The King of the Abyss
At the opening of Revelation 6ʼs Sixth Seal, a Latter Day
Revelation 6:12 …great earthquake… 14 …[causes] every mountain and island [to be] moved out of its place.”
Sometime thereafter,
Revelation 9:1 …a star having fallen from heaven to the earth…[will be] given the key to the pit [or, the shaft] of the Abyss. 2 And he [shall] open the pit of the Abyss,
thereby releasing its evil spirits. This “fallen star” will either be Satan or one of his host
Mosaic Law and Jewish Lore about Azazel
Leviticus 16 provides much of the Mosaic Law for Yom Kippur/the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year in the Israelite religious calendar. In verses 8, 10, and 26, the Hebrew word traditionally translated in English as “the scapegoat” is Azazel. The passages in Hebrew literally mean “for Azazel,” not “for the Azazel” –
Leviticus 16:8 Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats [:5 for a sin offering]: one lot for YHWH, and one lot for Azazel
Who IS the Beast?

Jude 6 The angels who did not keep their place of authority, but left their habitation, [God] has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
2 Peter 2:4 …God did not spare the angels
