Post by: seeker on September 10, 2008, 09:21:45 PM

i was wondering about abaddon i think he may be of greek origon but im not sure. His scripture is "And they had a king over them which is the angel of the bottemless pit whose name in Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in Greek tongue hath his name Appollyon." Revelation 9:11

He is not Greek, John was just transliterating his name to a tongue understood by the churches he wrote to.

I think more than anything he was suggesting a REG change (or failing that, it's an interesting point to consider).
