Revelation 8:11


The name of the star is Wormwood (Gk. apsinthos).
[Wormwood is a plant with a greenish bitter oil. It is often a symbol of sorrow, see Prov 5:4; Jer. 9:15.] A third of the waters were turned into wormwood, and many people died from the water that had become bitter.
[As with the second trumpet, there are similarities with the first plague in Egypt that destroyed the drinking water. There are also similarities with the desert journey where the water became bitter in Mara, see Ex. 15:23–25.]
