did you know that during the millennial reign of Christ during the Golden Age We who live and govern with Christ on Earth will be delivered from Satan’s tyranny what change shall take place when the tempter is no longer able to seduce the Nations that will be better than it was in Eden for in Eden Satan was allowed to tempt our first parents nothing like that could ever happen in the Millennium doesn’t mean there won’t be sin on Earth listen carefully those with Mortal bodies will still battle their fallen nature and the Blessed

Eternal state of the new heavens and new earth are yet to come but think of this today you and I have three enemies as Christians those enemies are the World the Flesh and the devil consider how different it will be when one of those three is gone and we will not be beveled by our enemy sitting on 37 acres of land Southwest of Colorado Springs is a place called adx Florence it’s the most secure prison in America if you could walk its Corners you’d pass a who’s who of criminals including Zacharias masawi who

masterminded the 9/11 attacks Terry Nichols who helped plan the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing James Marcelo the notorious Chicago Crime Boss El Chapo the Mexican drug kingpin until recently Theodore kazinski the unibomber who was found dead in his cell in 2023 super spy Robert Hansen also died in his cell in fact if you go to that prison you don’t usually come out of there you usually die there their prison sentences are very long each prisoner is kept in solitary confinement with little or no time outside their cell the units

as you can see on the screen are 7 by 12 with a stool and a desk made of poured concrete a concrete bed with a foam pad and a toilet with a sink at its top the cells are soundproof multiple cameras monitor each prisoner 24 hours a day there’s a narrow slit of window that lets in the light and the slits are designed so the prisoners do not know where they are in the complex and here’s the interesting thing there has never been an escape from adx Florence I only know of one other Penitentiary more secure than America’s

supermax designed by almighty God for the worst of the evil agents in the universe that prison is known as the bottomless pit or the abyss according to revelation 20 an angel will come from heaven and John describes him having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand he laid hold of the dragon that Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years and he cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal on him so that he should deceive the Nations no

more until the thousand years were finished one of the most significant facts about this coming age of Peace this coming millenum this coming golden age is the total absence of Satan throughout the entire time the world will be free of Satan for 365,000 days a, devil less years can we get a witness for that when Satan is sealed in the abyss his influence on Earth will not be lessened it will be non-existent imagine a world in which Satan can no longer manipulate leaders and tempt Sinners and take advantage of the weak and corrupt the strong I want

you to know three things about these opening verses in Revelation 20 let’s note first of all the person of the devil you will not find find a phrase in the Bible with more accurate description of the devil than this phrase the dragon that Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan Revelation 20:2 here are four names not a four different people but four names of the same person it is a list of names that carries a sense of authority like you were going to announce them before they were thrown into jail what’s behind

these four names very interesting first of all satan is called the dragon John referred to the devil as a dragon this occurs earlier in Revelation 12 if you read Revelation 12 John sees a great fiery red dragon who sought to kill the Messiah at the time of our Lord’s first coming and he will dominate the events around his second coming as well here in Revelation 20 John identifies the ultimate version of the Dragon he says the dragon is Satan the Devil is the dragon and then the Bible calls him the serpent of

old The Serpent of old this takes us all the way back to Genesis chapter 3 when the serpent appeared in the Garden of Eden to tempt Eve and Adam into doubting and disobeying God Satan deceives you see by misquoting the Bible he used that on Eve in the garden and he tried to use it on our Lord in the desert recorded in Matthew chap 4 Satan uses this subtle method of scripture taken out of context to deceive many Satan usually does not deny the scripture he deceives with the use of the scripture adding and subtracting his

own words he takes the scripture out of context he uses it the way it was never intended to be used unfortun Satan knows the scripture better than most of us and he’s not afraid to use it he used it on Adam and Eve he used it on the Lord Jesus in the desert he hasn’t changed one of his strategies but he keeps using them over and over and over John gives us the third title for this evil person the dragon that Serpent of old who is the devil our English word for Devil comes from the Latin word the aalis and the

root meaning is one who accuses or Slanders the Bible tells us that the devil is our accuser he comes before the father and he says something like this did you see David Jeremiah Down on Earth this week how he lost his cool how he got upset how he did this or that he slandered us he he tries to make us something before God that God does not accept and then of course we have our own advoc at Jesus Christ the righteous who is there making intercession for us so we don’t have to worry about that but I want you to know

that’s Satan’s purpose he’s a slanderer in Genesis 3 he slandered God in front of Adam and Eve and he said he said God knows you won’t really die God knows that in the day you eat it your eyes would be open and you will be like God knowing good and evil with cunning the devil spun a tale of god with the intention of tarnishing God’s reputation and portraying the Lord as someone who is stingy instead of someone who is generous and all the centuries from that day until now Satan has delighted in accusing God’s children

