Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him.So, this set off the English alarm that my mother drilled into me in school. To whom is the ending "him" referring to? The obvious choice would be the angel blowing the trumpet, but why would one of God's angels, important enough to have this duty, be given control over what seems to be death?
I'm wondering if it's actually a reference to the star. We call demons fallen angels, or talk about them falling from Heaven to Earth, and that being the highest they can go. So what if this is a reference to Satan, and he's the one being given some control over death here?
