THE CASTING OF SATAN INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT BEFORE THE MILLENNIUM

Revelation 20:1-9

[1]And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

[2]And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

[3]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.

[4]And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[5]But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[6]Blessed 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.

[7]And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

[8]And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

[9]And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

This Scripture above will be our anchor for the post Millennium Series before we go into the white throne Judgement series. Now, I will like to explain this scriptures in accordance with the end time table as listed in our previous article, Introduction to Post Millennium Series 

Firstly, It should be understood that immediately after the Armageddon war the antichrist (beast) and his false prophet would have been cast alive into the lake of fire (the final destination of Satan, his angels, the serpent seeds and the unbelivers). I will not like to go into this topics for now. Stay tune till we shall teach on the Antichrist, the false prophet, Serpent seed, etc.... 

Revelation 19:20

[20]And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Now back to our anchor scripture at the top, I will like to explain each verse briefly, and verse 1-3a will take us back to Pre-Millennium, because the event revealed here has to take place just before the Millennium immediately after the end of Armageddon war. 

Verse 1 - 2

[1]And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

[2]And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

The Question to ask now is that What's the personality of the angel that come down from heaven having the key of bottomless pit and could laid hold on Satan just like that and bound him up for thousands years? 

For us to understand the personality of this angel, we have to look at other scriptures for us to have the true revelation.. 

Revelation 1:18

[18]I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Revelation 9:1

[1]And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Revelation 12:7-9

[7]And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

[8]And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

[9]And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Jude 1:9: Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Daniel 10:13: But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Daniel 10:21: But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

In the light of the scriptures above, it is clear that the personality of this angel can agree to none but Jesus Christ: it is He who hath the keys to and power of hell and death; it is He that have the superior power over the satan and it is he who alone is stronger than the devil and not any other angel, if we compare this with other scriptures above, then we will see that there is a connection between Michael and Jesus Christ... It's a Mystery, who is this Michael?  Does it means Archangel Michael is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Angelic form? I don't want to go deeper than this. Search it out. 

Verse 3

[3]a 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:

Now, immediately the Antichrist and his false prophet has been cast alive into the lake of fire, the dragon (which is Satan and the Devil) will not be cast to the lake of fire, but into the bottomless pit. He will be cast there for a thousand year, so the Devil will be in the bottomless pit, during the 1000 Millennium Reign of Christ, so the devil won't be able to deceive any nation during the millennium. But, we shall soon see that he will be release again.

It should be understood that hell, bottomless pit and the lake of fire are different dimensions for the punishment of satan and his people but the climax of punishment and everlasting torment is the lake of fire.

POST - MILLENNIUM SERIES - Introduction

We bless the Lord Jesus Christ for how far he has helped us all this years. Our last series last year was the Armageddon and Millennium Series. Where we explained the Pattern of the Armageddon war, what will lead to the war, nations that will be involved in the war and even the kind of weapons that will be use in this war. From there we move to the Millennium Series, where we explain what happens before and during the millennium. You can log on to our home page to read on this topics. www.endtimehub.blogspot.com.

Now, what next is to move ahead to the our next series which is what happens after the millennium. But before I go into that, I will like to remind us the stages of the end time, that is review of events in perfect order..

1) Rapture

2) The Great Tribulation

3) Armageddon 

4) 1000 Years Millennium 

5) Release of Satan From Bottomless Pit

6) The White Throne Judgment

7) The New heaven and New earth appears

But before we go into the Post Millennium Series, Remember in our last teaching, we said and I quote "During the Millennium the Bride (the translated saints i.e the wise virgins) live in the higher realm with Jesus (in the heavens)." So, a question has been coming to my mind, what will be translated saints (the Wise virgins) be doing in heaven during the millennium on earth. But God gave me an insight early hours of the 1st of January.

We know that the white throne Judgement follows a short while after the millennium because Satan will be released a short while to deceive the people after Millennium.

Now, the scriptures reveals that the translated saints will be involved in the white throne Judgement with Jesus Christ. They will judge the world and angels (the fallen angels and demons). Let's see some scriptures that talk about this....

1 Corinthians 6:1-3

[1]Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

[2]Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

[3]Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Daniel 7:9-10

[9]I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

[10]A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Now, the scriptures above reveals this. Because Daniel 7:9-10 speaks about the white throne Judgement, and THRONES were cast down, So that ministered unto Him are the people that sat on this Thrones to help in judging the world and angels.

Having established that, let's move on to

1 Corinthians 6:5

[5]I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

This Scripture reveals that it's only a wise man that can judge, that's is to judge wisdom and knowledge is a pre-requisite. Another scripture is in...

2 Chronicles 1:10-11

[10]Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

[11]And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

King Solomon have to request from God wisdom and knowledge in order to judge His people. So, what are we saying....

During the millennium, the translated saints will be receiving impartation of God's Wisdom and Knowledge. They will be taught and receive insights on how to go about judging the world and angels during the white throne Judgment.

I believe this is true and in accordance with the scriptures. This might not be the only thing the translated saints will be doing heaven but I believe this is an integral part of it.

What an experience this will be for those that make it up in the Rapture and escape the great Tribulation. This is an experience that a true child of God should cherish and desire to be part of.

So Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for some true christian, is that they might go up in the Rapture. For I bear them record that many of them have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's Truth and going about to believing and following doctrine of men which has blinded their eyes of understanding, by so doing they have not submitted themselves unto every Word of God which able to redeem their bodies, soul and spirit and also go up in the Rapture.

It's high time we put aside all the lie and doctrine of men and follow after the Truth of God's Word, because every Word of God must be known, understood and live by it for you to make it up the Rapture, there no two ways about it. There is a Rapturing message that gives you the Rapturing faith and anointing needed to go up in the Rapture, this we do on End time hub and our other websites.

