The Star Falling from Heaven (Revelation 9:1)
"Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit." (Revelation 9:1)
The star represents a nuclear bomb or device descending from the sky—whether in the past or the future. Its fiery descent mirrors the terrifying impact of atomic weapons, marking the beginning of an era of devastation.
The King of the Bottomless Pit (Revelation 9:11)
"And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit →" (Revelation 9:11)
At the heart of the abyss stands its ruler: nuclear energy itself. Once unleashed, it became both a source of power and an uncontrollable force of destruction.
The Bottomless Pit: Chernobyl’s Meltdown
The bottomless pit is revealed in the Chernobyl disaster—an event where molten nuclear fuel breached the reactor’s bottom, leaving it symbolically and physically bottomless. Its smoke, radiation, and the irreversible damage it caused echo the apocalyptic vision in Revelation.
The Cherubim & Chernobyl Connection
The angel of the abyss is identified as the Cherubim, directly linked to Chernobyl through its name—both beginning with the same four letters. This striking linguistic connection reinforces the biblical prophecy, embedding divine truth within historical events.
The Unleashing of the Star: The First Atomic Bombings
In the final months of World War II, the world witnessed an event unlike any before—an act that would forever alter the course of history.
On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 AM, a B-29 bomber named Enola Gay soared over Hiroshima, Japan, releasing a single payload: Little Boy, the first atomic bomb ever used in warfare. Within seconds, a blinding flash illuminated the sky, followed by an explosion that instantly vaporized tens of thousands. A mushroom cloud rose, towering over the city, as firestorms consumed everything in their path. The devastation was incomprehensible—70,000 people perished instantly, with thousands more succumbing to radiation in the days and years that followed.
Three days later, on August 9, 1945, another B-29 bomber, Bockscar, carried Fat Man, the second atomic bomb, toward Nagasaki. At 11:02 AM, the bomb detonated over the city, unleashing a force even greater than Hiroshima’s. Though Nagasaki’s mountainous terrain shielded parts of the city, the destruction was still catastrophic—60,000 to 80,000 lives were lost.
The sheer power of these bombs forced Japan into submission. On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender, marking the end of World War II.
And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. (Revelation 9:11)
The King’s Dual Meaning
The king in the above scripture carries two meanings. The first as mentioned above, where the king represents nuclear energy. The second meaning refers to a biblical king who intends on causing deplorable devastation in the future.
In Revelation 9:11, the angel of the bottomless pit is named Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek.
The Meaning of Abaddon and Apollyon
- Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן) means "destruction" or "place of destruction." It is often associated with the abyss or the realm of the dead.
- Apollyon (Greek: Ἀπολλύων) translates to "Destroyer." The Greek root ἀπόλλυμι (apóllymi) means "to destroy completely".
These names signify a force of devastation, ruling over the abyss and unleashing destruction upon the earth.
Abaddon Identified
Next, I will show how YHWH identified the two men responsible through prophecy written many years prior. Abaddon is derived from Abba, meaning Father. The first man is of Hebrew or Jewish origin and is known as the father of the atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer: The Father of the Atomic Bomb
J. Robert Oppenheimer earned the title "Father of the Atomic Bomb" due to his leadership in the Manhattan Project, the U.S. initiative to develop nuclear weapons during World War II.
- In 1942, Oppenheimer was recruited to work on the project, and by 1943, he was appointed director of the Los Alamos Laboratory.
- Under his guidance, scientists successfully designed and tested the first atomic bomb.
- On July 16, 1945, the Trinity Test marked the first detonation of a nuclear device, proving its devastating power.
- His leadership directly led to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, forever changing warfare and global politics.
Oppenheimer later reflected on his role, quoting the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Apollyon Identified
The second man was born in Rome, which country adopted and worshipped Apollo, integrating him into their pantheon from Greek mythology and is known as "architect of the nuclear age" due to his groundbreaking work in nuclear fission and reactor development.
Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi was an Italian-American physicist whose groundbreaking work in nuclear physics laid the foundation for the development of the atomic bomb.
Early Life & Italian Heritage
· Born on September 29, 1901, in Rome, Italy, Fermi displayed an extraordinary aptitude for mathematics and physics from a young age. His intellectual curiosity was nurtured by his mentor, Adolfo Amidei, who recognized his brilliance early on. Fermi pursued higher education at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, earning his doctorate in physics at just 20 years old.
Role in the Manhattan Project
· Once in America, Fermi became a key figure in the Manhattan Project, the secret U.S. initiative to develop nuclear weapons during World War II. His most significant contribution was the creation of the first artificial nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1, in 1942. This experiment marked the first controlled nuclear chain reaction, proving that nuclear fission could be harnessed for energy—and weaponry.
