Contextual Overview

¹ The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit, ² and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit. ³ And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess. ⁴ And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man. ⁶ And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them. ⁷ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold. ⁸ Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions. ⁹ They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle. ¹⁰ They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

One woe is past,.... One of the three woe trumpets, the first of them; that is, in the vision which John had of it, not the thing itself designed by it:

[and] behold there come two woes more hereafter; under the blowing of the sixth and seventh trumpets.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

One woe is past - The woe referred to in Revelation 9:1-11. In Revelation 8:13 three woes are mentioned which were to occur successively, and which were to embrace the whole of the period comprised in the seven seals and the seven trumpets. Under the last of the seals we have considered four successive periods, referring to events connected with the downfall of the Western empire; and then we have found one important event worthy of a place in noticing the things which would permanently affect the destiny of the world - the rise, the character, and the conquests of the Saracens. This was referred to by the first woe-trumpet. We enter now on the consideration of the second. This occupies the remainder of the chapter, and in illustrating it the same method will be pursued as heretofore: first, to explain the literal meaning of the words, phrases, and symbols; and then to inquire what events in history, if any, succeeding the former, occurred, which would correspond with the language used.

And, behold, there come two woes more hereafter - Two momentous and important events that will be attended with sorrow to mankind. It cannot be intended that there would be no other evils that would visit mankind; but the eye, in glancing along the future, rested on these as having a special pre-eminence in affecting the destiny of the church and the world.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Revelation 9:12. One wo is past — That is, the wo or desolation by the symbolical scorpions.

There came two woes more — In the trumpets of the sixth and seventh angels.
