Revelation 20:3 Satan's Little Season, During The Tribulation.

[Truth7t7]

Many teach in error that Satan's "Little Season" in Revelation 20:3 takes place "After" a literal 1000 year kingdom on this earth?

Nothing could be further from truth, as Revelation 6:10-11 clearly teaches, this "Little Season" takes place during the tribulation.

The tribulation saints seen in Revelation 20:4 are also seen in Revelation 6:10-11, they are given white robes in the presence of God & the Lamb, and told to rest for "A Little Season", while the tribulation "Continues" to take place, in additional Martyr's being added to them.

This is not a future 1000 year kingdom on earth taking place, as many teach in error.

God's word explains "Very Clear" where these Tribulation saints are, and the time frame surrounds the tribulation in the "Little Season", this same "Little Season" is seen in Revelation 20:3, as Satan is loosed "During The Tribulation" in Revelation 20:7-8 to gather the nations to battle.

The teaching this "Little Season" takes place "After" a literal 1000 year kingdom on this earth is 100% error.

The little season in Revelation 6:10-11 is obviously meaning the 42 month reign of the beast per Revelation 13. Revelation 20:4 indicates that period of time precedes satan's little season.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


What I have underlined is clearly meaning what takes place during the 42 month reign of the beast per Revelation 13. No intellectually honest person could deny that. Notice those things are in past tense---which had not--- neither had received.

Nothing could be further from truth, as Revelation 6:10-11 clearly teaches, this "Little Season" takes place during the tribulation.

The obvious problem with that theory is that Satan isn't bound, chained, imprisoned at all during the tribulation which is when he is at his greatest ability to deceive the nations and rule the world which he cannot do while in the pit.

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

It is only AFTER the Millennium that he is released and has a very short time to gather an army and weakly try to attack Jerusalem and the camp of the saints.

The teaching this "Little Season" takes place "After" a literal 1000 year kingdom on this earth is 100% error.

Except that is exactly what Rev 20 teaches. If we stick to what is written as opposed to what is believed, then there is no conflict with the actual words and events found in that chapter. What you are teaching is that the little season takes place during the Millennium period and that Satan is completely able to deceive the nations...all which is simply scripturally untrue.

One thing that is 100% impossible, is that the 42 month reign of the beast can occur while satan is bound in the pit. Obviously it can only occur while he is not in the pit instead. That leaves two options. Either Revelation 13 and the reigning of the beast for 42 months, occurs before the thousand years, or after the thousand years. What does Revelation 20:4 say?

It is clearly key to be able to identify and correctly understand how particular passages fit with each other to understand when the little season actually takes place. As you point out, those who in the past tense already were killed for rejecting the mark of the beast proves that Rev 20 takes place after the trib has ended which further proves the little season Satan has happens after the tribulation and since Rev 20 also says the little season is after the thousand years we know the order of events:

1 the trib
2 the thousand years
3 the little season

There are other events but these are the events this thread deals with.

Sorry Dave, Satan/Death is released "Little Season" in the "fourth seal" as death and hell follow him during the tribulation as seen in Revelation 6:7-8 same event as seen in Revelation 20:7-8

The tribulation saints in white robes are seen in the "fifth seal" Revelation 6:9-11 reflecting on the "Little Season" on earth taking place.

Revelation 6:7-8 and Revelation 20:7-8 are the same event.

Satan is loosed for the "Little Season"

Your problem is you don't understand the binding and seal upon Satan "currently" in Revelation 20:3

As you believe Satan is bound from all evil?

Satan is only bound from one specific item, deceiving the nations to battle.

You believe and teach he is bound from all evil, the scripture does not teach this.

The interpretation of "Deceive The Nations" is given in Revelation 20:7-8, you disregard this very clear teaching.

"Deceive The Nations" to the final battle.

 

[ewq1938]

Sorry Dave, Satan/Death is released "Little Season" in the "fourth seal" as death and hell follow him during the tribulation as seen in Revelation 6:7-8 same event as seen in Revelation 20:7-8

The tribulation saints in white robes are seen in the "fifth seal" Revelation 6:9-11 reflecting on the "Little Season" on earth taking place.

The problem lies here:

Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

The righteous die during this little season however no one dies during the little season Satan is released because they are killed by God before they can harm anyone....not to mention all the righteous are immortals at that time anyways. So, thee little seasons are two time periods, one during the trib and one long after it.

Rev 6 and Rev 20 do not show the same dead saints

 

[ewq1938]

Revelation 6:7-8 and Revelation 20:7-8 are the same event.

Satan is loosed for the "Little Season"

Your problem is you don't understand the binding and seal upon Satan "currently"

Th Rev 20 imprisonment is not happening now. The state of the world easily proves that. Satan roams like a lion according to scripture which proves your theory that is is partially bound to be false.

Revelation 6:7-8 and Revelation 20:7-8 are not the same event. One is before the trib, one is after it. One group are dead, one were dead but are resurrected to rule with Christ. The two passages are clearly not the same to anyone who understands them properly.

 

[God bless Joshua]

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

The reason God will release the devil again after Jesus Millennium is over is that God can use the devil to test the obedience of the Millennium people.

