When Satan Temps Me to Despair | Andy Naselli

When Satan temps me to despair and tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see him there who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free,
For God, the Just, is satisfied to look on him and pardon me.

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.
