Abaddon (Paperback)

Paperback. AbaddonThe Angel of the Abyss Abaddon: The Angel of the Abyss - The Cruel Side of Love follows the Hebrew root abad - to perish, to be lost, to be destroyed - from the language of ruin in Job, Proverbs, and Psalms to the crowned angel of the abyss in Revelation 9. The book separates Abaddon from Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna, examines the Greek name Apollyon, and reads him as an authorized figure of destruction rather than a simplified fallen angel or ordinary demon.Across its chapters, the work moves between biblical exegesis, apocalyptic literature, demonological tradition, esoteric interpretation, and lived experience - covering the abyss, the fifth trumpet, the locusts of Revelation, the Watchers, Satan, Belial, Azazel, Samael, and underworld figures from other traditions, alongside grief, loss, collapse, impermanence, and the necessary dismantling that spiritual and psychological life sometimes demands. Who is the angel of the abyss? This study traces Abaddon from the Hebrew root abad through Job, Proverbs, Psalms, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Revelation 9 - reading destruction, demonology, esotericism, loss, and impermanence as one subject.