Stay tuned always...

THE 1000 YEAR MILLENNIUM - The Final Part

During the Millennium the Bride (the translated saints i.e the wise virgins) live in the higher realm with Jesus (in the heavens). All law and order will come from Jesus to the twelve tribes governing the earth. Now let's talk about those that will be on the earth during the Millennium. Part of them are those left of the nations that fought at Armageddon Rev 20:8. Some of them are the remnant of the Israelites that survived the Armageddon war (Zech 13:8-9). Rev 20:1-2 tells us that Satan is bound in the bottomless bit for the whole period of the millennium, after which he is loosed again.

Rev 20:4-5 gives more insight about those who will be on the earth during the Millennium.

Revelation 20:4-5

[4]And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[5]But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

So we see from the above scripture that part of those that will be on earth are those who have gone through Great tribulation(tribulation saints, the foolish virgins). Those that missed the Rapture and were killed because of their refusal to deny Jesus. Verse 5 tells us that they are resurrected. This is referred to as the first resurrection. There is a second resurrection but this does not happen until after the millennium, the first resurrection happens before the Millennium. Then Verse 6 tells us that they shall be priests and they shall reign with Christ for a thousand years. Also that the second death (eternal seperation from God - Rev 20:14-15) does not have power over them. Amen. They are given thrones, and judgement will be given to them. They are overcomers and so they shall reign with him during the millennium.

What other things happen during the Millennium? 

(1) The Climate

The climate will be the same all over the world as it once was. Once was I said, the earth has suffered a catastrophic overthrow once, before Adam was created Gen 1:1,2. So great was this overthrow that it left the earth void. There is a time gap between Gen 1:1 and 1:2, Gen 2:4 tells the earth was created in generations. This catastrophic destruction was mentioned in Isaiah 24:1, Jer 4:23-26. There definitely was a pre-adamite civilization and it suffered a great destruction.

This catastrophic destruction caused a tilt in the earth's axis and in the sixth day of creating man; six thousands years ( a day to a thousand years, 2Peter 3:8) God would intervene and restore all things back to the way it used to be. One of those things will be the climate. There will be a shift again in the earth's axis. The bible says the foundations of the earth are out of course and this causes our harsh seasons of storms, tornadoes but the Lord is going to shift it back for the Millennium, and as he does it will cause the greatest earthquakes that the earth has ever seen. All the cities and mountains will fall Rev 16:18-21.

(2) Restoration of Perfect Year of 360 Days

Also during the Millennium the perfect year of 360 days will be restored. According to the scriptures, the actual length of the year before the flood was 360 days. It could have been the gravitational forces which caused the flood, disturbed the earth's orbit so as to lengthen the year to 365 one-quarter days.There is a solar year of 365 one-quarter days, the perfect calendar year of 360 days, and the lunar year of 354 days. Which of these years does God use in the scriptures? We find the answer in the account of the flood in Gen 7:11-24, Gen 8:3,4. There we are told that the five months, from the 17th of the second month until the 17th of the seventh month, are reckoned as 150 days, 30 days to a month.

Also if we look at the time period of the Great tribulation; referred to as the time of Jacob's trouble Jer 30:7 and that spoken of by Daniel as a time of trouble like never before; we see these period correlating with a period of 42 months of the second half of the reign of the Antichrist Rev 13:5, a period of 1260 days of persecution of the remnant of the woman's seed and a period of 1260 days of the ministry of the two witnesses to the Israelites during the Great tribulation. These time periods are the same; whether 1260 days or 42 months or a period of times, times and a half(three and a half years). The period of 42 months is the same as 1260 days taking into reckoning 30days to a month and this gives us further evidence.

(3) Shortage of Men

Isaiah 4:1 tells us there will be a shortage of men during the millennium.

[1]And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Verse 2, reveals this is definitely during the millennium, due to the great battle of Armageddon there is a severe shortage of men.

More proof - Isaiah 13:12 tells us after the Great tribulation God will make a man more precious than fine gold , a man even more precious than the golden wedge of Ophir. You can read verses 10-11.

Also Rev 6:8 tells us that under the fourth seal, a fourth part of the earth dies. Rev 9:18, under the 6th trumpet a 'third part' of the men are killed and then many more during the plagues. Evidently the Lord allows the above mentioned so as to populate the earth again during the thousand year reign they become as the sands of the sea again.

(4) Longetivity of Life

Also we see that during the millennium men will live to be almost a thousand years and children over a hundred years Isaiah 65:20.

Isaiah 65:20

[20]There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

(5) Difference in Sun and Moon Compare to Pre-Millenium

The Sun will be different during the millennium; Isaiah 30:26 tells us the the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and that of the sun seven times like that of seven days.

Isaiah 30:26

[26]Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

(6) Greatest Breakthrough in Science and Technology.

Lastly during the millennium we will witness the greatest breakthrough in science. Jesus will reveal many fantastic new things to men concerning knowledge, building and space and etc. Mankind himself will reach a zenith of super science like unto a peak of pyramid. Man may learn how to fly by energy magnetic forces in the air Ezekiel 1 or teach him how to use the forces that are in the stars.

In conclusion it is worth of repetition to say that the translated saints will spend this period of one thousand years with Christ in heaven, when the foolish virgins (the Tribulation saints) that missed the Rapture will be on earth for 1000 years.

What a wonderful experience it will be for those in heaven. Hallelujah!

We utmost wish for you is to make it in the Rapture.

This brings us to the end of this series on Armageddon and Millennium. We know you have been greatly blessed and we pray that when the Lord shall come to take his chosen ones, you shall not be found wanting.

God bless you. Amen.

Stay tuned for our next series which is Post-Millennium.

Always make mention of us in your prayers...

Thank You All!
