-These are words in Hebrew and Greek. John does not translate these words but chooses to transliterate them by substituting Greek letters for the Hebrew letters. The translators of the ULB and the UDB have not translated the meaning of these words in the ULB, but have rendered them both as "Destroyer" in the UDB. It is preferable to try to form the sounds of these words without translating their meaning.
+"Abaddon" is a Hebrew word, and "Apollyon" is a Greek word. Both words mean "Destroyer." John transliterated the sounds of the Hebrew word by writing them with Greek letters. The translators of the ULB and the UDB transliterated the sounds of both words by writing them with English letters. Translators are encouraged to transliterate these words using the letters of the target language. Since the original Greek readers would have understood the  meaning of "Apollyon," translators may also supply the meaning in the text or in a footnote.
 
 ##### Repentance #####
 This chapter mentions the theme of repentance. Despite these great miracles, the people are said to avoid repentance and remain in their sin. One should not lose sight of this theme when reading the book of Revelation. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

Some scholars think John described events happening from his time until the return of Jesus. Some scholars think John described events that will happen in a short period of time just before Christ returns.
