the third part of the creatures.
Rev. 8:7,10,12• 7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
 10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
 12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. (Rev. 8:7,10,12)
;
Rev. 16:3• 3And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. (Rev. 16:3)

• A third part of the creatures in the sea that had life died; i.e., as another has written, “I suppose dying here to be departure from the profession of association with God, public separation from Him, or apostasy.” Infidelity and atheism indeed always flourish in times of great disturbances, social earthquakes and revolutions. The destruction of the third part of ships points plainly to the ruin of commercial means of prosperity. (article #86688)
• Death: Public apostasy from God; the power of Satan (Rev. 2:23). (“Revelation 8 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)
• Ships: Lucrative commerce. (“Revelation 8 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)
