Revelation 20:2
He laid hold on the dragon . . . and bound him for a thousand years.
The chain (Revelation 20:1) I suppose to be the Word of God. At this period
of the triumph of righteousness the gospel takes such hold of the
hearts of men that Satan loses his powers over them. We can easily see
how this is accomplished by what takes place under our own eyes. A man
may be drunken and lawless, but if he repents under the influence of
the gospel he ceases to serve Satan. The devil loses his power over
that man. When that period shall come for which the saints in all ages
have wistfully looked, when the laws of God shall be written upon every
heart, then Satan, bound with a chain, the chain of truth, shall be
deprived of influence on the earth.
