    The return of Abaddon-Apollyon, a fallen angelic prince, is given in scripture and just who the human little human horn that this fallen angelic will possess is not known yet: [Revelation 9:11; 11:7; 17:8]

    The little horn, a human king, will appear in the northern Middle East rising up among 10 other Middle Eastern kings who will follow him at the time of the end .... his appearance will occur just at the beginning of the tribulation period. [Daniel 7:7-25; 8:9-12; 8:23-25; 11:36-45; Revelation 9:1-11; 17:8]

    Abaddon-Apollyon is the first beast of Revelation who will come out of the abyss .... released by satan himself. Here the term "beast" is used to describe a fallen angelic. [Revelation 9:1; 9:11; 17:8]

    This term is used differently in Daniel's visions and symbolizes the succession of different Middle Eastern empires ... three historical and the future and last of Abaddon-Apollyon's human dominions. [Daniel 7:3-7 .... three of these are historical [neo-Babylon, Persia, and Syrio/Babylonia]; the fourth will emerge at the time of the end]

    This final dominion will include two phases ... a 6th smaller dominion in the northern Middle East followed quickly by an expanded dominion of the region with 10 other kings. [Daniel 8:9; Revelation 17:10-14]

    His presence, kingdom on the earth, and actions are noted specifically in Revelation chapters 9:11; 11:7; 13:1; 14:9; 16:13; 17:8; and 19:19. He is the "angelic prince" that shall come to rule again and stand against the Messiah Prince .... Jesus Christ at the time of the end. [Daniel 8:9-12; 9:24-27]

    This beast [in the little horn, human king of the northern Middle East] will conquer the Middle East including Israel, and will fend off all other national opposition including the noted destruction of the "great city" [civilization] of the Gentiles [the nations]. [Daniel 11:36-44; Revelation 8:7-12; 14:8; 16:19; 17:16-18; 18:1-21; 19:1-3]

    Those who oppose his rule from the south, far east, and far north outside of the Middle East proper will be vanquished. [Daniel 11:40-44]

    The Lord's two Israelite prophets will stand for the Lord against this angelic prince [Abaddon-Apollyon] and his false prophet [also a fallen angelic who will manifest in two human cleric leaders .... two horns] during the 42 month rule of a conquered Israel [last 1,260 days of the 7 year tribulation period]. [Revelation 11:2-7; 13:11-18]

    The Lord will protect His two prophets during their service which will take place in Jerusalem occupied by the little horn and his followers .... the adherents of Islam. [Psalms 83; Ezekiel 38:4-7; Micah 5:5]

    The Lord will then turn on him and his human followers and destroy them in the next 30 days consumating at the battle of Armageddon. [Ezekiel 39:17-29; Revelation 14:14-20; 16:1-16; 19:20-21]

    This angelic beast and the false prophet will be destroyed in the lake of fire [only the Lord can destroy angelics], the human little horn and his followers will become bird food and their remains will be buried by Israel, and satan will be tossed into the same abyss. [Ezekiel 39:9-16; Revelation 20:1]

    This is a future picture of Israel and the nation's Middle Eastern enemies .... the adherents of Islam. Mohammud's claims of a visitation by the angel Gabriel were false, and he was most likely visited by satan himself .... or it is possible that he just made the whole story up to support his ambitions of control and conquest.

    The situation in the Middle East today is ripe for the coming of the "other prince" .... the "Mahdi" of the Islamic nation.

    It's amazing that you have all this information on Abaddon when he is mentioned once in the bible, and then in connection with locusts that arise out of the bottomless pit and torment people whose names were not written in the book of life.

    There is more linkage than just one

    [Revelation 9:11; 11:7; 17:8]

    There is also the link between the little horn [king] of Daniel's visions and this angelic beast

    Notice that the little horn is seen as the beast ruling with the other 10 horns [kings] in Revelation .... this same little horn is seen rising among the other 10 in Daniel's visions

    But you claim to have much knowledge of this Abaddon that is not supplied in the bible. He is said to be the king over the locusts that came out of the bottomless pit and the angel of the bottomless pit. That is the only information supplied by the bible about him.

    Daniel
    7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

    7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

    7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

    7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

    7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

    7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

    7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

    7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

    7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

    7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

    7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

    7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

    7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

    Revelation
    9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star [satan] fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [Revelation 12:4; 12:7-9; 12:12; 13:1-4]

    9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

    9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

    9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

    11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

    17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

    17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

    17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

    17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

    17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

    17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

    17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

    19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

    19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

    19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

    19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

    19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

    19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

    19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

    19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

    19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
