That bottomless pit is IN HEAVEN. Didn't you read the Isaiah 42:7 and 1 Peter 3 Scripture I referred to about Jesus going to the "spirits in prison" (in the heavenly), preaching The Gospel to them, and leading the prisoners that believed out of that pit prison house?
What you are not understanding is that the war in Heaven of Revelation 12:7 forward has NOT happened yet today. It is for the time when the "great tribulation" starts, because Jesus gave with it pointers to the tribulation in connection with the 5th Seal of Revelation 6, and the period of a "time, and times, and half a time" (the 1260 day latter half of Daniel's symbolic "one week" of Daniel 9:27).
Of specific importance about that Revelation 12:7-9 Scripture, is how when that casting of Satan and his angels down to this earth happens, and then there is no more place found for them IN HEAVEN, it means they are coming here literally on earth, in PLAIN SIGHT. This is why Revelation 17:8 says those whose names are not written in the book of life will 'wonder' at him when they see him.
As of right now, since Satan's original fall, he has been going back and forth, up and down the earth, and appearing before God's Throne in Heaven to accuse us. He is still doing that, and is still allowed in Heaven today, otherwise that Revelation 12:8 verse would not show when he is cast out at the end in our near future he won't be allowed back in Heaven.
Now if you don't understand this, it means you don't really understand the Heavenly order of things, because Satan and the angels have no flesh bodies, but spirit bodies only. When they appear on earth in plain view it is with their spirit body, not a flesh body. And that spirit body looks and feels just like a flesh body, as Paul showed in Hebrews 13 where he told those in Christ to be mindful of entertaining strangers, because some have entertained angels unaware.
LOL!! In my post #206 I tried to prevent the fantastical, Religious fiction stories from coming forth, but now that you opened the flood gate, it just can't help but get more crazy from there.
In my post #214, I briefly but specifically clarified the current situation of satan after the Ascension of Christ
So, if you think that I don't understand scripture, its worse for you, because you don't even have a vague clue about Isa. 42:1-9 and the power of Christ's Death, Resurrection and Ascension, that was accomplished by God against satan!!
Ever since then, satan CANNOT ever again approach God's throne, nor can he enter back into heaven. And if that weren't enough against him,
he can NEVER re-enter anyone who is Born again, being sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise. On this planet earth, satan is "
bound" in figurative "chains of darkness", never to have the Light of God ever again.
So please close the door into your "fantasy land" understanding about the condition of
the unsaved dead being eternally alive. No man has ever been allowed to have the permanent indwelling of God's Holy Spirit, until AFTER Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb of God FOR ALL of humanity!
Then learn that satan and 1/3 of the fallen angels have still been very operative with satan, all over this planet, for the past 2026 years.
Don't you yet understand how it is that Satan is
bound from heaven, and from everyone who has been
secured by heaven?
The "binding" of satan has nothing to do with the unrepenting world of the unsaved, who are "open season" targets for his corruption. But it is for every person who
chooses to come to repentance and
accept Jesus as their personal Savior. In that day of their decision, Satan is booted out of that person's physical body, and is "bound" from ever re-entering into them again!
Maybe, if you read/study by the Holy Spirit's teaching of Mat. 12:43-45; Mark 3:27 and Luke 11:24-26, you might gain more of a spiritual understanding instead a religious one by "the wisdom of men" in church-ianity.
