People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 8:12 THE FOURTH TRUMPET. And the fourth angel sounded. Again the scene changes. And the third part of the sun was smitten, etc. Now it is the third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars that is smitten, and darkness follows. The sun is a symbol of the supreme ruler, and the moon and stars of inferior dignities. If the Roman emperor, ruler of the world, should be cast from power, his empire overthrown, the consuls, senators, and great men who supported his power be cast to the dust, and a period of intellectual and moral darkness should follow, it would fully meet the symbolism.
