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).

 Psalm 17:4  Concerning the works of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.

Daniel 11:14  Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South.  Also, violent men of your people shall exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall fall.
