Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 9:1-12

Revelation 9:1-2 Kings : . The Fifth Trumpet or the First Woe.— The seer sees a star fallen on the earth. The star seems to represent a person, possibly Satan ( cf. Luke 10:18).— abyss: the word properly means “ bottomless,” and is used in OT of the abode of the dead, e.g. Psalms 71:20. The abyss is approached by a “ shaft” or “ well,” here translated “ pit,” which is closed and kept under lock and key. Revelation 9:3 . out of the smoke came . . . locusts: cf. Exodus 10:13 and Driver’ s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 9:13-21

Revelation 9:13-Ecclesiastes : . The Sixth Trumpet or the Second Woe.— The loosing of the four angels of death, and the slaughter of a third part of the human race. Revelation 9:13 . the horns: the corners.— the golden altar: cf. Revelation 8:3. Revelation 9:14 . Loose the four angels: these angels are kept bound in the river Euphrates ( cf. Revelation 16:12) waiting for the day of vengeance. There is a striking parallel in a Syriac Apocalypse of Ezra, “ Let these four kings be loosed... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 9:12

One period of time is over, in which God hath plagued the world with a very great judgment; but there are two more to come, which will be equally, if not more, calamitous. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 9:13

That is, from God, I heard him give a command, which voice is said to have proceeded from the golden altar, ( in allusion to Exodus 30:3), because there God received the prayers of his people; and this voice proceeding from that place, might signify the following judgment to come, in answer to the prayer’s of his servants’ souls from thence crying to him for vengeance. See Revelation 6:9,Revelation 6:10. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 9:1-12

THE FIFTH AND SIXTH WOE-TRUMPETSCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 9:1. Fall.—Better, “fallen”; that had fallen. A star would seem to represent a false teacher. Some think Mahomet is referred to. He claimed to have received instructions from Gabriel. And he let loose a flood of evils on the earth. But it is doubtful whether any personal identifications are permissible. The typical and symbolical character should be preserved. Bottomless pit.—Better, “pit of the abyss”; inner prison; lowest... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 9:13-21

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 9:13. Sixth angel sounded.—This woe is an invasion of foreign nations coming out of the East, and causing everywhere ruin and disaster.Revelation 9:14. Loose the four angels.—These are the angels of invasion. No actual reference to the Euphrates must be sought for, but what the Euphrates symbolises. Rivers do not actually hind angels. The Eaphrates was the great military barrier between the great northern and southern kingdoms. It may symbolise the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:12

Revelation 9:12 The Great Voice from Heaven. This is a world in which there is no standing still. Ceaseless progress is the law of nature. Everything is going on, and in our lives we feel it often, and sometimes we feel it sadly; there is no pause nor cease. Here in truth we have no continuing city; our feet are not set upon solid land; from birth to death we are carried on by a rapid current against which there is no striving. Now there are just two ways by which men can advance: the one leads... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:1-21

Chapter 9And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the eaRuth ( Revelation 9:1 ):And it is interesting how that a great mountain of fire burning, a star falling, a star falling, these are like fallen stars. That is why I relate them to perhaps asteroids or meteorites. I could be completely wrong. In other words, there are a lot of people who would like to sort of speculate, and in observed and knowable phenomena, these are not unreasonable. We know of phenomena that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 9:1-21

Revelation 9:1-2 . The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star, the vile impostor Mahomed, fall from heaven unto the earth. And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit: it should read, the keys of the abyss. This is the tartarus, as in the Greek of 2 Peter 2:4. The Waldenses understood this of papal darkness, and the overflowing of cruel persecution; but more sober wisdom confines it to the Saracen and the Turkish armies and conquests. And there arose a smoke out of the pit, as of... read more
