Thematic Bible: Pit
Thematic Bible
Pit » Figurative
I was despondent.
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it!
will fall into his own pit,
but the blameless will inherit what is good.
out of the muddy clay,
and set my feet on a rock,
making my steps secure.
and a stranger is a narrow well;
and the one who breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
He dug a pit and hollowed it out, but fell into the hole he had made. His trouble comes back on his own head, and his violence falls on the top of his head.
or the deep swallow me up;
don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.
they violate Your instruction.
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.
and he who climbs from the pit
will be captured in the trap,
for I will bring against Moab
the year of their punishment.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Pit » Figurative » The bottomless pit
They had as their king the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the 1,000 years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.
When they finish their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, conquer them, and kill them.
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who live on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present again.
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key to the shaft of the abyss was given to him. He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft like smoke from a great furnace so that the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.
