What are others views of what the "abyss" in the NT. It is only mentioned 9 times that I can see and is only mentioned in Luke of the Gospels and Romans of the Epistles. Thanks.

Luke 8:31 And they are *entreating Him that no He should be enjoining to them into the abyss/abusson <12> to be coming away.

Romans 10:7 Or any should be descending into the abyss/abusson <12> this is Christ out of dead-ones to be up-leading.

Textus Rec.) Romans 10:7 h tiV katabhsetai eiV thn abusson tout estin criston ek nekrwn anagagein

First time out of 7 times used in Revelation:

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth Messenger trumpets and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen into the land and was given to him the key of the well of the abyss/abussou <12>

TexRec) Revelation 9:1 kai o pemptoV aggeloV esalpisen kai eidon astera ek tou ouranou peptwkota eiV thn ghn kai edoqh autw h kleiV tou freatoV thV abussou

12. abussos ab'-us-sos from 1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of 1037; depthless, i.e. (specially) (infernal) "abyss":--deep, (bottomless) pit.

The word "well" is used 7 times in the NT, Luke, John and 4 times in Revelation, all in Chapt 9:1,2.

John 4:11 Is saying to Him, the woman "Lord! not a bucket Thou are having and the well/frear <5421> is deep/baqu <901>, whence then Thou are having the water, the living?

Textus Rec.) John 4:11 legei autw h gunh kurie oute antlhma eceiV kai to frear estin baqu poqen oun eceiV to udwr to zwn

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth Messager trumpets and I saw a Star out of the heaven having fallen into the land, nd was given to him the key of the well/freatoV <5421> of the Abyss/abussou <12>,

5421. phrear freh'-ar of uncertain derivation; a hole in the ground (dug for obtaining or holding water or other purposes), i.e. a cistern or well; figuratively, an abyss (as a prison):--well, pit. [Shown 7 times, 4 times in Revelation Chapt 9]
