Revelation 9:15

Were loosed (eluqhsan). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of luw, "were let loose."

Which had been prepared (oi htoimasmenoi). Perfect passive articular participle of etoimazw, to make ready (etoimov), in a state of readiness prepared by God (Revelation 12:6; Revelation 16:12; Matthew 25:34).

For the hour and day and month and year (eiv thn wran kai hmeran kai mhna kai eniauton). For this use of eiv with htoimasmenon see 2 Timothy 2:21. All preparation over, the angels are waiting for the signal to begin.

That they should kill (ina apokteinwsin). The same idiom in verse Revelation 9:5 about the fifth trumpet, which brought torture. This one brings death.
