Angels-APPOLION

The name Appolion (also Appolyon or Apollyon) means “destroyer”
and refers to the angel of hell’s bottomless pit. As described in Rev.
9:1–11 and 20:1–8, Appolion opens the shaft of this pit and lets out
upon the earth a swarm of locusts with humanlike faces. The locusts
proceed to torture those of mankind who “have not the seal of God
upon their forehead.” The locust “king,” Appolion later takes on an
even greater challenge than managing his brood, which is to seize
Satan, bind him, and then throw him in the bottomless pit for a thousand
years. Appolion locks Satan away, so that he “should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years were ended”(after which Satan
comes out again for a short while to try to entrap mankind once again).
In most biblical references, Appolion is a good angel who serves
God, but in other writings he has fallen and succumbed to evil. In
John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, for example, Appolion is the Devil
himself, with fire and smoke coming out of his belly. In Hebrew,
Appolion is known as Abaddon, and in Greek lore he is the fallen sun
god Apollo, living in hell as a serpent angel.The name Appolion has
also been used to mean hell itself.
