However, the "pit of the abyss" is located IN the abyss itself; that is, in hades, but is distinguished from the abyss by using the word "pit".

Nelson Walters joins us again, this time with Part 2 of his explanation why the Apostle John cried like a baby when it seemed like no one in heaven could open the 7-sealed scroll.

And because he never identified it, it also shows that he assumed his readers would know what a 7-sealed scroll was as well. In this Part 2 episode, Nelson continues his identification of the scroll's purpose and links the passages in Revelation with their parallel passages in the Book of Da ..read more

Dr. Alan Kurschner gave some context to one of the most common interpretations of the posttribulation view, where the seals, trumpets, and bowls occur roughly at the same time. Indeed, many posttribs believe the corresponding elements are the same events; i.e., the seventh trumpet is the seventh bowl. The posttribulation interpretation necessarily forces a framework upon the book of Revelation because of a deep-seated presupposition that they hold. The presupposition is that the depiction of the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19, with Christ appearing in the sky with his heavenly armies, i ..read more
