Revelation 20:1–10

This passage has three parts:

• the binding of Satan (Revelation 20:1–3),

• the reign of God’s holy people (Revelation 20:4–6), and

• Satan's release for a final battle attempt (Revelation 20:7–10).

Four themes emerge:

1. Satan's war is pointless—he cannot resist even an angel;

2. God’s holy people will be justified and honored;

3. God will achieve the final victory; and

4. even when sinful people experience Christ’s good purposes, they still follow Satan when he gains some freedom to act.
