Apollyon:
or, as it is literally in the margin of the Authorized Version of Revelation 9:11 "a destroyer," is the rendering of the Hebrew word ABADDON, "the angel of the bottomless pit." From the occurrence of the word in Psalm 88:11, the rabbins have made Abaddon the nethermost of the two regions into which they divide the lower world; but that in Revelation 9:11, Abaddon is the angel and not the abyss is perfectly evident in the Greek.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
