The past rule of Abaddon-Apollyon ..... and his future return to rule again:
Revelation
9:11 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.
17:8 The beast that thou sawest was ruling [in the ancient past], and is not [was not ruling in the first century .... and still is not]; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit [at the time of the end of this present age to rule again [
Revelation 9:1; 9:11, 11:7] , and go into perdition [his destruction [
Revelation 19:20]: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [this angelic beast rules over 7 Middle Eastern kingdoms for Satan ..... 5 have fallen .... and 2 will follow at the time of the end of this present age]
17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads [kingdoms of the Middle East] are seven mountains, on which the woman [the great city part of MBG [lost humanity], sitteth [this great city of the gentiles is dominating the beast's kingdom of the Middle East at the time of the end] [
Revelation 17:16-18; 18:1-21].
17:10 And there are seven kings [human king positions of the beast's kingdoms]: five are fallen [neo-Babylon [lion], Media-Persia [bear], Alexander-Syrio/Babylonia [leopard]] [
Daniel 7:3-7;
Revelation 13:1-4], and one is [at the beginning of the time of the end of this present age .... the smaller kingdom .... the 6th;[
Daniel 8:9], and the other is not yet come .... the 7th divided kingdom of iron and clay; and when he cometh [the beast], he must continue a short space. [
Revelation 11:2; 11:7; 13:5]
17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [will fully possess the little horn of Daniel's visions [
Daniel 8:9-12; 23-25; 9:26-27; 11:36-45; 12:7]; and become the 8th king himself .... the combination of a human king and fallen angel], and is of the seven [rules over all of the 7 human kingdoms and related king positions], and goeth into perdition. [to his destruction [
Daniel 11:45;
Revelation 19:20]
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings [
Daniel 7:7-8], which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour [a short period of 42 months] [
Revelation 11:2; 13:5] with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [
Revelation 19:11-21]
