Rev. Waldemar Vinovskis, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Macungie, Pennsylvania, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Revelation 20.

“And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20 re-introduces “the bottomless pit” of the abyss. Unlike chapter 9 where the angel opened it up, this time the angel imprisons Satan there.Confined to the abyss, Satan is no longer free to roam about “the seas” of the Gentiles. With the events of God’s judgment in AD 70, God brought the church back “to life” and positioned her to spread the Gospel all over the world. The 1000 years represents this current church age, even as it continues almost 2000 years later. Throughout Revelation, 1000 is a military symbol, here representing the church militant as Christ conquers the powers of darkness through her. Through the ups and downs, the church is at peace knowing her name is in the book of life and that Christ will win the final victory on the day of “the second resurrection.”
