Rev 8:12 ...KAI EPLHGH TO TRITON TOU hHLIOU KAI TO TRITON THS SELHNHS KAI TO
TRITON TWN ASTERWN, hINA SKOTISQHi TO TRITON AUTWN KAI hH hHMERA MH FANHi TO
TRITON AUTHS, KAI hH NUKS hOMOIWS.
For quick orientation, I'll give an English text too, but I am not sure of
the accuracy of this text:
Reve 8:12 (NASU) ...and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a
third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened
and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.
I have a hard time visualizing this. When a third of the sun and a third of
the moon and a third of the stars are darkened, does that mean that the sun
and the moon look as though there were a partial eclipse, and one third of
the stars just disappear? And what does it mean when it says hH hHMERA MH
FANHi TO TRITON AUTHS? and what about KAI hH NUKS hOMOIWS?
