People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 8:5
And the angel . . . filled it with the fire of the altar. Fire
is usually a symbol of suffering.
And cast [it] into the earth. This fire cast from the altar upon
the earth indicates that the judgments of God are about to fall upon
it. "The earth" in the sense used by John is the great Roman Empire,
which embraced the civilized world.
And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an
earthquake. These mutterings and the quakings are ominous of the
terrible scenes to follow when the angels sound their trumpets.