Before the Throne pointing out our faults making accusations against us he did it with job he did it with Joshua he did it with the entire family of Believers in Revelation 12 he is always at us but he is running a feudal scam because we’re covered with the blood of Jesus we’re under the blood we’re under the protection of Christ and he keeps trying even though he can’t succeed he’s the dragon he’s the serpent of old he’s the devil and the final word for him is his more famous title he is Satan and he

laid hold of the dragon that Serpent of old who is the the devil and Satan now that term comes straight from the Greek word satanis which means adversary look up everybody Satan’s not your friend he’s not trying to help you get better he’s trying to destroy you he wants you to die his ultimate goal for you is your death he is your adversary and that’s what the word Satan means it means adversary and it occurs more than 30 times in the New Testament Satan tempts us he takes advantage of us he hinders

us he provokes us to lie he deceives us he tries to steal the word of God from our hearts all of these are right from the scripture we can safely say that Satan’s goals are to reclaim and neutralize God’s people if you are a Christian Satan will do everything he can to cause you to stumble to keep you from living the Christian Life he’s out to destroy the church that’s why there’s so many churches with division and strife he wants to manipulate your marriage because he knows that the home

is the building block of culture and that if he can destroy your marriage he’s neutralized your children he is here to try to displace God if he gets his way he will do what the Antichrist does at the very end of time where he sets himself up as God in the temple and demands that people worship him where did Satan begin he began with that very Ploy he wanted to be worshiped he wanted to be God he wanted God’s worship to be directed to him today Satan continues his strategy of division he injects the

poison of Suspicion and intolerance and hatred and jealousy so the first part of this text is who is the devil and we now know who he is but the second part is the prison into which he is cast the Bible says I saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold of the dragon that Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up the term bottomless pit you can clap for that that’s a good

thing the bottom pit is a phrase that means a very deep place and this is God’s supermax and I want you to know no one will ever escape from this prison either it isn’t hell hell is the devil’s Final Destination but for a thousand years he will be banished from Earth and imprisoned in this mysterious Penitentiary the book of Jude says and the angels who did not keep their position of authority but abandon their proper dwelling these angels He has kept in darkness bound with Everlasting chains for Judgment of the great day

when the Angels followed Satan in his Rebellion many of them were cast into the abyss some of them are free and help Satan carry on his activities for reasons only God knows he’s allowed the devil and some of his evil spirits to travel around Earth’s atmosphere spere but he’s imprisoned many of them and they are imprison as I speak do you remember when Jesus cast the demons out of the man in Luke 8 and those demons came out and they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the abyss it was a place they dreaded and

during the trumpet judgments of Revelation 9 there’s an angel who will open the shaft leading to the abyss and release these malignant and heinous demons and during the tribulation they will be set free one of the reasons the tribulation will be such an awful place is that demonic activity will be at its alltime high the Demons of Hell will be released to bring along with them the judgment and hate and death that’s a part of that 7-year period so John tells us in Revelation 20 that the devil will be bound with chains and that he cannot

escape and that he will consign to a prison he cannot avoid and he will be there for every single day of the Millennium that’s why it’s called the Golden Age no devil Hallelujah and now let’s notice not just the person of the devil and the prison of the Demons let’s notice the period of Deliverance during this time John said Satan will deceive the Nations no more till the thousand years are finished did you know that during the millennial reign of Christ during the Golden Age We who live and govern with Christ on Earth

will be delivered from Satan’s tyranny what change shall take place when the tempter is no longer able to seduce the Nations that will be better than it was in Eden for in Eden Satan was allowed to tempt our first parents nothing like that could ever happen in the Millennium doesn’t mean there won’t be sin on Earth listen carefully those with Mortal bodies will still battle their fallen nature and the Blessed Eternal state of the new heavens and new earth are yet to come but think of this today you and I have three enemies as

Christians those enemies are the World the Flesh and the devil consider how different it will be when one of those three is gone and we will not be B deved by our enemy Paul said the devil is the God of this age and during the coming golden age he will loses power gone will be his ability to amplify sexual Temptation and marital infidelity while we may be tempted we will not have to confront the enticements of Satan we’ll not have to contend with being sifted as wheat by his evil designs nor will he fill our hearts to lie to one another as

he did ananas in Acts chap 5 we’ll be able to forgive one another because we’ll be free from Satan’s divices he will not swoop down on us in unexpecting moments snatch the word out of our hearts while we’re walking out of church on Sunday he won’t hinder the workers of God as he did in 1 Thessalonians 2 gone will be his ability to plague us with demonically caused natural disaster ERS will be freed from his ability to hinder the work of the Lord on this planet no longer will he create agitation among the Nations the

