• The “inhabiters of the earth” is a moral expression, as in Rev. 3:10; the words are the same, though differently translated. They indicate a class; those whose hearts and hopes are set upon earth, those who, in the language of the Apostle Paul, mind earthly things. (“Revelation 9” by E. Dennett)

• If the four previous judgments were providential, though inflicted judicially by God, this, while still under God’s control, is diabolical in its origin and nature. (“Revelation 9” by E. Dennett)

• He opened the bottomless pit — the place where evil is shut up and chained; not where it is punished, that is, the lake of fire. (“Revelation 9” by J.N. Darby)

• Star Fallen from Heaven: An apostate subordinate power. (“Revelation 9 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)

• Bottomless Pit [Abyss]: The place where Satanic evil is shut up and chained (Luke 8:31; 2 Pet. 2:4; Rev. 20:1, 3). (“Revelation 9 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)

And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fallena out of the heaven unto the earth, and there was given him the key of the pit of the abyssb.

WK Translation Notes

a

"Fallen" is right, not "fall," as in the KJV, a fault of rendering rather than of reading.

b

Pit "of the abyss" is better than "bottomless pit"; and so throughout.
