THE BINDING AND LOOSING OF SATAN

“And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more
till the thousand years should be fulfilled;
and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
— Rev. 20:2-3.

 The careful consideration of this scripture gives rise to several important questions. These questions are: first, Why was Satan, the great deceiver and enslaver of mankind, ever permitted to have any power? Secondly, Why, when, and how, is he to be bound, cast into the pit, shut up and sealed? and finally, For what conceivable purpose is he to be loosed again prior to his destruction? Or why is he not destroyed at the beginning of the thousand years, instead of being bound and then loosed again for a season?

We know and for sure that Christ Jesus is the rightful King in the blessed Kingdom of God here on earth for the Reign of 1,000 years (Rev. 20:6; 5:9-10). This kingdom or government the Master told us to pray for thus (Mat. 6:9-10) — “After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Thus a Kingdom or government on earth as also was spoken of through Daniel 2:44-45, and prophesied by other prophets of God as in Zechariah 9:9-10,  “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King comes unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. …...... and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the EARTH.”

We here simply call attention again to the fact, that while Satan, in the exercise of his own free will, has been for the past six thousand years endeavoring to accomplish his own designs as a rival of the Almighty, he has really unwittingly been serving a great purpose in the accomplishment of God’s plan. God is able to, and does, make even the wrath of both men and devils to praise him — in the manifestation of his superior power, wisdom and skill in so overruling their evil deeds as to actually accomplish his own purposes, while they suppose they are thwarting God’s plans and accomplishing their own. Under the long dominion of Satan’s power, the world has been receiving its necessary experience and discipline, and the members of both the earthly and the heavenly phases of God’s kingdom have been tried, developed and proved worthy of their future high exaltation. During all this time evil has held high carnival, and evil doers — Satan and his followers — have been intoxicated with this seemingly lasting triumph. Nor do they even now, when the hour of their fall is so near, presume that their triumph is so shortly to end in ignominious defeat.

The time for the binding of Satan is fixed at the close of the Gospel age, prior to the thousand years’ reign of Christ, and is to be accomplished by the “Messenger of the Covenant whom ye delight in,” and who “has the keys of death and hades” — our Lord Jesus, at his second advent: — “And I saw an angel [messenger — “the Messenger of the Covenant,” Christ Jesus] come down from heaven [his second advent], having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:1,2; 1:18; Malachi 3:1.) The object of his binding evidently is that the world may be released from his bondage and brought under the favorable conditions of the reign of Christ, with nothing to oppose, hinder or obstruct their progress toward full restitution to the divine favor and blessings.

According to the above scripture (Rev. 20:1,2) the binding of Satan could not begin until the Angel had come down — until 1874. Mark the binding process since that time. The power of Satan is the power of darkness, of ignorance and superstition. (Luke 22:53; Col. 1:13.) As the light of truth advances, the power that can only work in darkness is to that extent curtailed. Hence it is that truth, on every subject, but especially divine truth, has always met with opposition from the deceived and unwitting agents of the great adversary. Truth, therefore, is the great agency which is eventually to accomplish the complete binding of Satan. To some extent truth has for many centuries obstructed the course of error, of Satan’s influence in the world — truths both of nature and religion — but they never bound Satan and rendered him powerless. If they obstructed his course in one direction, he either battered them down with persecution of one sort or another, or, failing in this, branched out and flourished in another direction. But the truth which is to accomplish the binding of Satan is described by the Revelator as “a great chain” in the hand of earth’s new and rightful King. Not only the truths directly relating to the plan of God constitute this chain, but to these are linked every feature of truth related to human rights and privileges. Soon this mighty chain will so thoroughly compass the devil’s dominion and influence, and the Lord’s great army will draw it so tightly, that the great enemy will lie prostrate in the dust. And the Lord will cast him and all his wicked deceptions into the pit of oblivion, sealed for a thousand years; — his power to deceive and enslave men being completely stopped by the clear knowledge then prevailing. This will be accomplished both by the lessons men will learn in the terrible trouble incident to the final overthrow of Satan’s power, and by the great calm and refreshment of the reign of Christ which will follow. They will be completely disgusted with Satan’s ruling and his deceptions, and glad to submit to the reign of Christ. (Isaiah 2:3.) This public and world-wide realization of the causes of their degradation, and the great and sudden revolution of public sentiment in favor of the Lord’s ways and rulings, will constitute the seal which will hold the great adversary in the pit of oblivion for the thousand years.

