17th Meeting Revelation Chapter 20 - Comment Con't.
The God-man (Jesus) had to die; to fulfill the justice of God. When Adam and Eve sinned; blood had to be shed in order to restore their relationship to God. Someone had to pay for the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the garden; because they brought sin into the world, when their sin was wiped out, so was everyone else's sin. To claim this you need to believe that Jesus Christ is your Savior (John 3:16); because Jesus was the one that accomplished this. This explains why Satan was able to be thrown into the Abyss. Jesus had already destroyed his power on the cross when Jesus said "It is Finished".
Jesus will come back to rule the earth for 1,000 years, this is what millennium means. We will see what the world would be like with God in control instead of Satan. Satan needs to be taken out of the picture in order for us to get an accurate picture of how different God's world will be. The animals that we fear will eat plants and not us. The Old Testament says that the lion will lie down with the lamb. The beast of the wild will be led by a child. This would make camping in the wilderness not as scary. We will still have our free choice, which will prove our need for a Savior.
We will still have the ability to sin during this time, we won't have Satan around to entice us to sin more. We will be able to live longer. this will be explained in the next chapter of Revelation.
