King of the Demons of Hell. The term“abaddon” in Hebrew context is another word for destruction; also known as Apollyon in Greek, which means “The Destroyer”.
In the Holy Bible
New Testament, the Book of Revelation speaks of him as an angel (fallen) and
refers to him as the king/ruler of an army of “Locusts”. He blows his horn
which summons them upon the earth to harm the people who do not have the seal
on God on their foreheads.
Bible describes a period
during the end times when angels sound seven trumpets. Each trumpet signals the
coming of a new judgment on the people of earth. When the fifth angel blows his
trumpet, the Abyss, a great smoking pit, will open, and a horde of demonic
“locusts” will rise out of it.
These creatures will be given the power to
torture any person who does not bear God’s seal. The pain they inflict will be
so intense that sufferers will wish to die.
Abaddon is the ruler of the Abyss
and the king of these demonic locusts.Abaddon is often used as
another name for Satan. However, Scripture seems to distinguish the two. We
find Satan later on in Revelation, when he is imprisoned for 1,000 years.He is
then released to wreak havoc on the earth and ultimately receives his final,
eternal punishment.
