THE DEVIL BOUND FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

 

And I Saw an Angel

Coming down Out of Heaven,

Having the Key to the Abyss

And Holding in his Hand

A GREAT CHAIN.

2 HE SEIZED THE DRAGON

THAT ANCIENT SERPENT,

WHO IS THE DEVIL, OR SATAN,

AND BOUND HIM

FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

3 HE THREW HIM INTO THE ABYSS,

AND LOCKED AND SEALED IT OVER HIM,

TO KEEP HIM

FROM DECEIVING THE NATIONS

ANYMORE

UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS

WERE ENDED.

AFTER THAT,

HE MUST BE SET FREE

FOR A SHORT TIME.

(Revelation 20:1-3, NIV)
