9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and ^(A)I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given ^(B)the key to the shaft of ^(C)the bottomless pit.^[a]

² He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft ^(A)rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and ^(B)the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

¹¹ They have ^(A)as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is ^(B)Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.^[a]

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, ^(A)the beast that rises from ^(B)the bottomless pit^{[a] (C)}will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,

⁸ The beast that you saw ^(A)was, and is not, and ^(B)is about to rise from ^(C)the bottomless pit^[a] and ^(D)go to destruction. And ^(E)the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^(F)the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^(G)it was and is not and is to come.

The Thousand Years

20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ^(A)holding in his hand the key to ^(B)the bottomless pit^[a] and a great chain.

³ and threw him into ^(A)the pit, and shut it and ^(B)sealed it over him, so that ^(C)he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
