Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 20:1

The description of this angel can agree to none but Christ, or one that exerciseth a power by delegation from him: for, Revelation 1:18, it is he who hath the power of hell and death; and it is he who alone is stronger than the devil, which must be supposed to him that binds him, or we must think the devil much tamer than he is. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 20:2

There can be no question who is meant by the dragon here, and the old serpent, for the Holy Ghost interpreteth it, the devil, the enemy of mankind. And bound him: by binding also is meant the restraint of the devil in the exercise of his natural power, or the power God had before allowed him to exercise for the trial of his saints’ faith and patience. The devil is restrained in the restraint of his instruments. It is expounded, Revelation 20:3, that he should deceive the nations no more. A... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 20:3

And cast him into the bottomless pit; that is, into hell, his proper place: he shall no longer, or at least not till these thousand years be expired, exercise his power, as prince of the power of the air, Ephesians 2:2, or compassing the earth, and walking up and down in it, as Job 1:7. And shut him up, and set a seal upon him; he shall be restrained as much as one shut up in prison, whose doors are sealed up. That he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 20:1-15

THE THOUSAND YEARSCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESEMINENT expositors, ancient and modern, regard the opening of this chapter as referring to an early period in the history of the Church, but there are many writers who consider the events as occurring in immediate succession to those foreshown in the end of chap. 19. Stuart points out the intentional brevity with which this portion of the prophecy is treated. “The events of a thousand years; the invasion of Gog and Magog, with their defeat; the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 20:1-15

Chapter 20I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand ( Revelation 20:1 ).Now, earlier under the fifth trumpet there was a fallen angel that had the key to the bottomless pit, the abusso, and he opened it and released upon the earth a horde of demonic beings. Now, the angel comes with the key and the purpose is not in releasing those in the abusso, but in incarcerating now in the abusso. So, he had a key of the bottomless pit and a... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 20:1-15

Revelation 20:1 . I saw an angel come down from heaven, the high sheriff, as it were, with a divine commission, probably the same angel who had descended with glory like a morning star, and unlocked the abyss, out of which a smoke ascended, instigating the Turks to universal war and conquest: chap. 9. Now, he that opened, is sent with plenary powers to shut up, and seal the prison of hell. And if the binding of Satan be better for earth, it will be worse for hell. The kings which have lent... read more

Revelation 20:1-3An angel … having the key of the bottomless pit.Satan1. Whereas it is said that this Angel that came down from heaven had the key of the bottomless pit, we see that our Saviour has all power given to Him in heaven, the earth, and hell itself.2. That He had a great chain in His hand, shows us that how mighty and malicious soever Satan may be, yet for our comfort Christ has him in a chain, without whose permission he can do nothing.3. Whereas Satan is called an old serpent, we... read more

He took him in a field fight, and since then till now we have heard little of him, more than that he substituted the beast, Re. xiii., whose destruction being declared, the prophecy returns to show the judgment of the dragon.
