Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers在他的着作《Greater Key of Solomon 》里则声称,摩西曾藉助abaddon的力量惩戒过埃及,相关部分可以在〈圣经 出埃及记》中看到
The Pharaoh or king of Egypt would not let Moses take God's people back to the promised land.
So God said I will send plagues to harden Pharaoh's heart and then he will let my people go.The Ten plagues from God on the King of Egypt were the plagues of: blood, frogs, gnats, flies, livestock, boils, hail, Locusts, darkness, Death of first born.
耶和华见证人(美国的一个宗教组织),起初认为abaddon是一位魔鬼,但是现在则证实他并不是魔鬼,而是堕落天使,在圣经《启示录》中,这样描述,the angel with the key of the abyss and a large prison in his hand seized the dragon (Satan the Devil) and threw him down into the abyss, and closed it on him (Satan)",而文中“the angel with the key of the abyss”指的就是abaddon
