And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun; and power was given unto it to scorch men with fire.
All Commentaries on Revelation 16:8 Go To Revelation 16

And the fourth Angel. Here is the punishment of the Greeks during the siege of Constantinople by the Turks, where the fire engines, that were then made use of for the first time, so reduced the Grecian army, that the walls of the city were reduced to ashes, and the whole town to flames. Hence it appears how the Greeks were scorched with great heat; and how they blasphemed the name of God, appears too evident from the history of No taros, admiral of the Constantinopolitan fleet.
