"What about the angel of the bottomless pit?"


(What about the angel of the bottomless pit?)

Revelation 9:11 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.

(These locusts have a king over them, while natural, earth locusts do not have kings:)

Proverbs 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

(But these preternatural, fallen creature, bottomless pit locusts do have a king over them.
Their king is the angel of the bottomless pit.  They are not angels, but he is an angel, a fallen angel.
Perhaps he is one of the fallen angels, that long ago were cast down into this part of hell, because of their sin and rebellion.)

II Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jude 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

(However, the place, and its fire, were prepared for these angels:)

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

(Have the angels under chains of darkness, been tormented by the fire and these locusts, continuously for over 5,000 years?
The angel of the bottomless pit, though, is king over the locusts, and perhaps is the one that commanded them, back in line 4.
Possibly, he is the one with the authority over all the other creatures in the bottomless pit.
However, even he, and the locusts, were all probably tormented by the fire, that Jesus had prepared for them, there.
Then, when the key is used to open the bottomless pit, not only does the smoke and locusts come up out of the pit,
he is free at that time to also come up out of the pit, not only to command the locusts, but to do other things as well.
Apparently, he is a very powerful angel, and of high rank and authority.
His name is given, and though not many celestial beings have their names recorded in the scriptures, four others do:)

Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Ezekiel 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

(But the angel of the bottomless pit has his name told, explicitly what it is in two languages, Hebrew and Greek.
His name is different in the two tongues: Abaddon means destruction, while Apollyon means destroyer.
No one speaks Koine Greek anymore, even though Hebrew is spoken again, in fulfillment of:)

Jeremiah 31:23a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity;

(So, why is he identified, then, in both Hebrew and Greek? Could it be by contrast to the title given to Jesus on the cross?)

Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(So, for the angel of the bottomless pit, Hebrew and Greek are used, but in his case, Latin is not, why would that be?
Could it be that when he comes up out the pit, that there will be some Roman or catholic connection to him?
Jesus, the King from above, comes down to be King on earth.
So, by contrast, does the angel of the bottomless pit, the king from below, come up to also be king on earth?
Simply by his names, he is known as the destroyer from destruction, which is tied to perdition:)

I Timothy 6:9c  which drown men in destruction and perdition.
