REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Forty - Satan Abyssed - Conclusion

 Will Satan and  his demons be active while in  the abyss?  Well, remember the scarlet-colored seven-headed wild beast that "was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss." (Revelation 17:8)  While i the abyss, 'it was not.' It was nonfuntioning,immobilzed, all all intents and purposes dead.  Likewise, speaking of Jesus, the apostle Paul said: " 'Who will descend into the abyss?' That is to bring Christ up from the dead."  (Romans 10:7)   While in that abyss, Jesus was dead. It is reasonable to conclude, then, that  Satan  and his demons will be in a state of deathlike inactivity for the thousand years of their abyssing. What good things for lovers of righteousness!
