Revelation 9:1

1. Star fall from heaven Rather star fallen from heaven. Note Revelation 4:11. The seer did not see the fall, for that had taken place ages ago. Jesus in spirit saw Satan falling as lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18. He beholds the fallen star on the earth, as king of the infernal locusts, and his name is Abaddon. Revelation 9:11.

Bottomless pit In the Greek the αβυσσος , or abyss, etymologically signifying, a depth without a bottom. Note Revelation 13:1. But the Greek phrase here is very peculiar φρεστος της αβυσσου , the well of the abyss. The abyss is the under world, consisting largely of waters, yet the abode of evil spirits and wicked souls. It is entered from the earth through a narrow descending passage or well; and this well has a key to it held by Abaddon, the fallen star.
