And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Tenían un rey que gobernaba sobre ellos: un ángel del abismo sin fondo. En hebreo, su nombre es Abadón, y en griego lo llaman Apolión.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John around 95 AD during his exile on the island of Patmos amid Roman persecution, this verse is part of a vivid vision describing the fifth trumpet judgment, where locusts are released from the bottomless pit to torment humanity. These locusts are depicted as having a king, the angel of the abyss, whose dual names, Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek, both mean "destroyer," symbolizing the destructive forces of evil in a prophetic warning to early Christians. This imagery draws from Old Testament references to chaos and judgment, reflecting the cultural fears of demonic oppression in the first-century Roman world.
