The Loosing of the Dragon
- Satan will be loosed after the 1000 year reign: They teach that after 1000 years, Satan will be loosed for a season.
Since Satan cannot be bound with literal chains, there is no need for him to be loosed, literally. As we see these lies go on and on, and on. Where will they stop. If you noticed he was bound 1000 years after the Apostolic ministry bound him with the gospel. (The Key and Chain) Satan was not to deceived the nations “no more” until the 1000 years were finished. Noticed it said no more, till the 1000 years were fulfilled, that is completed. You see he had already deceived the world when he was first introduce, fighting the Woman clothed with the Sun, but the early morning ministry stopped the Dragon in its tracks. Now Rev. 20:3 says that after the 1000 years, he shall be loosed for a little season.
First of all 1000 years, is not literally a 1000 years, but a number denoting a long period of time, just like the 144000 on Mount Zion is not a literal number, for John said “He saw a number no man could number”. Rev. 14th chapter. The bible says.
8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
In Revelation 20:4 please notice two things here. During the 1000 years reign you can see the church here on earth and the martyrs of Jesus in Paradise, the church was seen as those sitting on thrones and judgment was given unto them. The fact that they were sitting on throne tell me that they were reigning, that is God had a people who were yet standing despite the Abomination of Desolation. Judgment was given unto them. They yet had God’s word and precepts. Also during this long period of time, we also see the martyrs of Jesus, reigning, They are described as the “souls” that were beheaded (put to death) for the witness of Jesus, and the word of God, and which not worshipped the beast (Roman Catholicism), His Image (Protestantism), nor received the mark of the best in their forehead, that is the False teaching of Roman Catholicism. It was very costly to be a Christian at this time. It is said by the inquisition that Roman Catholicism has killed 40 – 50 millions saints, for standing for truth. The others during this period time called the “Dark Ages” hide in the mountain and caves of the earth and was not allowed to worship God openly and freely unless it was done the Papal way.
In Revelation 20:5, the bible says that the rest of the dead lived not again until the 1000 years were finished. One may say what does this mean? The rest of the dead were those un-regenerated souls that needed the bible, God’s word to give them life. But Rome took the bible from the people. The unadulterated gospel could not be preached openly until the thousand years, or this long period of time of dark papal night was finished, the interpretation is right before our eyes. I t says “This is the first resurrection.” When Salvation is not preached man cannot experience the first resurrection, that is the deliverance from the power of sin and spiritual death, for the wages of sin is death. John 5:24-29, explains the different between the first and second resurrection.
I must note that the gospel was not preached until after the 1000 years of dark Papal night, when a young monk by the name of Marin Luther began to preach the first resurrection message to save men from their sins; this message was “The Just shall live by Faith”
In Revelation 20:6, there is a promise given to the saint during this dark time for the people of God.
6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
If you would notice please, the dragon is bound; his pagan influence that he has exercised during his reign in Pagan Rome is not address here. It is the Beast; the one that followed the Dragon, This Beast was Papal Rome, who persecuted the saints unto death, and shortly thereafter, Martin Luther took his stand against Rome, his followers caused 100,000 souls to be put to death, If they did not accept there way, if was not under the direction of Martin Luther, but none the less about 100,000 souls died in the revolt of the Peasants. These radicals instantly made an Image to the Beast, they were no better than the thing they were fleeing from. If you did not fellowship or agree with them they put you to death. Even though there was Dragon influence in the Apostate Church (Roman Catholicism), In reality the Dragon was limited compared to that Leopard like Papal Beast, for under the Pagan Religion System, The Dragon allowed many ways of worship, but under the Papal Beast System, there was only one way of worship, that is, “Be a Catholic or die”.
