This document discusses Satan's past, present, and future based on biblical passages. It describes Satan's origins as a powerful angel named Lucifer who rebelled against God due to pride. As a result, he was cast out of heaven. Currently, Satan is referred to as the god of this world and deceiver who blinds people from believing. In the future, Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years after Christ's return, to prevent him from deceiving nations until that time period ends. Then he will be released briefly before being defeated forever.

2. “In the twentieth century war
will be dead. The scaffold will
be dead. Hatred will be dead.
Frontier boundaries will be
dead. Dogmas will be dead.
But man will live. He will
possess something higher than
all these: a great country, the
whole earth, a great hope, the
whole heaven.”
Victor Hugo

3. Matthew 24:6
And you will hear
of wars and
rumors of wars.
See that you are
not troubled; for
all these things
must come to
pass, but the end
is not yet.

4. Then I saw an angel coming down from
heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit
and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold
of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the
Devil and Satan, and bound him for a
thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal on him, so that he should deceive the
nations no more till the thousand years were
finished. But after these things he must be
released for a little while.
