This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Fall (πεπτωκότα)
Lit., fallen. The star had fallen before and is seen as fallen. Rev., properly construes star with from heaven instead of with fallen. Compare Isa 14:12; Luk 10:18.
Of the bottomless pit (τοῦ φρέατος τῆς ἀβύσσου)
Rev., of the pit of the abyss. See on Joh 4:6, and compare Luk 14:5. It is not however a pit that is locked, but the long shaft leading to the abyss, like a well-shaft, which, in the East, is oftener covered and locked.
