Greek Commentary for Revelation 8:8
“As if,” not a great mountain, but a blazing mass as large as a mountain. [source]
Present middle participle of καιω kaiō Somewhat like Enoch 18:13, but perhaps with the picture of a great volcanic eruption like that of Vesuvius in a.d. 79. Strabo tells of an eruption b.c. 196 which made a new island (Palaea Kaumene).Became blood (εγενετο αιμα egeneto haima). Like the Nile in the first plague (Exodus 7:20.). Cf. also Revelation 16:3. [source]
