Apocalipsis 20:7, Apocalipsis 20:8 NVI

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 20:7-10

Defeat of Satan (20:7-10)At the end of the time of Christ’s reign Satan is released, but he soon shows that he has not changed his ways. As usual he deceives people and incites them to rebel against God (cf. 16:12-16; Genesis 3:1-6). Rebels across the world unite against God and his people. As in a similar apocalyptic vision in the Old Testament, the anti-God leader is symbolized by a man called Gog who lives in the land of Magog. But, as in the Old Testament vision, Satan is allowed to draw... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 20:7

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,Shall be loosed ... We agree with those commentators who believe that the divine goal of redemption will be fully achieved, but that very near the end, faith shall practically vanish from the earth. "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). Just as the old Israel fell away from God and officially and finally rejected even the Messiah himself, their apostasy will be fulfilled in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 20:7

Revelation 20:7.— The following verses of this chapter to Revelation 20:11. inform us, that the happy days of the church, prophesied of in the foregoing vision, will at length have their period: though they are to continue for a long time, and are not to expire till after a thousand years: yetthen there shall be one attempt more against the purity of religion, and against the peace and prosperity of the church. Satan is to be released for a little time, or season; but in that little season he... read more

Revelation 20:7-10. When the thousand years are expired, &c.— At the expiration of the thousand years, the restraint will be taken off from wickedness,—Satan shall be loosed, and make one effort more to re-establish his kingdom. As he deceived our first parents in Paradise, so he will have the artifice to deceive the nations after the millennium, to shew, that no state or condition on earth is secured from sinning. The nations whom he shall deceive, are described as living in the remotest... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 20:7

At the end of the Millennium God will release Satan from the abyss (cf. 1 Peter 3:19). Two reasons are implied in the text: to demonstrate the incorrigibility of Satan, and to demonstrate the depravity of humanity. [Note: See David J. MacLeod, "The Fifth ’Last Thing’: The Release of Satan and Man’s Final Rebellion (Revelation 20:7-10)," Bibliotheca Sacra 157:626 (April-June 2000):204-5.] God may use an angelic agent for this purpose (cf. Revelation 20:1-3). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:1-15

Satan conquered. The Last JudgmentIn this chapter the visions of the overthrow of Christ’s enemies are continued. The devil is bound for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3); the martyrs reign with Christ for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:4-6). It is foretold that, at the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be loosed, and will make a last assault against the saints, after which he is cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10). A vision of the Last Judgment follows (Revelation 20:11-15).The binding... read more
