Revelation20:3
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit , and shut him up, and set a seal upon him , that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled ; and after that he must be loosed a little season .
That is, into Hell, his proper place: He shall no longer, or at least not till these thousand Years be expired, exercise his Power, as Prince of the Power of the Air, Eph. 2.2. or compassing the Earth, and walking up and down in it, as Job 1. 7.
But shall be restrained as much as one shut up in Prison, whose Doors are sealed up.
That till this Time of God's Counsel for the quiet of his Church be run out, he shall not deceive People by his old Arts.
But after that he shall have a Liberty again, (as vers. 7.) for a little time.
