Will it be a Volcano like on Easter Island or fabled Atlantis which destroys a third of the worlds sea creatures and a third of Navy Sailors on their ships as in Revelation bible chapter 8 verse 9?

Answer 1

To understand a particular Bible verse one must see it in context with other verses, and to take it literally and not allegorize it: (if something is allegorized it can then mean whatever you want it to mean.) This is a case in point:-

Rev 8:8-11 KJV And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; (v.9) And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. (v.10) And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; (v.11) And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Don Koenig in his commentary on the Book of revelation says:-

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

After the second angel sounds, a very large segment of this comet crashes into the sea. A third of the sea becomes as blood due to the red dust from the explosion of the metallic body. All life in the sea over this portion of the earth will die and all ships on it will be destroyed. This could mean a third of one sea but I think it actually means one third of all the ocean surface on earth since the next judgment is on one third of the land surface on the earth.
