Rev. 8:9• 9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. (Rev. 8:9)
The first miracle of Christ turned water into wine, the first plague upon Egypt turned all their water into blood.
• Thus the river in which they boastfully gloried as an emblem of God, became an object of distaste and loathing. (“Judgments Upon Egypt: Exodus 7-11” by E. Dennett)
• The blow that fell upon the Nile destroyed its fish, and amongst these some of the emblems of the gods were to be found; for worship was paid to different kinds of fish. We must not think that the worship of emblems is unmeaning ignorance. The most sacred of the fish were dedicated to the goddess Hathor. Each fish selected for worship figured some special quality. The Wise men of Egypt did not worship a mere fish, but what the particular fish symbolized. (“Divine Power and Serpent Power” by H.F. Witherby)
