SATAN'S LAST "FLING"     	Pastor Bob Chroninger 
Trinity C.U.  8-27-00 A.M.  		Revelation 20:7-10    
	Did you ever ask, "Why did God create Lucifer?" "Why did God allow Lucifer to rebel?"  
"Why didn't God stop him after the rebellion?"  "Why doesn't God stop him from all his 
deceit now?"  "Why is God waiting so long to bring him to justice?" 
	Well... let's see what the Bible says... 
I.  SATAN WILL BE LOOSED.. 
  A. Who?  That dragon, serpent, devil, Satan... 
    1. The Deceiver; Destroyer (Jn.8:44); Discourager 
    2. The Antagonist (Gen.3:1); Accuser (Rev.12:10); Adversary (1Pe.5:8) 
  B. When? 
    1. The text says it very plain... after the 1000 years.. vs.7 
    2. The paradise restored is concluding... 
  C. Why? 
    1. He will have been in "prison".. no attempt to do his worst... 
    2. There will be the "undecided" during the last part of the 1000 yrs. 
	Isaiah 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that 
	hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner 
	being an hundred years old shall be accursed. (KJV) 
II.  SATAN WILL LIE  (Again!) 
  A. He Was A Liar To Eve..  Gen.3:1 
  B. He Was A Liar To Jesus.. Mt.4:1-11 
  C. He Is A Liar Now.. 
    1. He has persuaded multitudes that evil is good and good is evil Is.5:20 
    2. He has persuaded many that a baby is not a baby until completely born 
    3. He has persuaded the masses that the Bible is not true... 
	- That God does not exist 
	- That evolution is a fact 
	- That heaven and hell do not exist 
  D. He Is The "Father" of Lies..  Jn.8:44 
    1. He filled Ananias' heart to lie to the Holy Spirit.. Acts 5:3 
    2. You can be sure.. anything contrary to the plain teaching of God's Word is a lie 
       instigated by the "father of lies" 
  E. He Will Lie Again.. (after the 1000 year reign)  vs.8.. he shall go out... 
    1. To deceive the nations.. all over the world 
    2. To gather them together to do battle... a vast number will follow.. 
	- Even though this period will be as Eden restored... 
	- Satan will persuade people that God is withholding good from them 
    3. To bring them to surround.. the camp of the saints & beloved city 
III.  SATAN WILL LOSE.. 
  A. The Devil and His Deceived Army Will Be Destroyed.. 9 
	- The Battle Will Not Be Great... 
    1. Fire comes down.. from God... out of heaven... 
    2. Fire devours them... brings them to an end 
	- The deceived armies will await briefly a resurrection.. 
  B. The Devil That Deceived Them.. 10 
    1. He will be cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone.. 
	- The same place the Antichrist & False Prophet ARE.. 
    2. He will be tormented.. 10 (Mk.5:7; Lu.8:28; Rev.95; 11:10; 14:10) 
	- The rich man of Luke 16:20-31 is a good example.. 
    3. He will be tormented forever!! 
	- There is no release this time.. as in 20:7 
	- There is no relief.. day and night
	- There is no return.. it is forever!! 
WELL... SATAN IS THE BIG LOSER... AND IT WILL FINALLY CATCH UP WITH HIM. 
   WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?? 
      TODAY, NOW IS THE DAY of SALVATION...  2Cor.6:2
