His function is to oversee the destruction of Earth on Judgment Day. In Job , Abaddon is mentioned along with death when Abaddon is first identified as an actual being and not merely a place. Some biblical interpretations even treat Lucifer Satan and Abaddon as the same figure.
However, many theologians point to specific passages in the Book of Revelation and other biblical passages as evidence that Abaddon is a distinct entity. For instance, one verse states : "They have over them as king the angel of the abyss.
Some scholars read this in conjunction with Proverbs , where the locusts have no king. So, while Lucifer functions as the king of Hell, Abaddon is the leader of the locust of demons unleashed to torture those who do not bear the seal of God. Many also point to Ephesians , where it's described that Satan has underlings. While Abaddon might not be synonymous with Lucifer, he shares similar traits. Those familiar with the Torah or the Bible know that Satan seeks to destroy the works and creations of God.
While Satan doesn't receive as much exploration in the Torah, his existence is undoubtedly present in the text. During the end of days in Revelation, God releases the demons of Hell. Humans who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads will suffer at the hands of Satan and his demons.
Here, Satan functions as the primary antagonist of God, and it's Abaddon who serves as the leader of the plague of demons to torture Earth. Abaddon is a controversial figure for some, as the interpretations differ on whether Abaddon is a minion of Satan or an angel of death authorized by God.
In both the Jewish and Christian traditions, Abaddon is not only the personification of a fallen angel but an actual place of destruction. In Job , Abaddon is described as a hellish abyss, "for it would be a fire that consumes to Abaddon. Some believe that Abaddon is both a manifest being as well as the bottomless pit that he oversees.
John writes of this abyss in Revelation, describing that "after the fifth angel sounds his trumpet, a star falls from heaven and opens the bottomless pit.
A storm of smoke arises, and from the smoke, a plague of locusts emerge to torment, but not kill, men who lack the seal of God on their foreheads. Some believe that Abaddon is merely a term for a hopeless pit like Hell. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,. After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,.
Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, In which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. For they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord. When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive.
And they took as their wives any they chose. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. They are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. Upon completion of this task, the jinn was then named to be guardian.
Everyone, including the angels, jinn, and corporeal entities, felt fear of him. Abbaton engaged in prayer and ultimately obtained the promise that any men who venerated him during their lifetime stood the chance of being saved. Abbaton is also said to have a prominent role in the Last Judgement, as the one who will take the souls to the Valley of Josaphat.
Yeah, that is the valley where he locks the doors leading out and draws his sword and slays all trapped in there with him. Every one, no exceptions. Punishment for worshipping a false god And well no one gets in abaddons way so yeah no one could save them from him He is described in the Apocalypse of Bartholomew as being present in the Tomb of Jesus at the moment of his resurrection. The symbolism of Revelation leaves the exact identification of Abaddon open for interpretation.
Halley identified the jinn as Satan. Note: he is the antichrist, after he's pushed to the point of beginning the end of days. Damien is basically Abaddon's younger self. Satan also works, except satan is oppositional whereas Abaddon is Homicidal. Hence the meek will inherit the earth. Abaddon doesn't put up with any lip or dirty looks, you either respect him or die burning and screaming cause he had a bad day or missed breakfast.
Jehovah's Witnesses now take the contrasting view, believing that Abaddon is another name of the resurrected and enthroned Jesus Christ. Note: yes, he is. Having died figuratively as the antichrist he becomes the destroyer and brings gods wrath to mankind After that, the power of the christ comes to him and saves him from - Himself!
Thirst for blood sated, he relents and lets the remains of mankind live. And, he clears away the problem jinn and jinni along the way. Satan will exist in the abyss until he 'sees the light' and stops being so difficult. The lightbringer or lightbearer returns from the abyss and lo and behold Be damien, then abaddon and the old abaddon is retired for the new blood.
There is an element I did not mention that accompanies these archtypes through each phase. Trust and believe there is a price to becoming a great one. That fear Abaddon gives to everyone and everything in existence comes from years and years of systematic abuse.
A serial killer being created bit by bit, careful not to trigger him and committed to punishing him to the point that all humans are garbage and need to die The locusts, storms and hurricanes, plagues, and hordes of spirits of particularly unsavory character and habits respond to his primal emotional lust for the destruction and chaos.
Power is not knowledge, despite what everyone says.
