the rapture???

No, Jesus has not returned and the dead are not yet raised. The kingdoms are becoming his not by an aggressive hostile invasion but by more and people volunteering. Doesn’t that sound more like Jesus than the typical Russian like invasion so often preached?
I know I keep saying this , yet I must continue .How are the dead not raised already if Christ brings them with Him at His return .

The problem is in not understanding the resurrection
 
Can't agree ,as satan is indeed the antichrist ,which in the Greek anti means instead of , and that's exactly how he shall deceive the world.

Apollyon is satan

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"].

Do you understand the fourth beast is supernatural
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.

Only Satan, the Dragon, and devil are names for him. The rest are either descriptions or other beings.

Abaddon comes out of the Abyss when the Dragon falls from Heaven. They both happen at the same time, so they cannot be the same.
 
In Revelations 9 when he is let out of the bottomless pit along with his locusts.
he was given the keys after he's kicked out of Heaven

revelation9
Revelation 9:1 "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him
he key of the bottomless pit
[pit of the abyss]."


The "star" that falls to the earth is the star of Isaiah 14. The star is "Lucifer", who will be the Antichrist once he arrives on earth. Satan is given the key, or authority to the bottomless pit, for this is where Satan's fallen angels are held.


Right now, today, Satan is not in that bottomless pit, but in heaven. He is the accuser of the saints before the throne of God. The fallen angels are in the pit, or the abyss. The pit is not a place, or location, but a point of degradation. It's a similar statement to Satan being told he would always crawl on his belly, as the serpent. No Satan never became a snake, but he was a deceiver and his actions were as that of a snake.

Here is where satan is now


Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power [authority] of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

That star is the Dragon after he is defeated by Michael the Archangel. Not the same as the King who comes out of the Abyss with an army of locusts.

How you figure that ?Yes the star is satan the dragon ,satan is that king over them whom the keys were given to .

Who do you see coming out of the abyss ?

What king ?

Scripture please

There is an Angel of the Abyss, that implies he comes from the Bottomless Pit. He is one being, an individual known from myth, one who was wounded to death and lived. That is simply not Satan. Do you know what Satan is? The Dragon has seven heads and ten horns like the Beast, because Satan is a spirit of coalesced spirits who deceive through following generations of an evil bloodline. Satan is not one, but many who inhabit the practitioners of evil on the Earth. A spirit of a nation called the Dragon behind a nation called the Beast.

Nooo , the head angel of the abyss is satan ,don't know what's implied that the king comes out of the abyss ,rather their king (satan) is given the key to releases them .

At the risk of giving satan some sort of credit, he is the head(king) over all demonic forces .It is him who let's those angels out , so how can the king be already in the abyss ?

The wounded to death is a system not an individual (one world government}that will be healed by this same dude who's over the abyss .

Do you understand the heads and horns ?

It all has a meaning. Every detail means something.

On the Dragon is seven heads and ten horns like the Beast. That means the Dragon is nations and kings, but not the same makeup as the beast because it is spiritual. However the Dragon is the same system that is the Spirits of the Beast who died and continue to deceive in the afterlife. Those are who comprise the Dragon and it's counterparts to the Beast being the seven heads and ten horns. They multiply through generations as the spirit of evil grows. That is Satan.

Abaddon is merely one being that is their god who "once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction." As it is written he will come out of the Abyss and be let out by the Dragon after he falls from Heaven from his battle with the Archangel.

Read these words and leave no part out because these will be your testimony to defeat Babylon and become a saint.

Yes I do understand the heads and horns ,not understanding why you can't see the below

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"].

There is no verse that says Satan is Apollyon, neither did Satan come out of the Abyss, so the Angel who does ascend from the Bottomless Pit who is Abaddon is a different entity.

Abaddon comes out of the Abyss as it is written. Therefore he is not Satan who falls from heaven to let him out. There is no verse that calls Satan the destroyer and search results do not work. Apollyon is not even the Greek equivalent to Abaddon or Satan who is Hades. The Hermeticists call the Angel of the Abyss Apollyon. They are however incorrect.