But here arises our third question, Why is he not destroyed at this juncture, instead of imprisoned? Surely there can be no hope of his recovery to righteousness and submission to God: he has been a defiant rebel for at least six thousand years, and if not bound would still continue his nefarious schemes, which he will do as soon as he is loosed again; and moreover, his destruction at the end of the thousand years is clearly foretold. (See Heb. 2:14; Rev. 20:9,10,14.) The only conclusion, therefore, which we are left to draw is that God has a still further purpose to be served in his continued existence and in his loosing again at the end of the Millennial age (1,000 years of Christ’s reign).

What, then, is that purpose? is the important question. Let us reflect upon the principles of God’s dealings and the answer will be manifest. We have seen that His plan has always been to respect man’s free agency. Man, apart from the defilement of sin, is a noble creature — created in the image of God. Therefore, he is not a mere machine, but is possessed of a free will and intelligence. In dealing with man individually, God, therefore, respects his endowment and acts accordingly. And He always gives him knowledge before counting him responsible for the use of his will, the degree of responsibility being proportioned to the degree of enlightenment and ability to perform what he wills. Thus it has been in the cases of Adam, of the Lord Jesus as a man, of the patriarchs and prophets, and of the Gospel church — the only ones who have been on trial as individuals. All of these were first enlightened and then tested to prove the loyalty or disloyalty of their wills toward God.

This established principle of God’s dealings we must therefore expect to see carried out in the Millennial age, when the masses of the world will be on trial. And this line of policy we do see, from the descriptions God has given us, will be carried out. If Satan is bound in the beginning of the age so that he cannot deceive and mislead men, and the Kingdom of God is set up in power and great glory, and the knowledge of the Lord is caused to fill the earth as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11:1-9), and if "the iron rod" forces all to at least an outward obedience, and justice is laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet, (Psalm 2:6-9) we can readily see that all the circumstances will be most favorable for man’s speedy advancement in the paths of righteousness.

When Satan is bound fully, there will be no more great counterfeit systems of Christianity, no counterfeit of God’s Kingdom, no plausible and misleading presentations of error for truth, no rewarding of iniquity and persecution of righteousness, no snares and pitfalls of vice to allure the weak and wayward, no liquor saloons or other evils now licensed by law. The iron rule of justice will not bend with the slightest degree of favor toward any evil, however loudly the cravings of fallen, weak humanity may clamor for them. The way of righteousness and life will be made plain both to the understanding and to the ability of even the humblest; and all will be helped by wholesome restraints, seasonable encouragements, and the speedy rewards of righteousness at every step of the way, due allowance for their weaknesses being made until, under the wonderful educational influences and assistance of that golden age of blessing and opportunity, they may all reach actual perfection — moral, mental and physical.

When the whole world has been thus enlightened, trained and disciplined for a thousand years, all will have had full opportunity to reach actual perfection, and therefore actual perfection will be required of them. At the end of the thousand years, Christ is to deliver up his finished work to the Father. (1 Cor. 15:24,25.) And when his work is finished, it must be complete and perfect, lacking nothing. Otherwise, it would not be acceptable to God.

So, in the end of the thousand years, when Christ has completed his work of reconstruction — restitution — the final test must be applied to prove the worthiness or unworthiness of each individual of the race to continued existence throughout the ages of glory to follow. And for this purpose, the final testing and proving of all, is the loosing of Satan out of his prison for a little season.

How may it be accomplished? We answer, By relaxing the rigor of the hitherto iron rule which made obedience to divine law obligatory by prompt punishment of any deviation from it and prompt rewarding of every obedience to it. Here would be Satan’s opportunity to again deceive any who desire to carry out plans in opposition to God’s will or the principles of strict justice, into the idea that they could now do so with impunity, and that neither the penalties nor rewards of divine law are certain. Under such a delusion, those who at heart are not loyal to God, and who thus far have been controlled principally by the force and rigor of law, will manifest their real disposition; and, likewise, those who have learned to love God’s law and who delight in it, and who would not deviate from it to the slightest degree, even if there were no penalties attached to it — these will also be manifested. And these only, be they many or few, are those whom God by his law marks as worthy of continued life. Others, by preferring their own wills, shall thus prove their unworthiness of life and together with Satan must be cut off — destroyed. —  Matt. 25:41-46.

