No…
Rev 20.10 refers to Judgment Day for the unrighteous (i.e. the Second Resurrection/Second Death)….so, obviously, this has not occurred yet.
Just as names have numerous epithets in Revelation – so do time periods.
The 1260 days….42 months…times, time and ½ time…and 1,000 years, all refer to the same stretch of time…and that is the period of time that Satan is being bound.
We are in that period of time right now.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience(Ephesians 2:2).
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour(1 Peter 5:8).
The devil is not bound right now,but is the prince of the power of the air.The devil was kicked out of where God dwells,which is referred to as the 3rd heaven,although God is above that because the heaven of heavens cannot contain God.
The devil is not bound right now and will appear as the beast,man of sin,to deceive all people who do not love God.God will give the world 7 years to have their way and cause all people that do not love God to follow the beast kingdom and take the mark.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places(Ephesians 6:11-12).
When you see the world operating the way it does it is obvious that the devil is not bound yet.
The 6 trumpets are 6 disasters that the world knows about but they keep trying to solve their problems and not turn to God.After the 6th trumpet God said they still will not repent of their sins and they will not turn to God so God gives them the man of sin to rule over them.
Some people think that the war in Revelation chapter 12 already occurred with God kicking Lucifer out of heaven,but this is not true.The sky above us is considered heaven,and Satan is the prince of the power of the air,so when it talks of war in heaven and the dragon and his angels are cast to earth it is not talking of the 3rd heaven where God is referred to dwell.
After the 6th trumpet the world will still not turn to God so God gives them the man of sin to rule over them,and war will break out in heaven against Michael and his angels and the dragon and his angels.The dragon and his angels lose and are cast to earth,in which the devil is mad for he knows he has a short time and goes forth to deceive all people that do not love God.
Satan is no longer the prince of the power of the air,but all the devils are confined to this earth,which the Bible says the earth has become the habitation of devils,and the hold of every foul spirit,and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Satan will appear as the beast,man of sin,to deceive all people that do not love God,which the Bible says the man of sin will be mighty but not by his own power,and the ones the devil cannot get to take the mark and be lost spiritually,he will destroy physically,which the Bible says,by peace he shall destroy many,and he shall destroy and prosper mightily,and he shall destroy the mighty and holy people.
He will take the world to go against Jerusalem,which will be the man of sin's last stop to rid the world of all who do not go along with his agenda,which he does not honor any God,and the Jews now recognize Jesus as their savior,in which Jesus defeats the beast and his army,and Satan is bound for 1000 years during the millennial reign of Christ,in which Jesus and the saints will rule over one sixth of the world's army that fought against Israel,and then at the end of the millennial reign Satan is loosed and deceives the people that Jesus and the saints rule over,and they attack them,which God sends fire on them,and Satan is punished.It is all over for Satan and when the saints get to the New Jerusalem rebellion will never come up again,for it will be a place where sin has never been and sin will never be.
