back to the question...

I believe that Satan was bound for a 1000 years, when the church stood firm and united against all heresy and he is now loose and deceiving the nations.

what marks the release of Satan? does anyone know?

2 Thessalonians 2:6-8
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He[a] who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Revelations 20

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.


why do people think 2 thessalonians talk about the false prophet or the beast and not Satan himself?

When did the church ever stand "firm and united against all heresy" for 1000 years?

The thousand years in Rev 20 has not started yet. Nothing in Revelation has started yet, it is all still future. Satan is loose now, look at the state of the world. He will be bound at the start of the future 1000 year kingdom and released towards the end of it.

Satan's release at the end of the thousand years will be marked by his putting together a vast army for one last attack on Christ. Resurrected believers (Christian and OT) will not be deceived by him.

Shroom2,

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

How long did Adam live?

This 1,000 yrs. is symbolic for our life in Adam,
That Satan has had a part of, and still does in some.

TRUTH IS WHAT BINDS SATAN, THIS IS THE SEAL
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.


The Reigning of Christ Which is Truth is Happening NOW,
He is Reigning over the old nature, He is putting it under His feet.

It is The Revelation of Jesus Christ
it is NOT Future, not like you think.

You're seeing things that aren't there. The 1000 years are not "symbolic for our life in Adam".

2 Pet 3:8 does not say a thousand years IS a day or a day IS 1000 years. Note the word "as". God reckons time differently than we do, that's all it's saying.

The events in Revelation are future, and will happen.

so lets us change "shortly take place" to maybe in a few more thousand years. ....



Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place


sorry not buying it. what happens after the 1000 years that is not happening now?

You don't see Satan gathering his vast army?

so who is being restrained? who will be revealed in these verses?

2 Thessalonians 2:6-8
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He[a] who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

why do you think it is the false prophet or the beast and not Satan himself?

No last week you accused me of lying.

Jesus did not put these verses in the bible for nothing

Proverbs 27:5 Open REBUKE [is] better than secret love.

Luke 17:3Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, REBUKE him; and if he repent, forgive him

1 Timothy 5:20Them that sin REBUKE before all, that others also may fear.

Titus 1:13This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

You want to rule and reign with him we go to use the whole Bible.

For someone who is bound apparently for a 1000 years now, he sour is busy, just as busy as he was before he was bound.

There he is, shortly to be under your feet

Romans 16:20And the God of peace shall bruise SATAN under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

There he is again filled thine heart to lie

Acts 5:3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath SATAN filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?

There he is again transforming him self

2 Corinthians 2:11Lest SATAN should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

There he is again busy doing his work

2 Corinthians 11:14And no marvel; for SATAN himself is transformed into an angel of light.

There he is again attacking Paul

2 Corinthians 12:7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of SATAN to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

There he is again hindered us.

1 Thessalonians 2:18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but SATAN hindered us.

And one more time There he is again peter telling you to be careful of him.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

So you are publicly denying on Christian chat.com that you are Zone and you are not in the same house?

I wonder if Christian chat.com can shed some light on this?

As for repenting, until I know I am wrong, it’s not going to happen.
