Wahyu 8:10

8:10 Then ¹  the third angel blew his trumpet, and a huge star burning like a torch fell from the sky; ²  it landed ³  on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

Wahyu 9:1

9:1 Then ⁴  the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky ⁵  to the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the abyss. ⁶ 

Wahyu 16:21

16:21 And gigantic hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds ⁷  each, fell from heaven ⁸  on people, ⁹  but they ¹⁰  blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since it ¹¹  was so horrendous. ¹² 

[8:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:10]  ² tn Or “from heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[8:10]  ³ tn Grk “fell.”

[9:1]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[9:1]  ⁵ tn Or “from heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[9:1]  ⁶ tn On this term BDAG 2 s.v. ἄβυσσος 2 states, “netherworld, abyss, esp. the abode of the dead Ro 10:7 (Ps 106:26) and of demons Lk 8:31; dungeon where the devil is kept Rv 20:3; abode of the θηρίον, the Antichrist 11:7; 17:8; of ᾿Αβαδδών (q.v.), the angel of the underworld 9:11…φρέαρ τῆς ἀ. 9:1f; capable of being sealed 9:1; 20:1, 3.”

[16:21]  ⁷ tn Here BDAG 988 s.v. ταλαντιαῖος states, “weighing a talent…χάλαζα μεγάλη ὡς ταλαντιαία a severe hailstorm with hailstones weighing a talent (the talent=125 librae, or Roman pounds of c. 343 gr. or 12 ounces each) (weighing about a hundred pounds NRSV) Rv 16:21.” This means each hailstone would weigh just under 100 pounds or 40 kilograms.

[16:21]  ⁸ tn Or “the sky.” Due to the apocalyptic nature of this book, it is probably best to leave the translation as “from heaven,” since God is ultimately the source of the judgment.

[16:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “on men,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a generic sense to refer to people in general (the hailstones did not single out adult males, but would have also fallen on women and children).

[16:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the men”; for stylistic reasons the pronoun “they” is used here.

[16:21]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the plague of it.”

[16:21]  ¹² tn Grk “since the plague of it was exceedingly great.”
