What effect did the horses’ teaching have?

Revelation 9:18 (ESV)

18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.

John records that “by these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.” The dogma they teach is deadly, resulting in the deaths of one out of every three persons. To kill a third of mankind had been the mandate given to the four bound angels, Revelation 9:15. Through the horses, the four angels do precisely as the Lord had commanded.
