REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 8:10 Wormwood is a bitter-tasting plant with a poisonous extract. A star with these qualities makes a third of the rivers and springs undrinkable just like the Nile’s bloodied waters (Exodus 7:24). Cities under attack often surrendered when their water supply was polluted or cut off (see 2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:30; Psalms 46:4).
