Revelation 9:2

9:2 He ¹  opened the shaft of the abyss and smoke rose out of it ²  like smoke from a giant furnace. The ³  sun and the air were darkened with smoke from the shaft.

Revelation 8:12

8:12 Then ⁴  the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And there was no light for a third of the day ⁵  and for a third of the night likewise.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

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