James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:1-21

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS We have here another illustration of the law of recurrence, for in these chapters we are going over the ground of the last, though certain features are being added which were not then revealed. In other words, it is still the Tribulation Period. INTRODUCTION (Revelation 8:2-5 ) In the previous lesson the Introduction included the vision of “The Throne, the Lamb and the Book,” while here it is the revelation of the angel and the incense. There is no satisfactory... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 9:1-12

(1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (4) And it was commanded them that they should... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:2

And the smoke, &c. Luther and his followers propagated and defended their new doctrines with such heat and violence, as to occasion every where seditions and insurrections, which they seemed to glory in. Luther openly boasted of it. "You complain," said he, "that by our gospel the world is become more tumultuous; I answer, God be thanked for it; these things I would have so to be, and woe to me if such things were not." --- The sun was darkened, &c. The light of faith, which is the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:3

There came out locusts; devils, in antichrist's time, when the chief devil, Abaddon, the destroyer, shall be as it were let loose. Others by locusts, understand the Goths and those barbarous people that made an irruption into the Roman empire, in the time of Decius, about the year 250. Others again, by locusts, understand heretics, and especially those heretics that spring from the Jews, and with them denied the divinity of our Saviour Christ, as Theodotus, Praxeas, Noetus, Paul of Samosata,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:4

Nor any green thing. The Greek and Latin texts express it every green thing; meaning, that though the locusts, or the sects of Protestants, are allowed by the Almighty to seduce some of all sorts from the Church, yet that the generality of the faithful will be preserved unhurt.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 9:1-12

1-12 Upon sounding the fifth trumpet, a star fell from heaven to the earth. Having ceased to be a minister of Christ, he who is represented by this star becomes the minister of the devil; and lets loose the powers of hell against the churches of Christ. On the opening of the bottomless pit, there arose a great smoke. The devil carries on his designs by blinding the eyes of men, by putting out light and knowledge, and promoting ignorance and error. Out of this smoke there came a swarm of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 9:1-99

Revelation 9 THE FIFTH AND sixth trumpets follow in chapter 9; both of them are termed a “woe,” so severe is the judgment they inflict. In general there is a resemblance between them, but the fifth brings torment so fierce that men will desire death and yet death will elude them. The sixth does bring death. In reading this chapter we need hardly remind ourselves that the descriptions are couched in symbolic language. If taken literally we should have to picture something very grotesque. Under... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 9:1-4

The Sounding of the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets. The falling of the star: v. 1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth; and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. v. 2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. v. 3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth; and unto them was given power as... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Revelation 9:1-21

Revelation 9:1FIFTH TRUMPET, OR THE FIRST WOE1Revelation 9:1. I saw a star fallen from the Heaven to the Earth.—Its fall is done; it has fallen hither from Heaven to judgment, Luke 10:18; Isaiah 14:12. A star—therefore not an Angel (Eichhorn); either good (Bengel) or bad (Düsterdieck); certainly not the devil (Bede, against which view Revelation 12:9 militates). According to Düsterdieck, the ideas of star and Angel are confluent (Psalms 103:21; Jeremiah 33:22). Here, however, where distinct... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 9:1-11

“Out of the Smoke of the Pit” Revelation 9:1-11 This chapter reminds us of the prophet Joel who, under the imagery of a swarm of locusts, depicted the coming invasion of hostile nations. Whether these warriors are intended for barbarian hordes which swept over the Roman Empire previous to its fall, or whether they represent the Saracens, between whose appearance and the details of this vision there is much in common, is not within our province to determine. The point which specially concerns... read more
