@Podingo7 Might The Beast that comes from the abyss be some kind of heavenly body that comes close enough to earth's orbit that it causes much havoc on earth to the point of destruction unimaginable , but yet does.  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.   Modern man has found evidence of the earth going through periodical events of destruction. The destruction on the entire earth which has not been explainable except by something having an effect on earth's existence and has had the capabilities to cause such destruction. I imagine that the Abyss could be referring to the actual area which is south of the earth in our galaxy. So say if a brown or red dwarf sun with something like seven planets or meteorite style bodies which may look dragon like to ancient man and this heavenly body is traveling with it's objects that orbits in the vastness below earths orbit would surely make man marvel at the existence of viewing such a heavenly body coming close enough to earth to see , but this heavenly body actually does cause such destruction that it actually sends man back almost to the stone age periodically.And just maybe there is a human like origin's of people that live on one these heavenly bodies that come to earth periodically just like the Sumerian writings say that were found in the modern day Iraq. Nobody actually knows for sure what the bible is referring to, but one day it will all unfold right before our eyes like the bible says it will. This stuff will happen and even the most elect will not realize that it is happening. Here's a thought, I like to think that the money we use everyday for everything in our lives is actually controlled and owned by the same evil that is talked about in the the Book of Revelation. Therefore we are already deep into the end of days and President Trump is actually being used by God Almighty as He used Cyrus in the Bible. The taking down of the Deep State Cabal is actually that which is referred to as Satan and Satan's Army and the Democrats that choose to continue on this false narrative are actually soldiers of Satan that must be treated as such. Regardless of how we fight against this hypocrisy of evil players that must be treated as though our lives depend on it , because the do.( I'l leave here or I can go on forever with this subject ) wwg1wga
