Nonsense. If anyone is being lazy here, it's you. It's clear that you have not done your homework. You just give opinion after opinion without providing any scriptural support. That is lazy and useless.
The difference is being born again of Christ, the promised seed, and have full revelation of Scriptural knowledge, to resist the devil daily in spiritual warfare against sinning with filthiness of the spirit and flesh.
In the OT Scriptures speaking of Satan's influence was rare, and limited to Job, prophecies of His fall as Lucifer, his deception of nations, and resisting the Lord's high priest in Zechariah.
He was not yet even identified as that old serpent in the garden.
His role on earth has not changed since the garden, but the individual saint's power and ability to resist him in daily war has changed.
What has changed is not the devil's power on earth as the god of this world, but is Jesus Christ coming in the flesh.
Satan is not now shut up from the earth, until the first bodily resurrection of the church in Rev 20.
And the thrones the saints will sit on earth, are during their reign with Jesus over all the earth.
Was that the case in Old Testament times? You're not recognizing the difference between what he was able to do in Old Testament times compared to New Testament times.
It's not the change in what the devil is able to do on earth, but the change in what every man is able to do on earth: to resist him with the power of Christ dwelling within.
In typical OSAS fashion, you put all the work on Jesus to repent and overcome the devil and sin, while the believers only just coast along by faith alone.
Rev 2:
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
This may indeed be the reason you people vehemently reject Scriptures speaking of Jesus' earthly reign over all nations with His saints: you don't want to need to be overcomers of the flesh and sin, even as Jesus was on earth. You don't want the necessity of walking in His steps in righteousness and true holiness.
You want that to be spiritually symbolic only.
Since Scripture is speaking literally in Rev 20, then so is Scripture speaking literally in Rev 2. In order to have part in the bodily resurrection and reign with Jesus on earth: we must overcome sin daily to be godly doers of righteousness and not ungodly sinners like the world.
Unrighteous workers of the flesh on earth today, will not be reigning with Jesus over all the earth tomorrow, because they aren't even spiritually reigning with Jesus over their own lives today.
His binding is not about that. You're taking a symbolic description of his binding literally, which is not a wise thing to do. A spirit being cannot be literally chained up.
Tell that to God:
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.
If the chains aren't real, then neither is the hell the chains are in.
Once again, you do away with the truth of Scripture, by symbolizing away anything you like.
That is what you believe, but your interpretation of Revelation 20 contradicts a lot of other scripture. You don't seem to care about that.
I don't care about your Symbol Man's Bible.
