Question about Revelations

[dchena]

I haven't done much looking yet, thought I'd ask here while I get to it.

In the poll about believing whether or not we are in the end times, it was mentioned about Satan being let loose....

When did that happen, or when will that happen, or what's that all about?
Can someone point me to the right place in the Bible to read about it for myself - but please don't say 'read all of Revelations'!
Where is that talked about specifically?

Is this what you are referring to?

Rev 20:1-6
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. 4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

Well done 'oboy'.

Reading the O.P. I was searching my mind for the scripture, where that 'old serpent. the devil, and satan was bound for a thousand years.......then loosed for a season......before being finally cast into the lake of fire.


Indeed fact is more exciting than fiction.

I am so glad that I belong to Jesus
