Revelation 9:1



Then the fifth angel sounded:  and I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth.  To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

·        The text clearly shows us that this star is a person (to him), not a literal star. The verb tense (fallen) indicates that he already had fallen. (DG)

·        This key becomes the devil’s turnkey, to let loose the powers of hell against the churches of Christ (MH)

Isaiah 14:11-16 ….How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!.....

Psalm 30:3  O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
