Bible Question:
Brad, Thanks, very helpful. One more question related to the topic, Why is Satan let loose at the end of the Millinium? Why allow him to mount yet another attack on the earth, humans, God??? |
Bible Answer: Hi Zach, Interestingly, "The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook" says this: "People have asked the question why Satan will be loosed from his prison after the 1,000 years. This action is in keeping with God’s purpose to demonstrate in history that man left to his own devices will, nevertheless, sin against God. Even though the Millennium provided a perfect environment for humanity with abundant revelation of God’s power, the evil heart of man is manifest in the fact that people reject Christ and follow Satan when he is loosed. The loosing of Satan also is a demonstration of the wickedness of Satan and the fallen angels and how even 1,000 years in confinement does not change this." [Walvoord, John F. The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook.] I trust this answer will be helpful as well. BradK |
