Question about the "binding of Satan" from Revelation 20 -

[John146]

I asked that in case onlookers new to the faith were viewing. Didn't want to give them the impression that being bestowed with immortality would not be a blessing, just because it wouldn't be a blessing to satan. I clearly understood your point, and it most certainly wouldn't be a blessing to satan, but that doesn't mean that being bestowed with immortality is not a blessing then.

That seems like a very basic thing that everyone here would already know, but whatever.

As far as Rev 20:10, it certainly says he will be tormented day and night forever.

So, is there any reason to think it doesn't mean that literally?

With that in mind then, all the days of thy life could be meaning up until the time he is cast into the LOF, which then doesn't require that he ever has to physically die. That's one way to look at it anyway. But I wouldn't think eating dust all the days of his life would be continued in the LOF tho.

Who knows? The text from Gen 3:14 isn't clear about that, but I think Rev 20:10 is quite clear about him being tormented forever once he has cast into the LOF.

Why couldn't it? I would think eating dust is only relevant to satan's dealing with men.So then, once satan and man are cast into the LOF, satan is no longer eating dust, but instead is being tormented forever. Notice the following passage.

Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

This part...and dust shall be the serpent's meat. What exactly does that mean in relation to this passage, especially since this passage seems to be meaning during the new heavens and a new earth time?

Thats what i was trying to say, sorry.
Basically i was trying to say it couldnt have anything the do with the binding of satan, but points to the eternal torment recieved from the LoF, since the binding for a thousand years doesnt represent eternalship due to and end and release at the end of it.

Maybe i just misread your post and you misread mine or something or one way or another but were basically relating the same thing, just a mix up in between.
