Origin

The etymological origin is the decisive origin canon of 'destruction (destruction)' derived from the Hebrew verb avad meaning 'to perish, destroy (to perish, destroy)', and the decisive Old Testament canon is the decisive origin canon of Job (Job) 26:6 of c. 6th-4th century BCE — 'Hell is naked before him, and destruction (Abaddon) hath no covering' — and 28:22 — 'Destruction (Abaddon) and Death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears' — and 31:12 — originally meaning a personified grave or place of destruction.

The decisive New Testament canon is the decisive origin canon of Revelation (Revelation) 9:1-11 of the 1st century CE in which when the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, a star fallen from heaven to earth received the key to the bottomless pit (Abyss), and the pit was opened, and a locust-like army came out with the teeth of lions (verse 7), faces of men, hair of women, teeth of lions, and tails like scorpions (verse 10), and tormented for five months (verse 5) the humans who did not have the seal of God, with verse 11 — 'And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit (angel of the bottomless pit), whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon'.

Stories

Job 26:6, 28:22, and 31:12 of c. 6th-4th century BCE 'Abaddon' is the decisive origin, and the decisive textual canon is Proverbs 15:11 and 27:20, Psalm 88:11, and Revelation 9:11 of the 1st century CE. The decisive canon frequently called upon as a symbol of apocalypse, judgment, and destruction in apocalyptic literature and horror genres, and the decisive canon as a double-sided figure rather than mere evil, with orthodox theology also viewing him as an angel executing God's apocalyptic judgment. The decisive 17th-century English-literary canon is the decisive canon of the combat between the protagonist Christian and Apollyon in the Valley of Humiliation in Part 1 of The Pilgrim's Progress (The Pilgrim's Progress) of 1678 by the English John Bunyan (John Bunyan, 1628-1688) — Apollyon described as 'a hideous monster with scales like a dragon, feet of a bear, mouth of a lion, and wings of darkness'.

Weakness

Abaddon's weaknesses are: (1) God's command — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of Revelation 9:1 — 'And I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit' — opens the bottomless pit only by God's appointed time and authority, cannot open the bottomless pit without God's command; (2) the five-month limit — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of Revelation 9:5 and 10 — 'And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months' — authority to torment humans for only five months; (3) the limit of God's seal — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of Revelation 9:4 — 'but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads' — cannot harm the righteous who have God's seal; (4) limits of time and scope of power — the decisive canonical weakness — his power is limited in time and scope by God; (5) Christ's authority — the decisive canonical weakness; (6) binding of the Abyss — bound to the Abyss; (7) binding of the sacred domain — the decisive canon; (8) binding of the fifth trumpet — released only at the time of the fifth trumpet. The decisive canonical finale is the decisive mythological canon of Christian repelling Apollyon with the 'sword of the Spirit' in Part 1 of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress of 1678.
