8:5 The action of the angel, as he throws fire . . . down upon the earth, signals the dramatic beginning of God’s judgment (see Gen 19:24; Exod 9:23; Lev 10:2; Deut 9:3; 2 Kgs 1:10). • thunder . . . lightning . . . earthquake: These earthly portents remind us of God’s power, presence, and judgment (also Rev 11:19; 16:18; see Exod 19:18-19; 1 Kgs 19:11-12; Isa 29:6).
