Abaddon
This article is about the Hebrew word. For other uses, see Abaddon
(disambiguation).
Abaddon (Hebrew אבדון Avadon, meaning "destruction"). In Biblical poetry (Job
26:6; Proverbs 15:11), it comes to mean "place of destruction", or the realm of
the dead, and is associated with Sheol. Abaddon is also one of the compartments
of Gehenna.
In Revelation 9:11, it is personified as the demon Abaddon, "Angel of the
Abyss", rendered in Greek as Apollyon; and he is described as king of the
locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet. In like manner, in Rev.
vi. 8, Hades is personified following after death to conquer the fourth part of
the earth.
Abaddon is one of the infernal names used in Satanism, and is first in the
list—only as it comes first alphabetically—and means "the destroyer."
