Revelation 9:1

¹⁰The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of water.

²He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a^[+] furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

⁷or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”

¹⁸and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

¹But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come. ²For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, ⁴traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

⁸The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

¹I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

¹¹They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”,^[+] but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”.

^12[+] The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

¹³The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

³¹They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

²I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
