Revelation 9:2
2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like
the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of
the smoke of the pit.
What is bottomless pit?
The
Bible has much to say concerning the destination of men's souls at death and
the dwelling place for demons. First, the Bible teaches in 1Corinthians
15 that our existence is one partly of flesh and partly of spirit.
The flesh of our bodies is destined to end at our physical death, but our spirit
is eternal. Therefore, when our physical body dies, our spirit must go to a new
place.

First of all, one has to
understand that there are 3 greek words that are translated "hell" in
the New Testament in the King James Bible.
·
The Hades (I n Hebrew it is called Seoul) is 10 times translated as "hell",
Jesus teaches in Luke 16 that God has prepared a place of confinement
(prisoned) for the souls of those who die without faith. The place is called
Hades, which we call Hell. This place holds the souls of all men who have died
without faith in God's promises (i.e., unbelievers), and these persons will
remain in soul-form in Hades until the day of their judgment. That day is
called the Great White Throne Judgment, which is described in Revelation 20:
Rev. 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened; and another book
was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged
from the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds.
Rev. 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
Rev. 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev. 20:15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Rev. 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
Rev. 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev. 20:15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The Greek word Gehenna is 12 times translated as "hell",
but it actually refers to the lake of fire that all the occupants of hell and
even hell itself will be cast into at the end of the Great White Throne
Judgment as scripture says. Once the Great White Throne Judgment concludes, the
souls of all unbelievers will be condemned for their sin and cast into the Lake
of Fire, which is their final eternal home. Jude 7 speaks of this eternal home.
Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

The
Greek word pronounced ab-oos-oh-sos means depthless - a paradoxical definition
whereby something is so deep that it has no depth. It's less of a seeming
contradiction if one states it as something is so deep that it has no
measureable depth. The English word "abyss" originated from that Greek
word. and But actually that refers to the bottomless pit (extremely hopeless
situation )or abyss which is the lowest part of Hades where there are some
fallen angels imprisoned there now as stated in 2 Peter 2:4 in the New
Testament, and where Satan himself will be imprisoned at the end of this age.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their proper
domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
And he said, “ Legion”; for many demons had entered him.
Luke 8:31 They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the
abyss.

The bottomless pit is a place only
for fallen angels and for Satan, but hades which is translated hell as stated
earlier is a place for human lost souls which is above the bottomless pit
Revelation 9:1 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon (in English it is called “the destroyer”)
Revelation 11:7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,
Revelation 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.
Revelation 20:1-3 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
smoke arose
out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were
darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
Here smoke
This is smoke is symbolic writing of
John. He tells when the smoke came out from the bottomless pit the sun were
darkened.
Now the arrested all evil spirits
were released from their place. God gave the permission to them to torment the whole
earth. So the earth came to the control of satan. During the five month time
the earth was under control of satan. So the light (Jesus) left the people to
satan’s hand. The satan rule is referred as darkness.
