He is not defeated in the world, in most churches, in billions of lives - they are all subject to the prince of the power of the air.
So for those who do not see him defeated, they may see accurately , sadly, that he is not defeated in their own church and their own lives.
Even in our own lives, abiding in Christ Jesus today, doing the work of the Father, it is a daily battle with the enemy and with the flesh.
A false church/babylon deceives billions, and claims he is defeated, and says it is okay to sin, and to keep repeat sinning, then pay $100.00 to be forgiven.
King James Bible And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
King James Bible Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Yes, I agree with what you're saying, but the devil is restrained/bound and can only do what he is allowed by Jesus to do. We are still being tested and tried as well as chastised in this life. Your other posts indicate your confusion, stated a few times by you, and it seems you are trying to reconcile things about a few things (including the 1000 year reign) with (always false) catholic teachings that were introduced centuries ago and that inundate christendom (most churches follow catholic teachings frequently).
Your ideas developed/learned/found of the devil already being restrained/bound are not accurate, but are the catholic / babylon/ anti-christ view. The Father in Heaven Reveals in His Word the truth about this, as The Father Pleases. There is truth in Scripture about the demons and the devil not being fully released , or not near as much as they will be, but not as you've explained/posted what you think. When the devil is , per se 'full birthed' on earth, oh what a terrible time that will be (and already is disastrously for mankind, as God Permits).
It is true that unless the Father permits, not even one sparrow anywhere on the earth falls to the ground, and we are worth more than many sparrows;
but realize that we all are being daily slaughtered like sheep , and millions have been martyred in the last 10 years alone.
You are being tried and tested by God to see if you will return to Him, to His Word, to His Revealing His Word completely in line with all of His Word, in Perfect Harmony Completely with all of His Purpose and His Plan.
As far as "no one explained", well, this will be taken care of, God Willing.(on the internet or on this forum maybe not, and maybe, as God Directs). Be simple. Back to God's Word. Be Honest.

I thought Catholics are looking for a future earthly thousand year reign as well, but I will try to refresh my memory on that. I know the Jews are. But if in all these things we are more than conquerors, then surely Jesus is ruling and reigning and is the name above all names. If all our troubles are achieving for us an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs them all...then Jesus is on His throne ruling and has the upper hand over Satan. The devil has lost his place in heaven and is only a usurper, usurping through lies and deceit, as far as God allows it, and also unfortunately to the extent that we the church don't walk by faith in the power/authority/dominion that Jesus has restored and delegated to us, which we (mankind) had lost back in the Garden of Eden. Brave words from little old me I know, but I find it encouraging in a time of drought and famine. Well, while the devil is being fully birthed on earth, so I believe will Jesus Christ be fully birthed in His people. And what a battle that will be between the two. Christians will die and have died throughout the centuries, but what a victory that will be in death, just like the Captain and forerunner of our salvation. (since victory and ruling/reigning isn't judged by outward appearances.)

.if. you seek the truth from the Father , .if. He Permits, .if. He Reveals thru His Word the Truth to you... many .if.s to be enlightened today and in the future. Serious ones. All confounded and obfuscated for all mankind, and too in the churches.
Interesting perspective whether and where is the drought and famine today/ for centuries. This also will be or has been revealed.
Oh, the solution, the revelation, the evidence, the truth, is known. Pure. Holy. Righteous. "A little child shall lead them". Perfect Harmony with all Yahweh's Plan and Purpose and Word. Always in Jesus.

We do not see what you are saying because it is not true. I do not know where you are getting this teaching from, but it is false. When Jesus comes to rule and reign during that 1000 years, people will not be free to do as they please. He will rule with a rod of iron. Sin will not be tolerated. The devil will be locked up, not just subject to people of faith using their Christ delegated authority over him.
Brother, I don't know what nations will be left alive that Jesus is allegedly going to rule over in the future once He has ruled them in the sense of JUDGING them all and pouring out His wrath upon them. There are just so many contradictions of all other scriptures, with this belief of a future thousand years. We need to just take a step back and re-examine it honestly. It doesn't make sense...doesn't add up. Let's take a step back. Even if you think the literal 1000 year reign makes no sense, what you are suggesting makes far less sense. There are a lot of contradictions in what you are saying. I feel confident you are getting this from a false teacher. Do you have a minister that you listen to regularly that is teaching this? If so, who is it?
After the Great Tribulation period ends, there will be some survivors. They are people that were not killed by the plagues and various judgments, that were not part of the battle of Armageddon and did not take the mark of the beast. They will remain on this earth and go into the Millennial Reign of Christ.
What is the purpose of all of this? I could ask that question about a lot of things. What is the purpose of Jesus returning to heaven rather than setting up His Kingdom immediately after His resurrection? The best reason I can come up with is that God is showing all of His creation what kind of mess we will make of things outside of God's order. We are seeing how bad it can get now, and it will get worse. We will have 1000 years to see the difference when Jesus reigns. God does things as He wishes to. Who are we to question Him? I really would like to know who your instructor is that is teaching you this doctrine, because it reminds me a great deal of this woman preacher that was a complete heretic. She used to spend a lot of time at WCF and lives in Canada. I have crossed paths with her a few times since then at different places. Her church has cell groups and she heads one. You may not know who I am talking about, but whoever this is, they are way off. It seems like it is someone that has devised this complex method of making the Bible agree with their un-Biblical doctrine.

Pray for my pastor friend Wilson, he has been in hospital for last 3 days, and cannot feed himself anymore.
Also my dad, has this type of soar on the side of his head, my mom said it is cancerous, but my dad does not know this, he would take it bad, he has lost a lot of weight, and they have to feed him as well, pray for my dad, for healing, but mostly that he may know what salvation is all about, that he may know what a surrendered life to God is.
He has had touches of the gospel, but it appears no full commitment to God as of yet, but I trust that he will.

I remember praying for him during that time. We all need to be in prayer for these needs. Are they saying that he will not be able to feed himself from now on, like on a feeding tube? I know God can change this, but is that what the doctors are saying?
I am sorry to hear about your Father. Will be in prayer for him too.

I took a hiatus from social media for a week and it really taught me a few things.
It helped me prioritize my time better, and the benefits to my ministry and my relationship with God manifested quickly.
I also learned that I want more real-life connections with others and to act accordingly.
Ive found a good church to be involved in, and I discovered a Bible memory app that is designed well.

No he is not on a feeding tube, he just cannot see, is is clinically blind, can see just shadows. I just come from visiting my dad at his house in Northern Ontario, and was not able to visit Wilson, because only 2 people allowed to visit him in hospital at any time, but he should be going home soon, but was able to speak to him on the phone, he is totality coherant.

I am sorry to hear that. They say that the number of cases are really going up. Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery and those who have been around her will not get sick.

I ask you all to please pray for me.
I feel like I am under spiritual attack. The church shutting down, Covid, and not knowing anyone well in my city is really wearing down on me.
A lot of weakness and pain came to the surface when I tried to seek God. My mom has not hugged me since Covid started I feel like the devil does not want me to get closer to God than I am.
I wish I had more community than I do. More support. But everyone is simply trying to survive.
A lady from the church offered her support and we exchanged numbers. I will call since she offered to pray at any time.
