The Earth is destroyedThe Earth is destroyed
The revelator foretells the banishment of Satan and the
condition of chaos and desolation to which the earth is to be
reduced, and he declares that this condition will exist for a
thousand years. {Revelation 20:1-3}.That the expression
"bottomless pit" represents the earth in a state of confusion
and darkness is evident from other scriptures. Concerning the
condition of the earth "in the beginning," the Bible record says
that it "was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep.” Genesis 1:2. Prophecy teaches that it will
be brought back, partially at least, to this condition..
{GC 658-659}
…. Here is to be the home of Satan with his evil angels for a
thousand years. Limited to the earth, he will not have access to
other worlds to tempt and annoy those who have never fallen. It is
in this sense that he is bound: there are none remaining, upon
whom he can exercise his power. He is wholly cut off from the
work of deception and ruin which for so many centuries has been
his sole delight.
