{Taketh} (eil(8870)hen). Vivid dramatic perfect active
indicative of lamban(935c) as in  5:7 , "has taken." The angel had
apparently ]aid aside the censer. Hardly merely the pleonastic
use of lamban(935c) ( Joh 19:23 ). John pictures the scene for us.
{Filled} (egemisen). He drops back to the narrative use of the
first aorist active indicative of gemiz(935c). {With the fire} (ek
tou puros), live coals from the altar (cf.  Isa 6:6 ). {Cast}
(ebalen). Second aorist active indicative of all(935c). See  Ge
19:24  (Sodom);  Eze 10:2  and Christ's bold metaphor in  Lu
12:49 . See this use of all(935c) also in  Re 8:7  12:4,9,13  14:19 . {Followed} (egenonto). Came to pass naturally after the
casting of fire on the earth. Same three elements in  4:5 , but
in different order (lightnings, voices, thunders), lightning
naturally preceding thunder as some MSS. have it here. Perhaps
ph(936e)ai, the voices of the storm (wind, etc.).
