Victory over Satan*
Satan is chained for a thousand
Years. From Chapter 12 to this
Point three enemies are allied
In opposition to Christ and people.
The two beasts and the false prophet
Were overcome by the Victorious
Christ. Satan also must be dealt with.
The saints were robbed, exiled or slain.
Here John sets forth ultimate victory
And triumph of the cause of Christ.
Satan is bound for a thousand years,
An indefinite time, not literal.
The devil was cast into the bottomless
Pit for a thousand years, and afterward he
Was loosed for a short time and goes
Back to his old tactics deceiving nations.
Fire came down out of heaven and
Destroyed them. The devil was cast
Into the lake of fire where the beast
And false prophet had been cast.
The thousand years is a complete number.
It represents not a period of years before,
Or after the second coming of Christ
The saints are completely victorious.
