Revelation 16:8 Revelation 16:8-9 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. By the sun here, we are to understand the emperor of Germany, the French King, and the Pope of Rome, who are the great lights in the Roman papal kingdom, who rule the day of the anti-Christian state, as the sun in the firmament doth, \ rule and govern the natural day. The effect of this vial or plague is the scorching of the men of the beasts kingdom with great heat. \ They that worship the beast or his image, or receive his mark, etc. are tormented with fire, \ see the exposition.
