Abaddon (Abbadon,
the “destroyer “) - the Hebrew name for the Greek Apollyon, “angel of
the bottomless pit,” as in Revelation 9:10; and the angel or (star)
that binds Satan for a 1,000 years, as in Revelation 20. The
thanksgiving Hymns (a copy of which turned up among the recently
discovered Dead Sea Scrolls) speaks of “ the Sheol of Abaddon “ and
the torrents of Belial {that} burst into Abaddon.
” The 1st -century apocryphon The
Biblical Antiquities of Philo speaks of Abaddon as a place (Sheol,
hell), not as a spirit or demon or angel. In Paradise Regained
(IV, 624) Milton like-wise employs Abaddon as the name of a place,
I.e., the pit. As far as is known, it was St.John, who first
personified the term to stand for an angel. In the 3rd
-century Acts of Thomas , Abaddon is the name of a demon, or of
the devil himself - which is how Bunyan regards him in Pilgrim’s
progress. According to Mathers, The Greater Key of Solmon,
Abaddon is a name of God that Moses invoked to bring down the
blighting rain over Egypt.
The Cabbalist Joseph ben Abraham Gikailla
denominates Abaddon as the 6th lodge of the 7 lodges of
Hell (arka), under the presidency of the angel Pasiel (q.v.).
Klopstock in The Messiah calls Abaddon “death’s dark angel”. A
reference to Abandon’s “hooked wings” occurs in Francis Thompson’s
poem “To the English Martyrs.
” {See Apollyon.} Abaddon has also been
identified as the angel of destruction, demon of the abyss, and chief
demons of the underworld hierarchy, where he is equated with Samael or
Satan. {Rf. De Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal: Grillot, A
Pictorial Anthology of Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy, p.126.} In
the latter work, Abaddon is the “Destroying Angel of the Apocalypse. “
In Barrett, The Magus, Abaddon is
pictured, in colour, as one of the “evil demons.

the order are Zaphkiel and Jopiel (qq.v.).

Abbadona-a fallen angel, a seraph, at one time the chosen
companion of the faithful Abdiel (q.v.).In Klopstock, The
Mesiah, Canto 21, Abbadona, not wholly committed to the rebellion
and constantly bemoaning his apostasy, is called “the penitent angel.”
It should be pointed out, however, that a fallen angel cannot
repent-not, at least in Catholic doctrine-for once an angel sins, he
is “fixed eternally in evil” and his mind, accordingly, can think evil
only. |
