“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
Revelation 9:1 KJV
As John saw, “Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that fell from heaven to earth, and he was handed the key to the shaft leading down to the pit of the deep.” This bottomless pit or the well of the abyss is the same as how Genesis began when the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Jesus is the One Who holds the keys of death and Hades, for He unlocked both and walked out triumphantly in resurrection power. Many things are opened in Revelation - heaven, doors, books - with the purpose of releasing new understanding or revelation. There is a deep place in the human heart, like a pit, that Jesus opens, so that we can see what has been there inside us. What a privilege we have that through the Cross, the depth of our heart can be cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb and be filled with the love of God by the mighty Holy Spirit. Let’s be filled with the fire and passion for our Lord Jesus Christ as He has for each of us who believe in His great sacrifice on our behalf. Amen!
