It is associated with the concept of utter ruin and desolation. In some contexts, it is personified as a destructive force or entity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew thought, Abaddon is closely linked with Sheol, the abode of the dead. It represents the ultimate end of life and the finality of death. The term reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of the afterlife as a shadowy existence, distinct from the vibrant life on earth. Abaddon is sometimes depicted as a place of punishment or a force of chaos, reflecting the fear and mystery surrounding death in ancient cultures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6.htm">abad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(place of) destruction or ruin, Abaddon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Abaddon (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲבַדּוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font><sup>? <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/27-20.htm">Proverbs 27:20</a></sup> abstract nearly = <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> (place of) <font size="+1"><b>Destruction, Ruin, 'Abaddon</b></font> (compare <img src="/bdbgif/bdb000202.gif"> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/28-32.htm">Job 28:32</a> etc.) — <font class="hebrew2">אֲבַדּוֺן</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/26-6.htm">Job 26:6</a> (+ 4 t.); q. v. <font class="hebrew2">אבדה</font> Kt <font class="hebrew2">אֲבַדּוֺ</font> Qr <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/27-20.htm">Proverbs 27:20</a>. — Place of ruin in <i>Sh®°ôl</i> for lost or ruined dead, as development of earlier distinction of condition in <i>Sh®°ôl</i> (see <font class="hebrew2">שְׁאוֺל</font>).
