➥ “Seized the Devil” & Locks him up!
Before Jesus’ 1,000-year reign, the “angel of the bottomless pit” “seized the dragon…and bound him for a 1,000 years, and threw him into the pit (Greek word “abyssos”), and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the 1,000 years were ended.” Revelation 20:1-3
➥ “Was given the Key” / “Having the Key”
In the 5th Trumpet at Rev 9:1, the “Angel of the Bottomless Pit” “WAS GIVEN the Key to the Bottomless Pit.” In Revelation 20, it says “I saw an Angel…HAVING the Key to the Bottomless Pit.” In their 1st appearance, he was “GIVEN the Key” and in his 2nd appearance, he is described as “HAVING the Key.”
➥ “Opened” / Closed (“Sealed & Shut”)
In the 5th Trumpet he “opened” the “shaft” of the “Bottomless Pit” and in Revelation 20:1-3, “he seized the … devil … bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and SHUT it and SEALED it over him… until the thousand years were ended.”

➥ “Abaddon” – “Apollyon” – Destroyer
The Name of the “angel of the bottomless pit” is identified in the 5th Trumpet. “His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, he is called Apollyon” Rev 9:11. Abaddon and Apollyon mean destroyer.
➥ Agents of YHWH or the Devil?
Satanic Lamestream Twistianity deceptively calls the “angel of the bottomless pit” & the “Locusts” demon agents of Satan.
Here are 3 reasons why they are both the Good Guys:
1) Locusts target “sting” & “torment” only “those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” Rev 9:4 KJV
2) Angel of the Bottomless Pit “seized the dragon…and bound him for a 1,000 years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him” Rev 20:1-3. Obviously, he is a good guy!
3) All 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets & 7 Bowls of Wrath plagues & curses are initiated in Heaven around YHWH’s throne and directed at nonrepentant humans – Rev 5; 8:1-6; 15:1-8. ALL plagues and curses come from YHWH. Nothing from the 7 Seal, Trumpets & Bowls is initiated by the Devil or his demons.
