You have not proven that Apollyon is Satan.

Revelation clearly distinguishes between Apollyon and Satan - as does the NT writings and even the OT

Apollyon is a specific named Angel - just as Satan has his own name
'scholars' are confused about many things in Scripture.

Just as the Archangel Michael has his own name
Just as the angel Gabriel has his own name
Apollyon Is Satan In The Greek Language "Fact"

You're now a Greek scholar, having knowledge above the late professor of Hebrew and Greek (James Strong) Big Smiles!

Your Claim Is "False"

Apollyon is used 1 time in the Holy Bible Rev 9:11 and it's the Greek word used for Satan

Strong’s Definitions
Ἀπολλύων Apollýōn, ap-ol-loo'-ohn; active participle of G622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan):—Apollyon.

The KJV translates Strong's G623 in the following manner: Apollyon (1x).

Show us where the OT clearly distinguishes between Apollyon and Satan. The name Apollyon (Hebrew: Abaddon) is not even mentioned anywhere in the OT.

Apollyon is a specific named Angel - just as Satan has his own name
Who do you think the locusts in Revelation 9 represent? Do you not understand that they represent fallen angels? If you do understand that, then who does scripture say is the king of the fallen angels? Verses like Matthew 25:41 and Revelation 12:9 call them "his angels" in reference to Satan. So, the description of Apollyon being the king of the locusts only fits Satan if you understand that the locusts represent the fallen angels.

'scholars' are confused about many things in Scripture.

Just as the Archangel Michael has his own name
Just as the angel Gabriel has his own name
Satan has multiple names besides Satan. Apollyon is one of them. Another name for Satan is Beelzebub, as the Pharisees called him (Matthew 12:24). Many believe his original name was Lucifer. Paul's reference to "Belial" in 2 Corinthians 6:15 is likely a reference to Satan, also. Each name describes a different characteristic of who the devil is. The name Satan means Adversary or Accuser. The name Apollyon means Destroyer. Satan is both an adversary/accuser and a destroyer.

Who is the falling star in Revelation 9:1-2 who opens the bottomless pit where Apollyon is ?

Revelation 20:1-2KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

scholars often make mistakes when they add or subtract from the words of GOD

scholars assumed on their own that Apollyon is Satan = the Scriptures deny that assumption

Thus why John said: "in Hebrew Abaddon"

Abaddon is the place of the dead = OT
Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man!

Whereas Satan roams the earth = Job 1:6-7
One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan.
“From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

Satan continues roaming the earth and will do so until the 2nd Coming of Christ = 1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Satan also rules from above the earth = Ephesians 2:2
You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world.
He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.

Satan has yet to be cast out of the heavens = Revelation 12:7-9
Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.
And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Satan has NEVER been locked up in the Abyss - but - will only go be sent there at the 2nd Coming of Christ = Rev 20:1-3
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain.
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete.
After that, he must be released for a brief period of time.
