Divine Justice and the Millennial Pit–Are you wondering what exactly happens to the ultimate enemy of God and humanity when Christ finally returns?
In this revealing and dramatic class, John Barnett unpacks the thrilling biblical climax of Satan’s earthly reign. He explains how God deals with the "number one resistor" of His divine plan, locking him away so that the final glorious promises of the Old Testament can be perfectly fulfilled.
Here is a summary of the incredible prophetic events covered in this class:
1. The Restraint of the Ultimate Resistor–Revelation 19:11-21; Revelation 20:1-3; Jeremiah.
Summary: God’s mighty end-time plan operates in distinct strokes. Following the dramatic return of Christ, the very next event is the immediate restraint of Satan. Barnett explains that God has 20% of the Old Testament yet to fulfill—specifically His promises to Israel and the establishment of the millennial kingdom. God cannot perfectly perform these promises while the universe’s ultimate resistor is loose, so an angel is sent down with a chain to bind the devil.
2. Divine Poetic Justice in the Bottomless Pit–Revelation 20:1-3.
Summary: John the Revelator watches like an on-the-spot news correspondent as an angel casts Satan into a bottomless pit, shuts him up, and sets a seal on him for a thousand years so he can no longer deceive the nations. Barnett points out the profound poetic justice in this act: centuries ago, Satan saw to it that the mortal remains of God’s Son were shut up and sealed in a tomb. Now, God has Satan sealed in a tomb, but unlike Jesus, Satan has no power to burst forth.
3. A Thousand Years of Tormenting Memories
Summary: What does Satan do during this thousand-year confinement? He rages in the ultimate prison of the universe with only his terrible thoughts to keep him company. Barnett describes how Satan will be forced to agonize over his entire history: remembering his glorious creation as the anointed cherub and worship leader of heaven, his arrogant attempt to seize God’s throne, his short-lived triumph in the Garden of Eden, and God’s ancient sentence that he would ultimately be crushed by the "seed of the woman". His seeming triumphs throughout human history are stripped away, leaving him a full millennium to think about his inevitable, eternal destruction.
This class is a powerful reminder that evil has an expiration date, and God’s ultimate victory and poetic justice are absolutely guaranteed.
