Revelation 20:1


Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.


  • ·        The final importance of Satan is perhaps indicated in the fact that it is not the Father who deals with him, nor the Christ, but only an unnamed angel.” (Morris)

  • ·        This is a dramatic declaration that Satan is not God’s opposite or equal; and that God could easily stop Satan’s activity at any time. Yet God allows Satan to continue, because even in his evil, he indirectly serves the purposes of God. (DG)

Psalm 30:3  O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit.

Ezekiel 7:23  Make a chain, for the land is filled with crimes of blood, and the city is full of violence.
