision of the Demonic Locusts also describes them as having the hair (threeks) of women
• Likewise, 100.3, by using the feminine word “subhan”, tells us that it is an epithet that describes hair
• 100.3 describes female hair as being on the Demonic Locusts
• “Subhan” also signifies a female conspicuous – meaning that it is obvious to the eye or mind
• John’s vision of the Demonic Locusts further describes them as having the heads of lions, and the faces of men
• Amazingly, 100.3 also follows suit with the word “subhan”, which also serves as an epithet applied to a man and to a lion
• 100.3 describes the Demonic Locusts as being like both a man and a lion
• Reviewing the Koranic description offered to us regarding the Demonic Locusts, as revealed in 100.1 - 100.3, which encompasses both the Fifth and the Sixth trumpet blasts; we have the following parallels to Revelation chapter 9:
1. They were once hidden or concealed
2. They are likened to Horses prepared for war
3. The Horses have riders
4. Adorned with Fire-colored Breastplates
5. Fire issues from their mouths
6. Brimstone issues from their mouths
7. They are like a large army
8. They have female hair
9. They are in likeness to a man
10. They are in likeness to a lion
