Exegesis
The second clause, kai he ge ephōtisthē {καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη | kaî hē gē e-phō-tís-thē} ‘and the earth was illuminated’, uses an aorist passive to depict the earth as the recipient of the angel’s radiance.
In context — Revelation 18:1
After these things, I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority , and his glory made the earth shine.
