Context of Revelation 9:12
10And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon. The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter. 13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-12The fifth trumpet is the first of the three terrors (Revelation 8:13). It brings a judgment of locusts from the bottomless pit, a place of horror.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1212. Greek, "The one woe." hereafter--Greek, "after these things."

None of the interpretations which regard them as past, are satisfactory.
