First of, I don't know where the bottomless pit is.
However, I'm curious as to your belief regarding the bottomless pit being on earth.

I just believe what John wrote.
Rev. 9:1-3
1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto
the earth: and to him was given the key of
the bottomless pit. 2And he opened
the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke
out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon
the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
The bottomless pit or "abyss" appears to be somewhere in the earth. Agreed?

Like, how does that work? if there is a bottomless pit on earth, doesn't that mean there's a big hole on the earth extending from one continent to another continent?
I'm genuinely curious as to how you see the bottomless pit being a literal pit on earth.

Well first off I simply take it by faith. Jesus our Creator knows a lot more about his earth than men do right? Who are we to say there is not a literal place in the earth where some kind of beings who have a king over them are?
Rev. 9:11
11And they had
a king over them, which is
the angel of
the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Thats how it works! I read what John wrote and believe it. Why would I not believe it? Can I explain it?
Perhaps not but neither can I explain how there is a place up in the sky called Heaven. I cant look up and see a cosmic city with a throne and God and angels.
Why do I then believe in it?
Because it is written.
Maybe....just
maybe it may have something to do with the "hollow earth" theory? Perhaps theres some truth to it.
Just a speculation on my part of course.
