Satan Bound Now?

In the previous entry "Amillennialism is Postmillenialism" I stated:

"They also say that since we are in the thousand year period now, and since Christ and the believers are now ruling, and since Satan is now bound so that he cannot deceive the nations, Christ will come at the end of the Millennium. That being so, they are essentially Postmillennialists. Both agree that the second coming of Christ follows the thousand years of Revelation chapter twenty."

According to the text in Revelation chapter twenty Satan is bound at the start of the Millennium and is released at the end of the Millennium. But, if that is so, then it is also true that the second coming of Christ, according to Amillennialism and Postmillennialism, lets Satan loose upon the world to deceive the nations once again rather than binding him to not so do!

So, Premillennialists are looking for Christ to come and bind Satan in the pit and Amillennialists and Postmillennialists are looking for Christ to come and set Satan free from his prison!

Not only that, but the Amillennial message says that the coming of Christ will end the rule of the saints over the nations (since they are now in the Millennium, enthroned, and ruling the nations) when the truth is just the opposite.

This is one of the reasons I vehemently reject Amillennialism and Postmillennialism. Satan is not bound now and is doing lots of deceiving! When Christ comes, he will jail that old serpent, not let him loose. And, the second coming of Christ does not bring the saint's rule to an end but begins it.

They got the order of things wrong. It is sad to see someone get the order of things wrong in salvation (ordo salutis debate, or water baptism salvation debate), or in soteriology, but also get things in the wrong order when it comes to the Millennium and to the binding and loosing of Satan.

Further, not only is Satan not bound now (as Amillennialists affirm), neither did the first resurrection occur at the start of the church age nor continuously through the church age (another error of Amillennialism). 

Also, the saints are not now seated on thrones and reigning on the earth (another Amillennialism error). Anyone with plain honest common sense knows that the Christians do not rule the world during the church age or during their present lives on earth.
