Bible Question:
Why will the Devil be released after the Millenium? Why didn't God banish Satan to the Lake of Fire when he was first cast out of Heaven? What will happen to our pets when we're raptured? |
Bible Answer: LIVERIGHT, In my understanding, scripture doesn't explicitly tell us why satan is released in Revelation 20:7. However, we can be thankful that his triumph is short-lived! As to your reference to isaiah 14:12,God allowed satan to be "the god of this world" to serve His purpose. There is some explanation in verses 13-23. I believe it to be for His glory ultimately. Eccl.3:21 tells in regards to animals, "Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
