THe Binding Of Satan

 I choose to start this by saying with the study and research of certain scriptures this is what I would like to share and hope it will be of some help to some people.

Satan still has access to the heavens, but has no authority. He is like a great lion roaming to and fro seeking people he may devour. Many are not aware of this.

There is coming eventually a great war in heaven where Michael the archangel will cast Satan and his demons down to the earth and confine them down to the earth. Even though Satan and his demons still have some access to and fro from heaven to earth to try and win souls for his kingdom.

Revelations 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before God day and night.

So Satan has access to the presence of God to accuse the believer to say look at that person who claims to be a Christian, you've got to be kidding me. He brings accusations after accusations. Finally God will say, enough of all of this.

Revelation 12:11 And they over came him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony. (12:12) Rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them, Woe to the inhabititers of the earth...for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time left.

He is not cast down to eternity past yet. He is cast down for centuries and centuries. He functions on earth, when he came before God in Job, God said, Oh where have you come form and Satan said, down on the earth roaming to and fro, he said you know where I came from etc...but he still by permission of God the prince of the power of air, but there is coming a time when he is cast out to the earth for 7 years according to verse 13 in Revelation 12.

The personality of Satan is the dragon-enemy of God, serpent-deceiver. devil- slanderer, satan-adversary. He is the sdversary of the believer, the one who slanders the believers and accuses them, the one who would decieve the whole world. The war in heaven excludes Satan's restrictions in heaven. and his restriction to the earth during the tribulation time for 3 1/2 years. Satan is not yet confined to earth. And yet another 31/2 year total fo 7 years all together.

Be sober, be vigliant, because your asversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he my devour.( 1 Peter 5:8)

Knowing his time is short again ( not long) the dragon when he saw he was cast to earth persecuted the woman that brought forth the male child.

The symbolism of the book of Revelation, the woman is the symbol of Israel that brings Christ, the messiah, who decends from the lion, and Abraham and David.

The women fled into the wilderness and times and times 31/2 times the dragon was angry with the woman and went to make war with the remnent of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. During the time of the great tribulation Satan will be confined to the earth and will persecute the Jewish people and others who have come to faith in Christ the Messiah. He will turn against the seed of the woman, yet his time on earth will be short, it will be brief because trouble is on the horizon for Satan.

Revelation describes the future of Satan. The scriptures tells us that yes he's under judgment of God but he will still roam about like a roaring lion. There is still and element of freedom to his ability to persecute and accuse a people even on planet earth today. He's still the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air. Ultimutly Revelation says there will become a time when he will be cast out of heaven permenetly cast down to the earth. In that short period of time in the 31/2 years which will seem like peace but the last 31/2 years he will turn and everything will become worse that ever before.he will persecute the people of God on the earth during the times of the tribulation period. Then the book of Revelation goes futher and describes the judgment of the tribulation period. The defeat of the anti-christ. The return of Jesus Christ.

Victory in the battle of Armageddon. Revelation 20 Satan is now confined in the abyss in the bottomless pit.

Jesus returned in Chapter 19, won the battle, the beast and the false prophet are cast into the lake of fire and then the Bible says in Revelation 20:1-3  And now I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand, and he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no MORE, till the thousand years be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.

THe Return Of The King

The victory of Jesus comes when He returns to earth to reign with the raptured church to reign and rule on the earth. Satan will be bound during that time. During this time there will be no war and Jesus will be reigning in peace and prosperity during the millenium.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT  WILL BE LIKE !!!! OUR DAYS WITH CHRIST WILL FINALLY COME !!!
