 These things are not to be taken in their mere obvious or physical drift…. John himself throughout the book shows that he did not always nor of necessity appreciate the meaning of that which he beheld in the Spirit. In other words he saw a sort of panorama, and recorded the visions just as they appeared to himself; and we have to use the Word of God by the Spirit to know what the symbols imply. (article #56675)
 In scripture grass is the symbol commonly used to denote man in his weakness, his very glory being like the flower of grass. Human prosperity then would be set forth by green grass. Here we have a judgment of God upon it. Not a certain part only, however large, but the whole of it is destroyed. (Lectures on Revelation 8 by W. Kelly)
 The trees represent such as are high and exalted among men. It is a very common symbol in the word of God to express those that are deeply rooted, with a lofty bearing and extensive influence here below. (Look for instance at Ezek. 31: 3; Dan. 4, etc.) (Lectures on Revelation 8 by W. Kelly)
 Hail: Sudden and stormy judgment from God (Isa. 28:2; see Rev. 16:21). (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Fire: Consuming judgment. (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Blood: Death morally; apostasy. (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Third Part: The Western Roman earth. [The dragon with seven heads and ten horns drew the third part of the stars.] (Rev. 12:3-4). (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Trees: Exalted position among men; human power and pride (Ezek. 31; Dan. 4). (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Green Grass: Earthly prosperity; human weakness (Isa. 40:6, 8; 1 Pet. 1:24). (Revelation 8 Symbols by A.H. Burton)

c
Or, "it was."{t}
d
"And the third part of the earth was burnt up," should be added as in the RV.
