NASB | Revelation 9:1 Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 9:1 Then the fifth angel sounded [his trumpet], and I saw a star (angelic being) that had fallen from heaven to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit (abyss) was given to him (the star-angel). [Rev 20:1] |
Bible Question:
Does this 'star' relate to Wormwood in 8:8-11? I am very grateful for all the help! |
Bible Answer: Thomas8 The Wormwood in 8:8-11 is an actual heavenly body from the universe sent by God to fall to earth and pollute a third of all the waters, as in a metor or something similar. The star in 9:1 is actually Satan himself, see verse 9:11; his Hebrew name is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon - these are some less well known names for Satan. Notice that whoever this is in verse 11 has authority over the things that come out of the abyss. Some theologians say these are demonic forces, or actual demons, the locusts and the scorpions and that Satan, as he is the ruler and king over all demons, is the one who is over whatever these things are because of the names Abaddon and Appolyon. peacebestill |