But the devil is very tricky and experienced in deceiving mankind, as it did be4
in our present time right now.
Rev 12:9 that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which DECEIVETH the whole world...

The devil will succeed to lead people to attack Jerusalem and to try to kill Jesus Christ and His saints, and to replace Jesus with the devil to rule the world.

There will be no more forgiveness from God after they enjoy so much abundant, incomparable and beautiful world in Christ Millennium.
Rev 20:9 and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

It will be like the time when ungrateful Lucifer led the fallen angels to rebel and try to finish God by all means, he was defeated and cast out of his heavenly rights without any chance to repent. But Almighty God Jehova still use him to test the obedience of mankind (us) until now.

As God will use him again for the last time after the Millennium of Christ is over.

To add to what you put, all one needs to do is compare Revelation 9 to Revelation 20. Both show the pit opening. The reasons the pit is open in Revelation 9 is not the same reasons it is opened in Revelation 20.

Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.



Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.



Compare----And it was commanded them that they should not hurt---but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads----vs----And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle



Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Revelation 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
'

And this above is somehow related to Revelation 20:8? Really?

 

[Truth7t7]

We Will Disagree.

Satan is currently bound from one specific item "Deceiving The Nations" To Battle, You disregard the interpretation given in Revelation 20:7-8

Revelation 6:7-8 and Revelation 20:7-8 are the same event.

Satan is loosed for the "Little Season"

You believe and teach there are two separate "Little Seasons" of Satan? "False"

The reason you create two separate events, is to make your 1000 year kingdom on earth fit, it doesn't fit as you bend and twist.

Your problem is you don't understand the binding and seal upon Satan "currently" in Revelation 20:3

As you believe Satan is bound from all evil?

Satan is only bound from one specific item, deceiving the nations to battle.

You believe and teach he is bound from all evil, the scripture does not teach this.

The interpretation of "Deceive The Nations" is given in Revelation 20:7-8, you disregard this very clear teaching.

"Deceive The Nations" to the final battle.

Th Rev 20 imprisonment is not happening now. The state of the world easily proves that. Satan roams like a lion according to scripture which proves your theory that is is partially bound to be false.

Revelation 6:7-8 and Revelation 20:7-8 are not the same event. One is before the trib, one is after it. One group are dead, one were dead but are resurrected to rule with Christ. The two passages are clearly not the same to anyone who understands them properly.

 

[ewq1938]

You believe and teach there are two separate "Little Seasons" of Satan? "False"

It's not false. Satan has a little season to rule the world during the trib then after he is imprisoned, he will have another even shorter season before he is cast into the LOF.

 

[Truth7t7]

The problem lies here:

Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

The righteous die during this little season however no one dies during the little season Satan is released because they are killed by God before they can harm anyone....not to mention all the righteous are immortals at that time anyways. So, thee little seasons are two time periods, one during the trib and one long after it.

Rev 6 and Rev 20 do not show the same dead saints

No problem at all Revelation 6:7-11 & Revelation 20:3-7 are the same exact event, in the "Little Season" saints in the presence of Jesus Christ, and Satan being loosed.

This takes place during the tribulation.

 

[Truth7t7]

It's not false. Satan has a little season to rule the world during the trib then after he is imprisoned, he will have another even shorter season before he is cast into the LOF.

Sorry the "Little Season" seen in Revelation 6:7-11 & Revelation 20:3-7 are?

"The Same Exact Events"

1. Saints in the presence of the Lord.

2. Satan Released.

3. "Little Season" takes place.

Of course you desire these to be different events, you are a millennialist trying to salvage a 1000 year kingdom on earth.

 

[ewq1938]

No problem at all Revelation 6:7-11 & Revelation 20:3-7 are the same exact event

They aren't the same event. That has already been proven. Revelation 6:7-11 is BEFORE the mark of the beast and no trumpets have been sounded, Revelation 20:3-7 is AFTER the mark of the beast and all trumpets have sounded by this time.

Nothing could be further from truth, as Revelation 6:10-11 clearly teaches, this "Little Season" takes place during the tribulation.

The tribulation saints seen in Revelation 20:4 are also seen in Revelation 6:10-11, they are given white robes in the presence of God & the Lamb, and told to rest for "A Little Season", while the tribulation "Continues" to take place, in additional Martyr's being added to them.

This is not a future 1000 year kingdom on earth taking place, as many teach in error.

God's word explains "Very Clear" where these Tribulation saints are, and the time frame surrounds the tribulation in the "Little Season", this same "Little Season" is seen in Revelation 20:3, as Satan is loosed "During The Tribulation" in Revelation 20:7-8 to gather the nations to battle.

The teaching this "Little Season" takes place "After" a literal 1000 year kingdom on this earth is 100% error.

Satan is not currently in the bottomless pit. He goes about like roaring lion seeking who he can destroy.

Satan and his angels will be cast down, restricted to earth, for the time, times, half times in Revelation 12:14. Essentially the second half of the seven years.

Revelation 20:3 is at the end of the 1000 year millennium, when during that time Jesus will rule the nations with a rod of iron, until right at the very end when Satan will be loosed for a little season.
