Revelation 20:2

Revelation 20:2  KJV  "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years."

Interpretation based on the following study:  Even mighty to prevail and keep, to have complete dominion over to possess and reign, over this serpent devil, who fascinates and enchants, with his sharpness and cunning, artful in treachery, skulking in malicious murderous proclivities, the adversary of God and man, jealous, adulterous and envious, with singleness of motive toward evil.  Original and ancient in sin, who falsely accuse and slander, making assaults to allege offense to lay charges against wrongfully for the love of gain;  to malign and condemn and represent blamable, to vilify and willfully destroy the name of another, with intention to injure and propagate falsehood, distorting facts to bring ruin and destruction.  Indeed, the accuser is bound and must meet inquiry to be searched out by investigation to be examined and judged.  This same one, for a thousand years.
