What does the Bible say about the binding of Satan?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible describes the binding of Satan as a necessary act for the redemption of God's elect, showing Christ's authority over him.

The binding of Satan, as described in Revelation 20:1-2, symbolizes the authority of Christ in securing the salvation of His people. This event highlights the sovereignty of Christ as He is depicted as having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in His hand. The passage shows that through His incarnation, obedience, and sacrificial death, Jesus effectively binds Satan, preventing him from exerting his influence over those whom Christ came to redeem. This binding is not merely a future event but is understood as already being in place through Christ's victory at the cross and His resurrection.
