<h1><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 18pt;">Apollyon - Who Is This?</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #000000;">In Revelation 9 we read of a king of the bottomless pit named Apollyon:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #000000;"><sup>7</sup> The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.<sup>8</sup> Their hair was like women&rsquo;s hair, and their teeth were like lions&rsquo; teeth. <sup>9 </sup>They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. <sup>10</sup> They had tails with stingers, like <em><strong>scorpions</strong></em>, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. <sup>11</sup> They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is <strong><em>Apollyon</em></strong> (that is, Destroyer). (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+9&amp;version=NIV" style="color: #000000;">Rev. 9:7-11 NIV</a>.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #000000;">Who is Apollyon among the Greeks?</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 18pt;">Could this be Apollo?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">In Roman mythology, Apollyon was "second only to Zeus, [and] he had the power of the <em>sun</em> as giver of light and life." This was because the moon could block out / destroy the Sun's light at will, proven by the lunar eclipses by the Moon of the Sun. (Encyclopedia of Religions (2006) at this<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=XRkfKdho-5cC&amp;lpg=PT67&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PT67#v=onepage&amp;q=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;"> link</a>.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">In Greek culture, the God of the Sun was Helios. But transliterations in Greek of Roman words was not uncommon. Paulos is Greek for Paulus, a Roman first name, for example. So was Apollyon a Greek transliteration of Apollo, a Latin term for the Sun God?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">On the plane of scholarly opinion, Hensius says indeed Apollyon in Revelation 9:11 means Apollo.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">In the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Edinburgh Encyclopedia</span> (ed. David Brewster) (J.&amp;E. Parker, 1832) Vol. II at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=FKxGAQAAIAAJ&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PA230#v=onepage&amp;q=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;">230</a>, it records:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">On this passage, Hensius makes the following observation: There can be no doubt that the Pythian Apollo is the same as the Ob and Abaddon of the Hebrews which the Greeks translated literally as Apollyon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">Why did John write Apollyon meant destroyer? As the same encyclopedia continues, the name Apollyon "derived his name from his hurtful rather than his beneficent qualifies." <em>Id. </em>This is based upon several proofs. One was a passage in Aulus Gellius, l. 5 c. 12 (Book 5, ch. 12). He describes the image of Vejovis, an ancient pagan deity. "The image of Vejovis holds arrows in his hands, as the instruments of destruction, on which account, most people think that he is the same as Apollo." <em>Id.</em>, at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=FKxGAQAAIAAJ&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PA230#v=onepage&amp;q=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;">230</a>. It was an ancient view that "all who died" were killed by the "arrows" of Apollo and Diana. <em>Id. </em><em>The encyclopedia cites Zosim, l.2., hist. Titus, Lives l. 37, Macrob Saturn, l. i. c. 17. Thus, the encyclopedia article says that Apollo began as a "malignant deity" until over time he became the refined "elegant deity of the Greeks and Romans." <em>Id.</em></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">Further, the encyclopedia continues that according to Vossius, De Idol vol. i, l. 2, he "supposes that the name Apollo is derived from Abelion of the east, a deity whose attributes are the same as Apollo's." <em>Id.</em>, at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=FKxGAQAAIAAJ&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PA230#v=onepage&amp;q=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;">230</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">Less scholarly opinion likewise concurs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">Professors&nbsp;<a href="http://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&amp;tbm=bks&amp;q=inauthor:%22Gary+Flanigan%22" class="secondary" style="color: #000000;"><span dir="ltr">Gary Flanigan</span></a>, <span dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&amp;tbm=bks&amp;q=inauthor:%22Glenn+Williams%22" class="secondary" style="color: #000000;">Glenn Williams</a> in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">111: </span></span><span class="subtitle"><span dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Media War Between Jesus Christ and Satan</span></span></span> (Tate, 2008) at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=tcDzPvT9dFsC&amp;lpg=PA131&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PA131#v=onepage&amp;q=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;">131</a> explain that "Apollo and Apollyon are one and the same" in Revelation 9:11.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">In Wakeman Ryno's work<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Amen: The God of the Amonians Or a Key to the Mansions in Heaven</span> (Kessinger 2006) says at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=5MbQPTgQ6cYC&amp;lpg=PA121&amp;dq=apollyon%20apollo%20sun%20god&amp;pg=PA121#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" style="color: #000000;">121</a> of Revelation 9:11 it signifies that:</span></p>
