Genesis 7:24 ESV
And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.
Revelation 9:4-6
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
Five months and 150 days are the same period of time. Both speak of two floods which God uses for His purpose. All life is destroyed in the first flood.
The second flood is different. Those without the seal of God find the locusts from the abyss prevail over them as they receive the sting of death, yet unable to die.