We are not informed as to the number of either class, and it is not our province to speculate, or to be wise above what is written. When some similarly inquired of the Lord, saying, “Lord, are there few that be saved?” he simply answered, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate, for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in and shall not be able, when once the Master has risen up and shut to the door.” This was equivalent to saying, That is not your business, but God’s; see that you make your own calling and election sure (the high calling), before your opportunity is past. We may run faithfully ourselves, and we may generously use all our influence to assist others, but must leave the result with God, who doeth all things well, who will award the favor of life to every truly loyal and obedient soul, and just as surely the wages of sin, which is death, to every other. We know that Satan will endeavor to deceive all — the number of whom is as the sand of the sea — but he will not succeed in deceiving all, and we hope very few. But if we are loyal to God we will most heartily approve the final destruction of all the disloyal — all rebels against his righteous government, be they many or few, after all the privileges and opportunities afforded them in their thousand years of trial.

This work accomplished, the victory of Christ will be complete: He will see the fruit of the travail of his soul and be satisfied when he shall have brought all who desire righteousness and harmony with God to the glory of perfect and established character, in the divine likeness, and when all others, his enemies, are put under his feet — destroyed — (“He must reign until he hath put all enemies under his feet”) and when a spotless universe of free, intelligent, righteous and loyal subjects of divine law, both human and angelic, will be presented to the Father and receive His reward of lasting life. Then follows the “world without end,” with all the blessings and favors that heaven can bestow upon all the loyal sons and heirs of God — as well His sons of the human nature as the angelic sons and the little flock, the body of Christ made sons and heirs of the divine nature.

Observe carefully that the deception or delusion which Satan is permitted to introduce among men who are on their final trial for life will not touch the question of right and wrong; for the knowledge of God — of his righteous law, of the blessings which that law has brought, and the misery which disobedience to it entailed upon the whole race, and the great cost at which they had been redeemed — will then fill the whole earth. The deception, then, must be similar to the deception of Eve in Eden — a deception either as to God’s ability or as to His willingness to execute the already declared penalty of sin against divine law under full light and ability to keep it. And although God has clearly declared His intention to destroy such wicked ones (See Psa. 145:20; Heb. 2:14), yet in their desire to do their own will, regardless of the will of God, some will be deluded into the idea that the penalty will not, or cannot, be enforced against them, just as Eve was deluded. She first desired to disobey God, and that desire prepared her to believe the lie of Satan, that even if she did disobey, the declared penalty would not follow. And since she therefore deserved the penalty, because she regarded iniquity in her heart, God permitted her deception, which, so far from interfering with her free will to act out her real choice, really assisted it. She willed sin, and only fear hindered; and the deception permitted merely removed the fear and left the will free to act. But because she was so young in experience, God planned to redeem her life from destruction and to give her an experience of both the rewards and the penalties of His law, and a second trial for life in which that experience would be of lasting benefit (Heb. 2:9; 1 Cor.15:21-22; Rom. 8:19-22).

But in the end of the Millennial age the world will have had all experience, as well as full knowledge of God’s law and full ability to obey it. And, therefore, there remains no more a sacrifice for sin (Heb. 10:26), and those who then willfully sin against full light and opportunity must die the second death, from which there is no recovery (Rev. 21:8). Some, instead of humbly rejoicing in the favor of life and the vigor of health of mind and body then possessed for several centuries, will probably begin to feel independent of God, through whose favor they received it, and to cultivate a spirit of pride, possibly claiming that their grand attainments are the results of their own efforts and of a process of natural evolution with which the redemption through the precious blood of Christ had nothing to do, and that the life now possessed is of necessity eternal: that God himself either could not or would not destroy it. Even as some now do, they may presume upon the love of God or underrate his justice and acting upon such presumption proceed to carry out their own wills regardless of the counsel of the Lord.

Let the faithful children of God not overlook the fact that Satan has always held out the hope of life to the disobedient. To Eve he said, “Ye shall not surely die”; to those whom he is now leading to the denial of the redemption through the precious blood of Christ, he is diligently preaching universal salvation and spurning the idea of a second death. And the deception in the close of the Millennial age will probably assume the same form. And notice that as in the deception of Eve theirs will not be an interference with their free will, but an aid to the manifestation of their real desires.

 

LUGANDA TRANSLATION in brief.

OKUSIBA N'OKUSUMULULA SITANI

“N’akwata ogusota, omusota ogw’edda, ye Mulyolyomi era Sitani,
n’agusibira emyaka lukumi, n’agusuula mu bunnya obutakoma,
gulemenga okulimba amawanga;
okutuusa emyaka lukumi lwe girigwaako;
oluvannyuma lwagyo kigugwanira okusumululwa ebiro bitono.”
Okubikk. 20:2-3.

