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

Revelation 9:1-12I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth.Moral evil in the universeI. It is exposable (Revelation 9:1). Moral evil, in its incipient state, so stupefies the faculties and blinds the conscience that the subject only becomes aware of it by the advent of s messenger from heaven--an angel from heaven uncovers it, makes it bare to the soul.II. It is fathomless. “Bottomless pit.” Who can fathom its--1. Origin.2. Issues.III. It is burning. “A great furnace.” Like all fire, it... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 9:2

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. Ver. 2. And there arose a smoke ] Of heretical opinions and flagitious practices. All the old heretics fled and hid themselves in the Popish clergy. Those dark corners also of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. Take heed (said the Lord Audely, chancellor of England) how you deal with Popish priests;... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 9:3

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. Ver. 3. Locusts upon the earth ] So the monks, friars, Jesuits, &c., are fitly called for their numerosity and voracity. The Jesuits have sometimes maintained 200,000 scholars. The duke of Bavaria’s house is so pestered with them (saith one), that notwithstanding his great revenues, he is very poor, as spending all his estate upon those Popish flesh flies.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 9:4

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Ver. 4. And as it was commanded ] As David charged his captains to handle the young man Absalom gently, so and much more solicitous is the Lord of his servants’ safety. The grass of the earth, nor any green thing ] I say that under the Papacy was true Christianity, saith Luther (Contra Anabap.), yea, the... read more
