Rev. 20:2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent that is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

 

For Satan being called "that old serpent" and "the great dragon" This verse also shows that our Heavenly Father is in total control, and that Satan's destruction will not occur until he has fulfilled the negative side of God's Plan. Does that mean a test for those upon the earth?

 

Well, yes. But those who stay on The Father through His Son Jesus Christ will be prepared for it, and will not be tempted by antichrist as false messiah. Not being tempted by that "man of sin" (Satan) who sets himself up in the Temple means to be kept from the hour of temptation.

 

 2 Thessalonians 2: Read All.

 

 Rev.3:10. Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

 

How's that? Those who have done their homework in God's Word by His Guidance know to expect the impostor (antichrist) first

Notice also where the "dragon" will be per this (Isaiah 27:1 verse.) The phrase, "the dragon that is in the sea" refers to Satan being cast out of heaven with his angels for the latter days.

 

Revelation 13:1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

 

 We are given the metaphor of the first beast rising up out of the "sea."

 

Revelation 17:15. And he saith unto me, “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

 

 This "sea" is symbolic of peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues upon the earth. Then at...

 

 Revelation 13:11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

 

Satan himself is described doing works here on earth, in person, as the "another beast", i.e. the second beast of that Chapter. That's his role of false messiah king over all nations and peoples upon the earth, in our near future.

 

 Rev.17: Read All:

 

 2 Thess.2: Read All

     So there's no mistaking that this Isaiah 27 Chapter is really talking about the latter day events also given in our Lord's Book of Revelation. This is more proof that the Book of Revelation is most certainly  part of God's Word, even though Its style appears to be written differently than most of the other New Testament Books. Do you realize what else this matter tells us?

 

It reveals the importance of studying the Books of God's Old Testament prophets in order to open up His Book of Revelation in understanding.