 

Okutunulira ebyawandiikibwa bino bireteera ebibuzo bingi; okusooka, Lwaki Sitani ya lekebwa n’obuyinza oba amaanyi? Sitani anasibwatya okumala emyaka olukumi? Era lwaki asumululwa nate oluvanyuma lwe myaka olukumi? Era lwaki tatibwa nga emyaka olukumi gitandiika ?

Tumanyi era tukakasa nti Yesu Kristo ye Kabaka mu Bwakabaka bwa Katonda obunafuga ku nsi okumala emyaka olukumi (Okubikk. 20:6, 5:9-10). Kino Yesu kyeyatutegeeza nti musabe nnyo obufuzi oba Obwakabaka bwa Katonda okujja ku nsi nti — Kitaffe ali mu ggulu, erinya lyo litukuzibwe, Obwakabaka bwo (Gavumentiyo) bujje, byoyagala bikolebwe wano ku nsi, nga bwe bikkolebwa mu ggulu ! So nga nabbi Danyeri yabwogeerako mu Dan. 2:44-45, era n’Abalanzi abalala — Zabbuli 72:8; Zakaliya 9:9-10 “Laba, Kabaka wo ajja gyoli, ….. Anafuganga okuva ku nyanja okutuusa ku nyanja, era n’okuva ku mugga okutuka ku nkomerero y’ensi” !

Tufuba okulaga wano nti Sitani okuva lwayafuuka omulabe wa Katonda, natandiika okumuwakanya era okulwanyiisa efuga ya Katonda ey’obutukirivu era ebbanga erisuka kati mu myaka akakaga, nti efujjo elyo Katonda aliresewo naye si lubereera wabula nti Mukama Katonda asobola okufula obubi bw’abantu ne Sitani  okutukiriza ebigendererwa bye ebirungi ! Kale abantu bakuyiga embeera ne mpeera y’ekibi, olwo bayige (Omubulizi 3:10, Abarrumi 8:19-22). Kale Ekkanisa wamu ne Mukama wayo Yesu wamu ne Banabbi ba Katonda bategekedwa era basomesedwa okusobola okuwebwa ekitibwa n’obulamu obutagwaawo olw’okugezesebwa kwabwe! N’abantu bayize esomo ly’obujemu.

Ekiseera ky’okusiba Sitani era omwebasa mu bunya kiragibwa okuba ku nkomerero y’omulembe guno (ensi eno embi) oba ku tandikwa y’obufuzi bwa Kristo okumala emyaka olukumi. Amusiba yoyo omulangira omukulu owa Katonda era “Omubaka we ndagaano gwe musanyukira ajja ....,” ye Yesu Krristo; Era alina ekisumuluzo kye magombe n’okufa — Ne ndaba Malayika ng’akka okuva mu ggulu, ng’alina ekisumuluzo ky’obunnya obutakoma n’olujegeere olunene mu mukono. (Okubikk. 20:1-3, Malaki 3:1). Ekigendererwa ky’okusiba Sitani be bantu okuzukira era bonna okujja mu bufuzi bwa Kristo okumala emyaka olukiumi, bwebatyo basobole obutabuzibwabuzibwa na bulimba bwa Sitani oba okulemesebwa Sitani n’enjiri ye oy’obulimba, olwo abantu bayambibwe okuyiga obutuukirivu nga tewali abakuba ku mukono (Isaaya 26:9). Okusibwa kwa Sitani kurina kutuka nga Malayika asse okuva mu ggulu nga bwe tulaba ekyo mu mwaka gwa 1874, era amaanyi ga sitani n’obufuzi bwe obwekizikiza (Luka 22:53; Abakkoolosayi. 1:13.) kitegeeza nti enkola yekizikiza, obulimba n’obutamanya bigenda bigwaawo nga mwe muli ne ddembe ly’obuntu ery’eyongeera. Amagezi n’ekitangala bigenze byeyongera nnyo, nga bino biraga obuboneero obukyuuka. AMAZIMA lwe lujegere olunene olusiba ne lukomya obulimba bwa sitani, era akaseera akakatyabaga akanene, omwo abantu mwe banasumululwa okuva mu kizikiza kya Sitani ekikute, olwo egye lya Mukama nga lilwana okujawo efugabbi lya sitani ne bamalayikabe. Awo ensi yonna elyoke ejule “okumanya Mukama nga amazi bwe gasanikira enyanja” — Yeremiya 31:32-34.

