Abaddon cannot be Satan, because the Dragon is Satan as it says in Revelations 12 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." After the Dragon falls to Earth, he has the key to the Abyss and releases Abaddon. That is the star that falls from heaven and is given a key to the bottomless pit. The Dragon gives power to the image of Beast that is inhabited by Abaddon. Now, is there two Satans? Because only one can be Satan.
Yes the dragon is satan, as he has many names .
revelation12
Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Sa'-tan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
revelation9
Revelation 9:11 "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the He'-brew tongue is A-bad'-don, but in the Greek tongue hath his [the] name A-pol'-ly-on."
There can be no doubt who the Antichrist is. Jesus is telling us here, through the pen of John. Satan is that King; and "Abaddon" in the Hebrew language means "destroyer" and that is Satan's name. This is verified in the Greek the name, "Apollyon" [Strongs # 623, "the destroyer "Satan"]. |
