Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck

12 aThen the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day1 did not shine, and likewise the night.  
13 And I looked, aand I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, b“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Revelation 8:13

I - heard an angel flying - Instead of , an angel flying, almost every MS. and version of note has , an eagle flying. The eagle was the symbol of the Romans, and was always on their ensigns. The three woes which are here expressed were probably to be executed by this people, and upon the Jews and their commonwealth. Taken in this sense the symbols appear consistent and appropriate; and the reading eagle instead of angel is undoubtedly genuine, and Griesbach has received it into the text.
