Abaddon or Apollyon -

Abaddon - G3 - Ἀβαδδών - Abaddōn - ab-ad-dohn' -Of Hebrew origin [H11]; a destroying angel: - Abaddon.

• H11 - אבדּון - 'ăbaddôn - ab-ad-done' - Intensively from H6; abstractly a perishing; concretely Hades:  destruction.

Apollyon - G623 - Ἀπολλύων - Apolluōn - ap-ol-loo'-ohn - Active participle of G622; a destroyer (that is, Satan): - Apollyon

• G622 - ἀπόλλυμι - apollumi - ap-ol'-loo-mee - From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.

Apollyon reminds me of the passage in Pilgrims Progress when Christian fights against him.

If you have never read this classic try Christian Classics Ethereal Library or Classic Bookshelf.  I HIGHLY recommend this book, in addition the biography on John Bunyan is a must as well!  Outside of the Bible, I can think of no other book which is such a blessing.  A wonderful allegorical tale of encouragement for the pilgrim (us) as we journey to our Celestial Home.

Here is a link to Pilgrim's Progress as a pictorial.
