In like manner, when the abyss or bottomless pit is shut up, it is represented in this prophecy to be done by an angel coming down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit. The angels of the heavenly host, as well as the angels or bishops of the churches, (see Revelation 1:20 Revelation 8:10,) seem to be called stars in Scripture: as when, at the creation, the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy, Job 38:7. The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth - “Stars, in the language of prophecy,” says Lowman, “signify angels. Revelation 11:7 Revelation 17:8 Revelation 20:1-3.)īenson Commentary Revelation 9:1. The abyss is the lowest spring of evil, whence the worst dangers arise. Dante’s Inferno, with its narrowing circles winding down to the central shaft, is somewhat similar. The verse before us suggests the picture of a vast depth approached by a pit or shaft, whose top, or mouth, is covered. It is the word which describes the abode of the evil spirits. The abyss is the same word rendered “the deep,” in Luke 8:31, where the demons besought our Lord not to send them into the abyss, or deep. Literally, and there was given to him (i.e., to the being represented as a fallen star) the key of (not “the bottomless pit”) the pit of the abyss. To understand this fallen star as the representative of a good angel seems hardly possible.Īnd to him was given. We may compare Revelation 12:8-12, where Satan is described as defeated, cast down to the earth, and filled with wrath.

Does not this lead us to expect the working of some evil spirit and diabolical agency? The 11th verse confirms our expectation. He is, moreover, said to have fallen from heaven, and he is represented as having been given the key of the abyss. Some great power or ruler is represented, then, by this fallen star. Christ described Satan as lightning falling from heaven. Isaiah ( Isaiah 14:12) speaks of Lucifer fallen from heaven. The emblem of a fallen star is used elsewhere in the Bible. Translate, And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen (not “fall,” as in English version the seer saw not a falling, but a fallen, star) upon the earth. Watch out for those.Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(1) And the fifth angel. Enemy ships get increasingly more difficult the longer you last in the pit. Earn points and Graps for destroying enemies starships chip-by-chip and spend those hard earned funds on your next starship. As chips on the ship are destroyed, the ship loses whatever functionality they provided. Once your ship is designed, you are placed in the Star-Pit to battle enemy starships and put your creation to the ultimate test. They can be placed in whatever arrangement you want. They are the guts of the ship: thrusters, laser guns, shields, etc. Starships are made up of individual components called 'Star-Chips'.
