Satan Will Be Bound For A Thousand Years.
According to
Revelation 20:1,3; Satan will be bound throughout the duration of the
Millennium (a thousand years). At th
e
conception of the millennial reign of Christ on earth, an angel from heaven will
have the authority and ability to cast Satan and presumably all demons into the
Abyss (vs. 1,2).
Jesus Christ will rule His kingdom on earth without the deceptive
influence of Satan. People on earth, however, who are born during the
millennial will have their sinful nature that can only be remedied by the new
birth. Throughout the millennial reign of Christ, multitudes will be born
again by the grace of God. However, there will be those who refuse to
submit to Christ and His rule. Even though Satan is not present during the
millennial, sinners will rebel against Christ. Ultimately, it is not
the enemy (Satan) that causes mans rebellion... it is our enmity against
God (Romans
8:7). It is for this reason that Christ will rule with a "rod of iron"
during the millennial. At the conclusion of the thousand year reign of
Christ, Satan will be let loosed from the Abyss for a brief period of time to
gather those who would not submit to Christ from the four corners of the earth
to war against Christ. Their effort to dethrone Christ will be met with
swift destruction (Revelation
20:7,9).
What is so revealing about this subject?
It should be noted that Satan is not all powerful. He
possess no raw material. He can only take that which God created and
pervert it. As Believers, we should always acknowledge the biblical
account that
Satan is a fraud and a master
counterfeiter with his false bibles,
false professions, false prophets, false
doctrines, false teachers and false
miracles. He is defeated and
defanged. Praise The Lord!
