This section reveals to us the secret identity of the Beast, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, which means “destruction” and Apollyon in Greek, which means “destroyer.” This is the spirit that empowers the man we call the Antichrist. The Beast is one of the greatest of all the angels ever created by God, being one of the “first of the ways of God.” He will get supercharged by Lucifer as this Dragon gives the Beast his power, and his throne, and great authority.
Throughout the Codex, we find that the Destroyer was used by God as a means of bringing destruction against many nations. He also manifested himself to humanity and demanded to be worshiped as a god known as Chemosh. He crossed some line with God and was imprisoned in the Abyss. But upon his release at the 5th Trumpet, he will take on the mantle of God declaring that he is God. His release along with the army of locust-like demonic beings with scorpion tails that will lie, seduce, and deceive people to follow the Beast is the first of three WOES.
