Revelation 9:12The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
The setting
Island of Patmos, Greece, ~95 AD. John pauses between visions, knowing worse is coming...
The emotion here: dreading what must be recorded next
The original word
οὐαί (ouai) — a cry of grief, like 'alas!' or 'how terrible!'
Why it matters
The three 'woes' correspond to the final three trumpet judgments — 5th, 6th, and 7th
