At Revelation 9:11--who is Abaddon, the angel of the abyss ?

Question

"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." KJV

Answer 1

Jesus, At Revelation 9:11, however, the word “Abaddon” is used as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” The corresponding Greek name Apollyon means “Destroyer.” In the past century there were efforts made to show that this text prophetically applied to individuals such as Emperor Vespasian, Muhammad, and even Napoleon, and the angel was generally regarded as “satanic.” It should be noted, however, that at Revelation 20:1-3 the angel having “the key of the abyss” is shown to be God’s representative from heaven, and rather than being “satanic,” he binds and hurls Satan into the abyss. Commenting on Revelation 9:11, The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.”
In the Hebrew scriptures just considered, it is evident that ´avad•dohn' is paralleled with Sheol and death. At Revelation 1:18 we find Christ Jesus stating: “I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.” His power with regard to the abyss is shown at Luke 8:31. That he has destroying power, including the power of destruction over Satan, is evident from Hebrews 2:14, which says that Jesus partook of blood and flesh in order that “through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil.” At Revelation 19:11-16 he is clearly represented as God’s appointed Destroyer or Executioner.

Answer 2

Friend look at that verse very careful. Abaddon & Apollyon had 2 meanings to them, but yet not 2 meanings but 3, Abaddon means Destruction, Apollyon means destroyer, & who is this pointing to, Just as it is written in that verse, he is the angel of the bottomless pit, whih is referring to none other than satan. You are looking at the 1st WOE, with 2 yet to happen.

Answer 3

In Revelation 9:11, it is personified as the demon Abaddon, "Angel of the Abyss", rendered in Greek as Apollyon; and he is described as king of the locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet. In like manner, in Rev. vi. 8, Hades is personified following after death to conquer the fourth part of the earth.

Abaddon is one of the infernal names used in Satanism, and is first in the list—only as it comes first alphabetically—and means "the destroyer."

Answer 4

Abaddon and Apollyon both have the same thought of destruction or torment (perdition). Since this is the king of locusts referred to earlier in the chapter, and since he has the name Abaddon or Apollyon, this must be Satan himself or another high-ranking leader of demons.

Answer 5

The word translated is Apollo.

Just like the Greek mythological God.

It stems from Genesis 6:3 where fallen angels called Nephilim took human wives and produced a race that was part human, and part angelic supercreature. Some of the feats of the Nephilim are recorded in Greek Mythology.

Remember all legends have some part truth in them.

Answer 6

Many think there are only angels and demons
in the spirit world. But Ceation is full of Life.
They think of all the demons there is only the Devil. But as the demon that Christ fought said,
"we are many".
Beel-ze-bub is said to be an archdemon, and Lord
of the Underworld. But whether these other
references are speaking of that particualr entity, I do not know.

Answer 7

The Interpreter’s Bible says:
“Abaddon, is an angel, not of Satan, but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.”
At Revelation 1:18 we find Christ Jesus stating: “I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”

Answer 8

this angel of the bottomless pit is Satan. Satan is going to try his best to hold this world up for a thousand years and he wont be able to.
