Then the fifth angel sounded: and I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.
· The text clearly shows us that this star is a person (to him), not a literal star. The verb tense (fallen) indicates that he already had fallen. (DG)
· This key becomes the devil’s turnkey, to let loose the powers of hell against the churches of Christ (MH)
Isaiah 14:11-16 ….How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!.....
Psalm 30:3 O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
