The casting down of Satan and his angels out of heaven permanently will take place when the Abomination of Desolation happens. This is the time known as Jacobs trouble, the Great tribulation, and Day of the Lord. It will be the final 3 and half years of this age. When Satan is cast down he will indwell the beast. Revelation 13 details this. His time will be short and thus he will tread down the whole world in anger. This is when the wearing out of the saints takes place. All this happens in the future.
The beast of Revelation 13 is a human being who will be indwelt by the dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan. I believe he is alive right now, but he hasn't been revealed yet because his reign of terror has not begun as of yet.
I believe that the dragon in Revelation 12 is the serpent that was in the garden of Eden. He is the source of all evil in this universe. He was once called Lucifer before his fall, but is now known as Satan. He is the adversary of our souls and the source of all confusion.
yes the dragon was the serpent in genesis...but u realise that their is a serpent seed tho right ?...the romans were of that serpent seed, thats why the dragon had 10 horns and 7 heads like the beast in revelation and daniel, it represented the roman empire.
genesis 3: 15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
^^^ the seed of the woman (israel) and the seed of the serpent (edom) will be enemies, until we destroy that seed from off the face of the earth.
the seed of cain were the edomites also...thats why obadiah propchised the extermination of the nation of edom in obadiah, and its always why paul called the edomites "vessels of wrath fitted for destruction"
psalm 37: 9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
anyway the point im tryin to make is...the dragon n the beast are pretty much one n the same and their destruction will come at the same time, after that the christ' kingdom will be eatablished on earth.
the lake of fire in revelation 20 is the final jdugement, which happens upon christs' return, peter of it in 2 peter 3rd chapter
christ cant return twice and bring armegeddon twice, its only guna happen once...
