Satan Bound 1,000 Years

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ahaving the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  
2 He laid hold of athe dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;  
3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and aset a seal on him, bso that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.  

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

4 And I saw athrones, and they sat on them, and bjudgment was committed to them. Then I saw cthe souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, dwho had not worshiped the beast eor his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they flived and greigned with Christ for a thousand years.  
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such athe second death has no power, but they shall be bpriests of God and of Christ, cand shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Revelation 20:3

Revelation 20:2 He laid hold on the dragon . . . and bound him for a thousand years. The chain (Revelation 20:1) I suppose to be the Word of God. At this period of the triumph of righteousness the gospel takes such hold of the hearts of men that Satan loses his powers over them. We can easily see how this is accomplished by what takes place under our own eyes. A man may be drunken and lawless, but if he repents under the influence of the gospel he ceases to serve Satan. The devil loses his power over that man. When that period shall come for which the saints in all ages have wistfully looked, when the laws of God shall be written upon every heart, then Satan, bound with a chain, the chain of truth, shall be deprived of influence on the earth.
