3rd century Acts of Thomas.

He is the chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy, the king of the grasshoppers, or demon locusts, he is supposed to seize Satan himself, bind him and toss him into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.

Although appearing somewhat contradictory, if Abaddon was indeed the devil and also responsible for binding the devil, then it could be suggested that Abaddon is the devil who by his own misguided way' causes his own downfall. (Into a bottomless pit).

[12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

One disaster down, two more to come!

[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

[14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

[15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

[16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand, thousand: and I heard the number of them.

[17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

[18] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

[19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

Here John reveals that a third of the world will die by fire, smoke and brimstone.

[20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

[21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Those who disobey the Ten Commandments.

Those who do not follow the word of God.

To be continued.
