Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
3 And he cast him into the abyss and shut him up and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed a little time.
What does it mean to seduce someone? The dictionary says so ... To make someone deliberately believe that something is not the truth, especially for personal gain ...
Now why does he want to deceive the nations, what can he gain?
1) He wants to deceive others because he has rebelled against God. If he can deceive others, it means that they also rebel against God - his time is little and he wants to kill as many people as possible because he scared of what the born again child of God, filled with Christ can do against him and his kingdom.
2) He does not want us to have authority in God because when we as Gods children loose our authority, he has authority over us.
3) He wanted to be God, and could not, now he knows that if we grow into the image of the Son, we grow into God’s image! He wants fellow soldiers who are also in opposition to God and His Word.
4) He wants his kingdom to grow here on earth. He knows that the church is enormously large and if the church is faithful to God, he loses his hold on humanity.
5) Of course he wants to win the war! He is in war with the Father, Son and Spirit, and also with the church, also every true believer as well.
6) He knows he has only a little while before Jesus comes to fetch his bride (the church). Therefore he wants to deceive people so that they will not get their inheritance.
7) He wants to get back what he lost to Christ - therefore he will do everything to try to destroy the faith of Christ's bride.
Do not hide or lose your authority. You, with God in you, are stronger than him! But without the Lord he is in charge.
