AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 9:11 They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss (the bottomless pit); in Hebrew his name is Abaddon (destruction), and in Greek he is called Apollyon (destroyer-king). |
Bible Question: Is the 'angel of the abyss' the falling star of Rev 9:1? |
Bible Answer: Most commentators see the falling star in Revelation 9:1 as being Satan. The angel of the abyss in 9:11 is Satan because he is the king over the demons who were locked in the pit. Satan has a spiritual kingdom of demons of which he is king and is called the angel of the abyss. He is given the key to where some of the demons are locked and he lets them out to torment for five months. We call him Satan, in Greek he was called Apollyon, in Hebrew he was calle Abaddon. Isn't it interesting how God will use Satan to do the 5th trumpet judgment? God Bless, Tamara |