Kale twebuza lwaki Sitani asibwa so sikumusanyawo ? Tulaba nga okusanyizibwawo kwa sitani wekuli mu maaso era kwa ddala (Laba Abeb. 2:14; Okubikk. 20:9,10,14.); naye okusibwa emyaka olukumi nate n’asumululwa, kiraga nga waliwo ekigendererwa ekirungi Mukama Katonda kyategeeka! Kale ekigendererwa kya Mukama ki? 

Tulaba nga Katonda awa ebitonde bye bye yatonda mukifananyi kye eddebe okwesalirawo okola oburungi oba obubi nga balina ekitangala ekimala oba okumanya Amazima. Bw’ekityo bwe kyali eri Adamu ne Kawa, Yesu Kristo mu kugezesebwa kwabwe! Wewaawo ne Banabbi ba Katonda bafuna ku kitangala kya Katonda (Amazima) ekimala mu kugezesebwa kwabwe; era bwekityo bwe kiri eri Ekkanisa ya Katonda! Kale olwo omuntu alondeeko ku burungi n’obubi nga amanyi Amazima era nga tawalirizibwa. Kale mu myaka olukumi nga Kristo afuga wano ku nsi nga bwe kyawandiikibwa, Sitani ajakuba asibidwa nga abantu bonna tebalimbwa era nga tewali madiini na njigiriza enyingi ez’ekikurisitayo. Olwo abantu bayige amazima n’obutuukirivu (1 Tim.2:3-4, Isaaya 26:9, Yeremiya 31:31-34). Oluvanyuma lwe myaka olukumi ng’abantu beyagala, era nga bayize obutuukirivu, Mukama Yesu Kristo kwe kuwaayo obufuzi n’abantu eri Katonda nga batukiride (1 Abakkolinso 15:24-25). Kuba Katonda ayagala abagala obutuukirivu nga tebakakidwa n’omukono ogwekyuma era nga efunga ya Kristo bweri mu myaka egyo olukumi, Katonda wa kubagezesa nga batukiride. Kyava asumulula Sitani ne bamalayikabe, bakomewo okulimba abantu; era ekigeezo tekiri okusalawo ku burungi n’obubi wabula okwe gomba kw’omitima gyabwe bbo. Era obuterowoozako n’okwata ebiragiro bya Katonda, olwo nga sitani abakema, nga bwe yakema Kawa mu lusuku Edeni, kuba empeera y’ekibi kufa ate sitani ng’agamba toggya kufa — embeera y’obutonde yekubeezawo, tewagulwa na musaayi gwa Yesu, mugya kubeerawo mwe temulaba obulamu bwe mulina kati, n’egigiriza eraga okuwakanya ebigambo bya Katonda (Laba Zabbuli 145:20; Abeb. 2:14; 11:26-31) nti omugyemu wa kusanyawo. Kale bonna abasirusiru ba kuyingira mu kufa okw’okubiri wamu ne mukama wabwe Sitani, kwe kufa okw’emirembe gyonna (Okubikkulirwa 21:8).

DESIRING GOD’S GREAT BLESSING!

Desiring to obtain God’s blessing but indifferent in doing His will results in failure. Serving and improving the life conditions of your fellow men towards God, is one source of God’s blessing. Therefore, desiring to spread God’s Message of life but thinking you are too busy with work of whatever sort, poor to give financial support as you may not have enough for food, or you are not talented to speak, or feeling bodily imperfection that a person may ask you what you can not explain; yes in whatever form of constraint: We advise you to consider the many and varied opportunities the LORD of heaven has placed before you to serve your fellow men and women; Example, obtain copies of this monthly Newsletter — look at People interested in God’s word around you; at work place, home, neighbors, at your church, sending a copy to mother, father, friends & relatives in different places of the Country. Those who could promote this work in other right way, the opportunity stands. Yes, how refreshing and motivating you may contribute to changing Peoples lives, and yourself be God’s righteous Servant in the belief of Christ and the TRUTH.

 GROWING IN FAITH

Growth in faith is a desired state of Christian for desired fruitage of Christ likeness; But this must be in line with the will of God as expressed in 1 Thess. 5:21 KJV — “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” In line with this exhortation we advise all who are earnest students of Scriptures and our Newsletter, to prove all our studies with the only standard given by God (Isaiah 34:16) and please communicate to us!  It is also, our privilege to share the message of God’s love with others; hence we advise those who received the first publications to share them with God’s People.
