The term is derived from the Greek word "Apollyon," meaning "Destroyer." In the context of biblical literature, Apollyon is often associated with destruction and chaos, serving as a personification of evil forces opposed to God.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>The primary reference to Apollyon is found in <a href="/revelation/9-11.htm">Revelation 9:11</a>, which states: "They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon" . This passage occurs during the description of the fifth trumpet judgment, where a star falls from heaven to earth and is given the key to the shaft of the abyss. Upon opening the abyss, smoke rises, and locusts emerge to torment those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. Apollyon is identified as the king of these locusts, symbolizing his role as a leader of demonic forces.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>In Christian theology, Apollyon is often interpreted as a representation of Satan or a high-ranking demon under Satan's command. The dual naming of Apollyon as "Abaddon" in Hebrew and "Apollyon" in Greek underscores his universal role as a destroyer across different cultures and languages. This duality also highlights the comprehensive nature of his destructive power, which transcends human boundaries.<br><br>Apollyon's association with the abyss further emphasizes his connection to the forces of chaos and evil. The abyss, often depicted as a place of confinement for demonic entities, serves as a stark contrast to the order and holiness of heaven. As the angel of the abyss, Apollyon embodies the antithesis of divine order, seeking to undermine God's creation.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation:</b><br><br>The imagery of Apollyon leading the locusts is rich with symbolic meaning. Locusts, in biblical literature, are frequently associated with plagues and divine judgment, as seen in the Old Testament account of the plagues of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/10-12.htm">Exodus 10:12-15</a>). In Revelation, the locusts' torment of humanity serves as a manifestation of God's judgment upon those who reject Him.<br><br>Apollyon's role as the leader of these locusts suggests a structured hierarchy within the forces of evil, mirroring the organized nature of God's heavenly host. This structure implies that the battle between good and evil is not a chaotic struggle but a conflict with defined leaders and followers on both sides.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>The name Apollyon may also have cultural significance in the context of the Greco-Roman world. The Greek god Apollo, whose name bears phonetic similarity to Apollyon, was associated with prophecy, music, and healing but also had aspects linked to destruction and plague. While the connection between Apollo and Apollyon is not explicitly stated in the biblical text, the cultural backdrop of the early Christian era may have influenced the choice of name to convey the destructive nature of this demonic figure.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Apollyon stands as a powerful symbol of destruction and opposition to God's divine order. His presence in the Book of Revelation serves as a reminder of the spiritual warfare that underlies the physical world, highlighting the ultimate victory of God over the forces of evil. Through the imagery of Apollyon and the locusts, believers are called to remain steadfast in their faith, assured of God's protection and the eventual triumph of His kingdom.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Apollyon</span><p>a destroyer<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Apollyon</span><p>or, as it is literally in the margin of the Authorized Version of (<a href="/revelation/9-11.htm">Revelation 9:11</a>) "a destroyer," is the rendering of the Hebrew word <a href="../a/abaddon.htm">ABADDON</a>, "the angel of the bottomless pit."

Old Testament Background.<br><br>1. Fundamental Meaning:<br><br>The term Abaddon ("destruction") appears solely in the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament and in the following narrow range of instances: <a href="/job/26-6.htm">Job 26:6</a>; <a href="/job/28-22.htm">Job 28:22</a>; <a href="/job/31-12.htm">Job 31:12</a> <a href="/psalms/88-11.htm">Psalm 88:11</a> <a href="/proverbs/15-11.htm">Proverbs 15:11</a>. In all these passages save one (<a href="/job/31-12.htm">Job 31:12</a>) the word is combined either with Sheol, "death," or "the grave," in such a way as to indicate a purely eschatological term based upon the advanced idea of moral distinctions in the realm of the dead. In the one exceptional passage (<a href="/esther/8-6.htm">Esther 8:6</a> is incorrectly referred to-the word here is different, namely, 'abhedhan) where the combination does not occur, the emphasis upon the moral element in the "destruction" mentioned is so definite as practically to preclude the possibility of interpreting the term in any general sense (as Charles, HDB, article "Abaddon"; per con., Briggs, ICC, "Psalms" in the place cited.; BDB, sub loc.). The meaning of the word, therefore, is: the place or condition of utter ruin reserved for the wicked in the realm of the dead.<br><br>2. Personification:<br><br>One other feature of Old Testament usage is worthy of consideration as throwing light upon <a href="/revelation/9-11.htm">Revelation 9:11</a>. Abaddon and the accompanying terms "Death" and Sheol are personified (as in <a href="/job/28-22.htm">Job 28:22</a>) and represented as living beings who speak and act (compare <a href="/revelation/6-8.htm">Revelation 6:8</a>).<br><br>III. New Testament Usage.<br><br>1. The Starting-Point:<br><br>The starting-point of the Apocalyptist's use of "Apollyon" is to be found in the fundamental meaning of "Abaddon" as moral destruction in the underworld, together with the occasional personification of kindred terms in the Old Testament. The imagery was in general terms familiar while the New Testament writer felt perfectly free to vary the usage to suit his own particular purposes.<br><br>2. Apollyon not Satan but Part of an Ideal Description:<br><br>(1) Since Apollyon is a personification he is not to be identified with Satan (compare <a href="/revelation/9-1.htm">Revelation 9:1</a> where Satan seems to be clearly indicated) or with any other being to whom historical existence and definite characteristics are ascribed. He is the central figure in an ideal picture of evil forces represented as originating in the world of lost spirits and allowed to operate destructively in human life. They are pictured as locusts, but on an enlarged scale and with the addition of many features inconsistent with the strict application of the figure (see <a href="/revelation/9-7.htm">Revelation 9:7-10</a>). The intention is, by the multiplication of images which the author does not attempt to harmonize, to convey the impression of great power and far-reaching destructiveness.<br><br>(2) This interpretation finds additional support in the writer's significant departure from the familiar usage. In the Old Testament the place of destruction is personified-in <a href="/revelation/9-11.htm">Revelation 9:11</a>, personal forces issue from the Abyss, of which the presiding genius is Destruction in person. The seer's picture is equally independent of the tradition represented by the Talmud (Shabff. 55) where Abaddon is personified as jointly with Death president over six destroying angels. These modifications are evidently due to the exigencies of the pictorial form. It is clearly impossible to portray forces proceeding from the place of ruin in the charge of the place itself.<br><br>3. Apollyon Necessary to the Picture:<br><br>The importance of the conception of Apollyon to the completeness of the picture should not be overlooked. It is intended to represent these forces as having a certain principle of internal unity and as possessors of the power of effective leadership.<br><br>4. General Significance of the Description:<br><br>As to the specific significance of the vision of the locusts as a whole it is not easy to reach a conclusion. Professor Swete suggests (Commentary on Apocalypse in the place cited.) that "the locusts of the abyss may be the memories of the past brought home at times of divine visitation; they hurt by recalling forgotten sins." It seems to us more probable that it represents an actual historical movement, past or to come, demoniacal in origin and character, human in the mode of its operation and the sphere of its influence, used by God for a scourge upon mankind and kept in restraint by His grace and power.
