The Hebraic Book of Revelation – Part 9 Rev 9:1 And the fifth heavenly angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from the heaven  to the earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.  Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Lk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. ….and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.  Three levels of existence: the earth, heaven above and the underworld beneath – conceived as a great hollow space in the depths of the earth which is connected with the world by a shaft. The temporal prison of S.atan during the millennial reign. The home or place of imprisonment of demons.  Lk 8:30 And Yahusha asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts 3 upon the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men who do not have the seal of יהוה in their foreheads.  Locust in Hebrew is ארבּה Alef-Resh-Bet-Heh – Arabeh –  one interpretation is these are demonic Islamic Jihadists empowered by Allah, now many don’t realize but according to Hastings Encyclopedia; “Allah a pre Islamic name associated with the Babyloniangod Bel – moon god sin.” Allah has 99 names. # 62 is ‘Al Mammit’ – ‘the destroyer’ – Rev 9:11. ‘Abaddon’/‘Apolluon’. John Wesley said, “All this agrees with the slaughter which the Saracens made for a long time after Mahomet’s [Mohammed’s] death.”   The army of locusts came forth from a dark cloud of smoke that rolled out of the bottomless pit. The “bottomless pit” in Greek is abussos, the source of our English word abyss.  In a book written to introduce English-speaking people to the basics of Islam, Mawdudi tells his readers that Muhammed and his message came out of “Arabia — the Abyss of Darkness.”  In the Bedouin romance Antar, the locust is introduced as the national emblem of the Ishmaelites (one of the ancestors of the Arabs) . And Muslim tradition speaks of locusts having dropped into the hands of Muhammed, bearing on their wings this inscription – ‘We are the army of the Great Al Mummit.’ Historical references from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries mention that Arabs wore beards (“faces of men”) and long, uncut hair (“as the hair of women”). In the Arab poem Antar, there’s a reference to beards, shoulder-length hair, and turbans on Arab men: “He adjusted himself properly, twisted his whiskers, and folded up his hair under his turban, drawing it from off his shoulders.” 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented for five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he stings a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.  7 And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared to battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 And they
