Commentary on Revelation 9:2

Theological / Devotional

Bottomless pit. See on v. 1.

Darkened. Compare on ch. 6:12. Darkness is also a characteristic of the fifth plague (ch. 16:10). With respect to the Moslems, the darkening of the sun may be thought of as the obscuration of the sun of Christianity. Such was the effect of the spread of the religion of Islam.
