2 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | casiv | 20741 | ||
Hello CDBJ, I believe when Jesus defeated the devil on the cross is when he became locked up. Nowhere after the cross is he allowed to go to and fro. I believe he now is in heaven accusing(Rev 12:10) all the children. Then he will be kicked out of heaven with his angels(Rev 12:9) and come to make war with the remnant(Rev 12:17) and will overcome them (Rev11:7)and they will rise after three days and then come back and put satan in the pit(see Isa 14:14-16, when many will look upon him during the true millenium) for a thousand years(Rev 20:1-3). At the end of the 1000 years he will be released again(Rev 20:7) for one final assault on mankind whose numbers are as the sand of the sea. So to answer your question, satan was locked up when he was defeated by Jesus on the cross. And he will again be locked up in the millenium. So that would be he is locked up now and will be again in the future. Thanks for your question. Peace, Casiv |

The book of I Peter was written in approximately AD 63: if what you said is true, why did Peter bother to right chapter 5:8,9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. I John 4:4 speaks of (he), a ref. to satan being in the World. (Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Now since the devil isn't omnipresent, i.e. he can't be in more then one place at a time, he must be going back and forth from Earth to Heaven, otherwise Paul wouldn't have penned Ephesians 6:10-17, It wouldn't be necessary if our adversary were incarcerated. The fact that the devil is thrown out of Heaven, Rev. 12:7 doesn't mean that he was imprisoned there. What kind of a war would that be? The devil doesn't have omniscience like God so he has to come to Earth to see what the believers are doing in order to accuse them before God, Rev. 12:10. The fact that he is cast down only mean that he is no longer permitted to come to Heaven any longer to wage war with the brethren. He knows that when this happens that his last days of deception are coming to a halt; The only place that he can torment believers after the war in Heaven, will be on the Earth, and he knows that there are only three and one half years left to do his evil work. As a result he comes down to Earth having great wrath for the elect of God. Jesus mentioned this in Matt. 24:21-22; Paul tells of the same thing in II Thess. 2:3-6 There is no indication that the devil is restricted in any way at this time as far as confinement or being locked up. |

Support...................................... Greetings CDBJ! Excellent points! I agree that Rev. 12 seems to refer to a time, during or right before Daniel's 70th week, when Satan will be cast down. But, he won't be imprisoned until the 1000 year reign. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I think that the time spoken of in Rev.12 is the point in time that Christ describes in Matt.24:15, which is the mid point of Jacob's trouble. Paul calls it out in II Thess. 2:3,4. Jews and Christians alike will suffer at this time. If Satan can't get at the Jews, he will come after the believers in Jesus. Rev. 12:13-17 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male (child.) But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. I would like to emphasize that this (IS NOT) the wrath of God but Satan, who was cast down to the Earth. These will be the days of his vengeance against God and all that He stands for. Satan will demand the worship of the inhabitants of the Earth and the (true) believers, the wheat, won't give in. It will be the time just before the harvest. In my opinion, this is how God will separate the wheat from the tares. The pressure will be immense to say the least, so great that, if it were possible, even the elect could be deceived. But with the Lord's help and Bible doctrine we will overcome because we are not in darkness, we are expecting it! Paul said that remember that when I was with you, I told you these things. I hope that I haven't messed up everyone's way of thinking, but that's how I see it. |
