Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Revelation 9:12

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.One woe is past; behold, there come yet two woes after these things — The Persian power, under which was the first woe, was now broken by the Saracens: from this time the first pause made a wide way for the two succeeding woes.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 9:1-21

It is the sins of men that draw down these bolts of wrath, rendering every point of creation hostile to our peace. “Cursed is the ground for thy sake,” (Genesis 3:17,) is the key-note. This sad status of humanity has existed through all past... read more
