Contextual Overview

1Then the fifth angel blew his bugle. I saw a star that had crashed to the earth. It had the key to the well of the bottomless sinkhole. 2The star unlocked the sinkhole and smoke billowed forth as if from the fire of a blacksmith's forge. The smoke blotted out what was left of the light of the sun and clogged most of the air over the entire earth. 3Locusts appeared out of the smoke with tails like scorpions. 4They only targeted and tormented those without the brand of Christ on the foreheads. 5The terrible locusts were not allowed to kill the unbranded, but only to inflict tremendous torture on them for five months. 6During those five months, people will look for death to ease the pain, but be unable to find it. 7The locusts were like battle-ready horses lined up across the fields. They had crowns on their heads with faces of men. 8Their hair was long like a woman's, but their teeth were those of lions. 9They had iron breastplates of armor and their wings sounded like chariots racing across the battlefield in pursuit of another victim. 10Their tails were like scorpions with needles like swords, ready to inflict pain and suffering as quickly as a rattlesnake's strike. For five months they will ravage the lives of the unbranded.

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.
