Bible Question:
You said ... "There is a sense in which all of these days are evil days. Satan is going about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is free to do that now because this is his “day”." ... where does the Bible say he is free? ... where does the Bible say this is his day? |
Bible Answer: I used simple logic to assume that since he is walking about then he is free at least to walk about. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. I contrast that to Revelation 20:1 where John saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. Again I come to the same conclusion. He will be bound then. He is free now. I hope this answers two questions in one. I take it that the fact he is free and that this is his day (to go about doing his thing) are the same thing. |
