• Now a star, as we have seen in an earlier chapter, though in another connection (Rev. 1:20), is the figure of one who holds a place of subordinate authority — one who may give light to others — subject himself to another, but still ruling. Here it is a degraded ruler, a dignitary fallen from his place of authority. (article #56677)
• A star is the symbol of authority in government, not supreme (for this is represented by the sun), but subordinate, and one therefore, from the very emblem employed, who should have been the source of light and order to men. But he falls “from heaven,” from the place in which he had been set by God (for “the powers that be are ordained of God”); that is, he is now by his fall dissevered from all connection with God. (article #56678)
• Waters are the symbol of people unformed, fountains are the sources of their refreshment, and a river that which characterises their course. (“Lectures on Revelation 8” by W. Kelly)
