… Verse 10, they have tails like scorpions and stings, and in their tails is the power to hurt men, not kill them, for five months. They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon. Both of those names means destroyer. The first woe is past. Behold, two woes are still coming after these things. as terrible as this judgment is unimaginable pain for five months it's nothing compared to the second woe the sixth judgment that is yet to come the sixth trumpet the second woe is that of a demonic army look at revelation 9 beginning with verse 13 then the sixth angel sounded. And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God. And one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

… word destroy, talking about the devil. Jesus says in John 10, 10, the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. Revelation chapter 9, verse 11 says of demons, their king is the angel from the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon, the destroyer. That's what his name is. The clear teaching of the Bible exemplified in this story of this boy in Mark chapter 9 is that there is a demonic adversary who wants to destroy you and people around you in all these ways. This is what he does. 1 Peter 5, 8. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. The word means to destroy completely. And we don't think like this. We just think if we can't see it, if it's not real. But we saw this a few months ago when we were studying Ephesians chapter 6. We don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness and spiritual force of evil in the heavenly places. There are cosmic powers over darkness and spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places who want and are actively working to destroy you and people around you. That is the bad news. So what's the good news? Here's the good news from this story. Jesus has come with divine authority over the devil, and Jesus is able to deliver and restore all who trust in him. That's The good news. …
… the demon desire to possess human bodies to work their own wickedness. And then a final word in verse 11 about them, they have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. The angel of the abyss, he's the king. By the way, Proverbs tells us that locusts have no king, Proverbs 30, verse 27, the locusts have no king. But these demons do have a king. This angel of the abyss, this isn't Satan. Satan is the one who had the key that unlocked the abyss. This is some demon that has been put in charge of the abyss, and his name is Destroyer. So that's what's waiting for the world. Not only the physical judgment, but this demonic, hellish invasion, the destroyer and his force. Millions and millions of demons, unrestrained, unrestrained. We have demons in the world today, but they are restrained by the presence of the church and the Holy Spirit and the plan of God. …
