is the abyss on earth
4. The Abyss is located down on earth, and again, the Abyss seems to be located downwards, beneath the surface of the earth, inside the earth, as âthe beastâ is said to âascendâ out of the Abyss. And so the Abyss is a place where a fallen angel can be imprisoned in chains, down inside the earth.There are a few other verses in the New Testament which seem to reference to a place matching this functional description.ere both the Abyss and âpeople of old timeâ are mentioned, and the Abyss is again described to be in the low parts of the earth. There is some hint here that âplaces desolate of oldâ might now be located inside the earth in ruin.
