Revelation 20 - Introduction

CHAPTER XX.

This chapter may be regarded as the beginning' of a new section. Not that it has no relation to the past, for each section leads up to the next, and the latter grow out of the former. But this chapter leads us into scenes that are futuristic, here we have vistas that reach forward to the final judgment of the whole world.

We saw Christ and his armies conquer the beast and the false prophet and they were cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. But Satan is still at large, and this chapter shows that the battle is carried against Satan himself. The conquering Christ that led his church to triumph over the persecuting powers of earth leads on till he binds the power of Satan and frees the world at least for a time of his deceptive and seductive influence.
