Bible Question:
I sent a question before, but had to register again. The former may have been lost. So here is the question again. After the battle of AG, Satan will be chained and bound for 1000 years. Revelation Chapters 18-20 covers this. In Chapter 20 we're told he will be released after the 1000 years . The question is why? To deceive the nations? He has and will cont..doing that. Why is he going to be let out again before the final casting out? Thanks much for imput. |
Bible Answer: He is released after the thousand year rein of christ, to gather his army to fight against God and his Holy city. The Devil and his army will be consumed by the wrath of God, "They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them." He undoubtly will try to deceive all nations, but after God has ruled the earth on earth for a thousand years. I think this will be like salt in a wound for Satin and his kind. Why? Who and how many could be decieved if you know the truth from God in the flesh. This knowledge will be from seeing and believing , like the deciple Thomas. I don't think Satin will decive many he will only fustrate himself against an all powerful God who's word was made flesh and will never go away. It is of no concern for believers. God will not allow you to be tested beyond what he prescribes for you. He has a plan and is sticking to it. |
