Lesson 69 Amplified – ABUSSOS

ABUSSOS

American: depthless, bottomless, abyss 

In Amplified Lesson 66 we studied Gehenna and Haides the abodes of the damned. The abussos is another place in the netherworld. This place is most feared by the demons. 

Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Romans 10.6: But the dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness] emergent from pisteos [reliance upon, faith] says thus, “Not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to Ouranon [Heaven]?’ that is to lead down the Christon [Anointed One, Mashiyach, Messiah, Christ] or ‘Who will descend to the abussos?’ that is to lead up the Christon from among the dead.”

 

DEUTERONOMY 30.11: [Moses speaking] “For this command (which I command you today) is not too pala [difficult] for you and it isn’t too remote [far off]. It isn’t in the Shamayin [Ouranos] such that you should say, ‘Who shall ascend to the Shamayin and get it for us and cause us intelligently to listen to it in order that we may do it?' And it isn’t beyond the Mediterranean Sea such that you should say, ‘Who will go around to the region beyond the Sea and take it for us intelligently to listen in order that we may do it?’ For the dabar [logos] is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart in order that you may do it.”

 

Romans continues: But what says it? “The rhema [utterance] is near you (in your mouth and in your heart).” That is the rhema of pisteos (which we kerussomen [proclaim, herald]), that if you acknowledge [covenant] in your mouth the Kurion Jesus and pisteuses [have faith] in your heart that Theos awakened Him emergent from dead, you sothese [will be safe; will be saved]. For with the heart one pisteuetai [holds faith] toward dikaiosunen and with the mouth one acknowledges toward soterian. For the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] says, “Everyone pisteuon [having reliance, having faith] upon Him won’t be shamed down,” for there isn’t a distinction for the same Kurios of all of mankind (both of Jew and of Greek) is wealth to all those appealing to Him for, “Everyone (whoever invokes the name [authority] of the Kuriou [Lord, Master]) sothesetai [will be safe; will be saved].”

 

JOEL 2.32: [YHWH speaking] “For it will be that all, who call out to the name of YHWH, mala [will be smooth, will be slippery, will escape, will be saved] for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance,” as YHWH has said, “and there is a survivor to whom YHWH shall call out.” 

Luke 8.26: And they sailed down into the territory of the Gaderenes which is on the opposite side of the Sea from Galilee. Now, He issuing upon the land, a certain man (emergent from the city) encountered Him, who had had demons for some time, and he not put on clothing and not stayed in a house but stayed in the tombs. Now, seeing Jesus and shrieking out, he prostrated himself before Him and with a megale phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] said, “What is there between me and You, Jesus, Son of Theos the Highest? I beg You not to torture me!” For He had commanded the impure pneumati [winds, breaths, spirits] to come forth from the man. For many times it [they] had seized him and he was [had been] shackled with manacles and shackles and was being guarded when tearing apart the bands, he was driven into the wastelands under the power of the demons. Now, Jesus questioned him [the spokes-spook], saying, “What is your name?” Now, he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him, and they implored Him in order that He not order them to go off into the abusson. 

Revelation 9: And the fifth aggelos trumpeted and I saw a star (emergent from ouranos) having fallen to the earth. And the same [aggelos] was given the key to the pit of the abussos and he opened the pit of the abussos and a smoke went up (emergent from the pit) like the smoke of a megales furnace. And the sun and the aer [air] was obscured [darkened, blackened] and emergent from [due to] the smoke of the pit.

 

Luke continues: Now, there was a considerable herd of swine rooting in the mountain and they [the demons] implored Him in order that He would allow them to enter those swine. Now, issuing emergent from the man, the demons entered the swine and the herd bolted down the precipice into the lake and was drowned. Now, the herdsmen (seeing the event being caused to be) ran away. And going off, they announced these events to the city [Gadara, the capital of the Roman province of Peraea] and to the country. Now, they came forth to see the event (being caused to be) and came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had issued (clothed and of sound mind) sitting down near the feet of Jesus. And they were frightened. Now, those seeing how the man formerly manipulated by demons was esothe [made safe, saved], they apaggeilan [reported] this to them. And the populace all around the region of the Gadarenes requested Him to go away from them because they were gripped with megalo fear. 

2nd Peter 2: But there were also pseudoprophetai [false prophets] in [among] the people, as also in you will be pseudodidaskaloi [false teachers], who will introduce destructive haireseis [factionalism, dissenting belief, heresy], also contradicting the Despoten [Ruler, Master, Despot] having redeemed them, further inflicting themselves with abrupt destruction. Many will follow out their ruin via whom the roadway of the truth blasphemethesetai [will be defamed, will be slandered, will be vilified, will be blasphemed]. In avarice they will peddle to you well-formed logois [words] for whom the long-standing krima [judgment] not dawdles, and their ruin not nods off. For if Theos not spared hamarton [missing the mark or goal; erring, offending, sinning] aggelon but surrendered them to chains, thrust down into gloomiest Tartaros [the deepest part of the abussos] into reserved judgment and if Theos not spared the primeval kosmou but preserved the eight of Noah, a keruka [proclaimer, herald] of dikaiosunes, while further afflicting the irreverent kosmo [universe, world, cosmos] with kataklusmon [an inundation] and if Theos katekrinen [decided against, passed judgment against, declared a verdict against] the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah [“Submersion”] to katastrophe [overturning, demolition] by reduction to ashes, placing [setting] an exhibit to those intending to act irreverently and yet He rescued dikaion Lot, he having been worn down under the in-licentiousness behavior of The Lawless. 

Revelation 20: And I saw an aggelon coming down (emergent from Ouranou) having the keys of the abussou and a megalen chain upon his hand. And he seized the dragon (the primeval snake, who is the diabolos [leader to shame, devil, satyr] and Satanas [Satan, Accuser]) and he bound him for a thousand years and threw him into the abusson and closed him up and signet-sealed up above him. This is done in order that he shouldn't cause the ethne [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] to stray until the thousand years are ended. And after these things [thousand years] it is necessary that he be loosed for a mikron space of time.
