1 | Why not allow that to begin with? | Rev 20:7 | runningfaith | 46093 | ||
Thank you for your input to my last question, Why will Satan be loosed. I know what he will do when he is loosed. But, my question is WHY? After the angel has already bound him. The earth is free of him. What is the purpose of letting him loose in the earth again? Is it because in the MIL.. there will still be the sin nature in man and many will choose to reject Jesus even then? WOW. That seems so far from what my mind can understand. How could someone seeing all that has taken place in the earth by this time, still turn away? It must be out of that group of people that Satan will build his army and rebell one last time? I 'm just trying to understand why he is bound at all only to be let loose again. Thanks for your patience with me on this. I'm really trying to get a answer and I know God has one for me. I'm seeking, so I know I will be given revelation. All imput is greatly appreciated. runningfaith. |

2 | Why not allow that to begin with? | Rev 20:7 | Morant61 | 46094 | ||
Greetings Runningfaith! I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your question since Scripture never addresses it. However, if I were to make a reasoned guess, I would say that Satan is loosed to allow those born during the millenial reign of Christ to have the opportunity to accept or reject Him - or to put their 'faith' to the test. The Bible Knowledge Commentary says of this verse: ************************* "John was told what would happen at the conclusion of the thousand years. Satan will be released from the Abyss, his prison, and will make a final attempt to induce nations—called Gog and Magog—to come and battle with him against Christ. Satan’s release will produce a worldwide rebellion against the millennial reign of Christ. The armies will be so vast in numbers that they are said to be like the sand on the seashore. Who are these who will follow Satan? Those who survive the Tribulation will enter the Millennium in their natural bodies, and they will bear children and repopulate the earth (Isa. 65:18-25). Under ideal circumstances in which all know about Jesus Christ (cf. Jer. 31:33-34), many will outwardly profess faith in Christ without actually placing faith in Him for salvation. The shallowness of their professions will become apparent when Satan is released. The multitudes who follow Satan are evidently those who have never been born again in the millennial kingdom." ************************* You asked how anyone could reject Christ after seeing all that will have taken place on the earth during that time. But, we have historical evidence of just this exact situation. The nation of Israel rejected God after all that He did during the exodus. The nation of Israel rejected God after seeing the ministry of Jesus in person. There is no end to man's ability to delude himself if he wants to continue in sin and reject the light.

3 | Is there evil durning the MR? | Rev 20:7 | runningfaith | 46351 | ||
Is it correct when I say there will be no evil or sin in the earth durning the MR.? Is it simple out of the "nature" of man that , man will reject Christ? If there is going to be peace durning this time, where does the evil rise up from? When Satan is removed once and for all, there will be a world without evil, or sin, and rebellion will never rise it's head again. Is this correct? Thanks for being patient with me. God bless! Runningbear. |

4 | Is there evil durning the MR? | Rev 20:7 | Makarios | 46364 | ||
Greetings Runningbear! What do you mean by the "'MR'?" Is this a reference to the Millennial Kingdom? I believe that Isaiah 65:25 helps us to answer the question about evil during the Millennial Reign of Christ. Blessings to you, Makarios |
