The Rev 9, locusts come for the abyss along with the Satanic angel. 

I really don't see how they are the good guys.

You assume it's a satanic Angel. in reality it turns out to be a part that Jesus plays as Abaddon  in destroying all who oppose his Kingdom.

Hardly. 

We are told Abaddon is "the angel of the abyss", and king over the locusts. There is nothing in Scripture to support the notion Abaddon and Jesus are synonymous. 

Please don't push non-conformist beliefs @Locust or your Group Status will have to be changed.

why do people get so offended when  they read about what the locust do in revelation,  and then see it,feel it  happen and not recognize what happened . i am locust and u's are acting as if the tail of the locust stung you in the gut. i tell you Jesus likes the locust because of the work they do  spreading the good news of the kingdom. Jesus made sure that they had gotten out of the prison like pit that they were put into .

Matthew 10:22 says something about it ,they would be hated even as Jesus said they would  .

Matthew 10:22 ''And you will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved.''

It's not a case of being offended by false doctrine and non-conformist theology, but of correcting it to prevent the adulteration of God's Word.

Here are several Scriptures that emphasize the importance of correcting false doctrine and safeguarding God's Word:

1. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
   "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
   This verse underscores the role of Scripture in correcting errors and guiding believers in truth.

2. Titus 1:9
   "He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it."
   Here, Paul instructs leaders to defend sound doctrine and counter false teaching.

3. 2 Timothy 4:2-4
   "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
   This passage highlights the necessity of correcting false teaching to guard against deviations from the truth.

4. Galatians 1:6-9
   "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!"
   Paul warns against the adulteration of the gospel and stresses the seriousness of preserving its truth.

5. 2 Peter 2:1-2
   "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."
   This warns of false teachings and their damaging effects on the faith community.

6. Jude 1:3-4
   "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."
   Jude emphasizes the responsibility of believers to contend for the faith and correct false doctrines.

These Scriptures collectively highlight the need to address and correct false teaching to protect the purity of God’s Word and maintain the integrity of the Christian faith.

Strawman argument. Way off.
