There are only three woes...to the inhabiters of the earth...signaled by the last three angels sounding their trumpet.        Revelation 9 reveals what the first and second woes to the inhabiters of the earth will be.

Where else in Revelation are you finding the term "woe to the inhabiters of the earth" ?

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

I really don't know what you are asking. There are only 3 woes. What is your point?

The phrase  "woe to the inhabiters of the earth" is found in only two places in the bible.

Revelation 8:13 and Revelation 12:12.

 

The first two woes to the inhabiters of the earth are revealed in Revelation 9 what they will be.

 

The third woe to the inhabiters of the earth is found in Revelation 12:12 what it will be, as indicated in the text as "woe to the inhabiters of the earth".

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Woe means "grief,anguish and affliction. The three woes of Revelation are the

final judgment God pronounces on the evil inhabitants of the earth.

The first woe is revealed after the fifth trumpet judgment. This woe

involves locusts that have the ability to sting.

The second woe is revealed after the sixth trumpet judgment.

This woe begins with a voice command "Release the four angels

who are bound at the great river Euphrates". These four angels

are demons. The demonic angels and their armies, numbering

two hundred million are released to kill a third of mankind.

The third woe is revealed after the seventh trumpet. This woe

includes the seven bowls of God's wrath Revelation 16:1-21

Pretty spot on, but I think most everyone confuses the four angels bound, they are not bound in the river per se, but to a TIME, in other words these are God's Angels delivering death to 1/3 of all men who have taken the Mark of the Beast. Jesus said Satan can not kill Satan. These are Angels bound to an appointed time imho.

Rev. 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

These are not 200 million men or demons, but [maybe] 200 million Angels who deliver God's Plague against men who have taken the Mark of the Beast, again, Satan is not going to kill his own soldiers. The MAYBE is because God uses numbers, notice 10,000 x 10,000 or just God saying the COMPLETE HEAVENS, all my Angels, 10 Completion x 10 Completion with an added emphasis of 10,000 just like God saved Himself 7000 Israelis, that is Divine Completion with an added emphasis of 7000 instead of just 7. Maybe the Two Myriads means 10,000 Angels (All God's Angels) and 10,000 Humans who were Raptured which means all of those men who married Jesus the Lamb. Either way, this has to be angels/being of God, because they are delivering Plagues.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues (Meaning these are God's Plagues, thus these are Angels delivering them) yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Just because the word says they bare bound in the river, IMHO, people let that override all of the other clues. Satan can not kill Satan. The next verse tells us they are bound to a TIME, Day, Month, Year etc. And imho, we will never see a 200 million human army, but Human's can not deliver God's Plagues anyway.

Yes, it is a warning.   But what woe number is it to the inhabiters of the earth.... ?

 

miss muffet is correct, the three woes are from God via the 5th, 6th and the 7th Trumps. Heck, Israel flees Judea (in Rev. 12 that is what they are doing) BEFORE any of the Wrath of God falls.
