Satan Bound
The deceiver imprisoned
From the teaching of Apostle Mary Banks
When the reign of Christ begins, John sees an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He lays hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and binds him a thousand years. Satan is cast into the bottomless pit and shut up, and a seal is set upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years are fulfilled.
The deceiver who has worked through seducing spirits and lying doctrines from the beginning is removed from the earth for the whole of the Millennium. With Satan bound, the nations live under the righteous rule of the King and of the saints who reign with Him, and the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
His binding is not yet his final end. Scripture says that after this he must be loosed a little season. When the thousand years are expired he is released for a short time, and then he is cast into the lake of fire for ever.
The scriptures
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
