146There was an angel coming down from heaven and I [John] saw a large chain in his hand and the key to the bottomless pit.

       He grabbed the dragon, that old snake, which is the devil and satan and bound him with the large chain for one thousand years. He threw him into the bottomless pit.

            He locked him up so he could not deceive the nations again until the thousand years was ended.

But after that he will be released for a short time.
