Abaddon
Variations: Abadon, ‘Abadown, ABBADON,
Abbadown, Apolloyon, the Destroying Angel,
the King of the Grasshoppers, Prince of War,
Sovereign of the Bottomless Pit
From the Hebrew word for “destruction,”
Abaddon (“the Destroyer”) is one of the few
demons mentioned by name in the Old Testament. In the King James commission of the Bible
he is mentioned by name five times. Accredited
by various sources to be the demon of anger, hate,
vengeance, and war, Abaddon is said to command
the sixth House of Hell and its demonic locust
army, the very one that will torment the nonbelievers during the seventh, and final, trumpet
blast of the Rapture. Perhaps this is why he is
seen as both an angel of Hell and a destroying
angel of God. The locusts themselves are
demonic creatures, described as having a human
face, the body of a winged warhorse, and the poisonous stinging tail of a scorpion.

Abaddon is described as a gigantic figure veiled
in black and covered with whirling wheels. In his
hands he holds a large wheel that is spinning.
Some sources say he is snakelike in appearance
and has a belly full of fire.
During medieval times it was common for
scholars and demonologists to assign aspects to
the more commonly known demons. It was said
of Abaddon that he was particularly strong on
Saturdays in January when Venus was visible;
that his colors were blood red, brown, and green,
and that the ruby and the sword were symbolic
of him.
An advisor who inspires anarchy and chaos, he
has been given the titles of Chief Demon of Locusts, Demonic Ruler of the Abyss, and the King
of Demons.

‘Abaddown
Variations: ABADDON
‘Abaddown, Hebrew for “the destruction of

demonic locust army, dragons, or any of the other
creatures bound to the pit do not escape before

their proper time.