Bible says that in the age that is to come we will study war no more war will be ended Satan won’t be causing Wars and the Bible says he will no longer trouble the Nations he will be unable to do that he will be consigned to the bottomless pit the B the Bible tells us that Satan was a murderer from the beginning when he’s gone we should expect that murder will be virtually non-existent during the golden age he has sinned from the beginning so we would expect the golden age to be a little more righteous and exhibit

character that we haven’t seen in a long time Satan is puffed up with pride suppose that when he’s gone we might be a little more humble today the Devil Makes many people take leave of their senses and do his will the coming golden age will be a time of wisdom and Sensibility the devil Delights in throwing God’s children into prison and persecuting them in all manner of ways I want to tell you something I learned again this week if you don’t want to have any trouble Don’t Preach on the devil it’s amazing that he still has the

kind of power that he has what he can do to us even when we’re getting ready to warn people about who he is someone once asked me why do people not think they can understand the Book of Revelation and why don’t they read it Satan keeps them from doing it because well let me ask you this question if somebody wrote a book about your terrible ending in life would you want somebody to read your book he doesn’t want anybody to read that book it tells the story of his future this is all a very interesting

study to me for a couple of reasons first of all have you noticed Satanism is on the rise Newsweek magazine published a major article entitled Satan is getting hot as hell in American pop culture the writer covers cultural trends for Newsweek and wrote The Devil is front and center in movies in TV shows in podcasts and even children’s books you see what’s happening is attendance in our churches is waning spirituality is not moving forward we had a little blip upward during Co and as soon as CO’s dangers passed we went

back not to the same level of attendance before Co happened but to lower levels we lost a lot of churchgoers in Co who found out you can go to church on the internet and they’ll never come back to church what’s happened is in this void that’s been created by the lack of Christianity moving in the right direction that void is being filled with some of these satanic things so if you watch carefully you will notice it if you look around when you’re traveling there are Satanist churches and they

advertise in front of their church that they are a Satanist Church as frightening as that is remember we may be only seven years from the moment when God will throw Satan into the abyss and slam the door on him and the knowledge of that future should comfort us today [Applause] amen so you know we shouldn’t become overly conscious of the devil but we shouldn’t let him ever get out of our sight we don’t think Satan’s defeat is just a future event he’s already defeated just waiting for the sentence

to be carried out in the meantime he’s very active why is he active because he knows his time is short his judgment is coming Satan has been defeated but he’s not yet banished and consigned to the abyss so stay alert watch out for your great enemy the devil for he prows around like a roaring lion seeking for someone to devour Satan wants to devour you he wants to devour me he most of all wants to devour your influence take you out of the game so that you can’t be an active participant anymore and he is doing it over and over and

over again almost on a weekly basis then don’t just do that stay confident in the Lord remember the Bible says greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world in other words the one who lives within you is greater than Satan in fact let me tell you something friends Satan isn’t even in God’s [Applause] Universe he doesn’t belong in the same sentence with God he is no match for God God is overwhelmingly greater than Satan Satan may be powerful but his power is nothing and when God deems it necessary

for him to be gone he’ll be gone for a thousand years in one shot and then when the thousand years are over he’ll be cast into the Lake of Fire and his Doom will be final there was a physician who wrote a book called your God is too small and one writer said there needs to be a new book written called your Devil’s too big while I am telling you to watch out for him he’s no threat to your salvation he’s no threat to your God when you put the devil in his place you put on the whole armor of God

Ephesians 6 you stand your ground you have nothing to worry about Satan is nothing but a counterfeit that’s all he is Friends Satan doesn’t have his original plan Jesus is the light of the world so Satan wants to be an angel of Light Jesus is the king of kings so Satan is King over the children of Pride Jesus is the Prince of Peace Satan is the prince of the world the prince of the power of the air Jesus is is the Lord my God Satan is the God of this age Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah Satan is a roaring

lion going about seeking whom he may devour I say this with all difference to Satan he hadn’t had an original thought since Genesis 3 he just keeps coming back with the same testing of the lust of the Flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life it’s what he did to Adam and Eve it’s what he did to Jesus in the desert and it’s the way he’s coming after us so the Bible says we’re not to be ignorant of Satan’s strategies that’s why I’m preaching this message be alert stand

against him put on the whole armor of God use the word of God to defeat him and don’t be afraid you don’t have to be afraid the god you serve is the creator of the universe I think he can handle Satan [Music] thank you for joining us on turning point as Dr Jeremiah shared how we can be Kingdom ready living expectedly for Christ’s Thousand-Year reign in the Millennium your first step towards living in the Millennium is knowing Jesus Christ in a personal way and to help you Dr jeremi would like to send
