Revelation 9:11

And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

·         Satan has a hierarchy, which includes a demonic king over the locusts from the bottomless pit named “Abaddon” (Hebrew) or “Apollyon” (Greek), which means destroyer (English), thus describing his purpose.

·         This king is not Satan, who rules from the heavenly places and not the bottomless pit (Eph. 6:12). He is the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2). Beelzebub is the ruler of the demons (Mt. 12:24). Satan will be thrown into the bottomless pit after Jesus’ coming (Rev. 20:1-3).
