Bound!

 
 

Isaiah describes beautifully the millenium and Lucifer's demise. Lucifer is so self absorbed. How many times in this passage does he refer to himself. I know some people who have the same problem. In other scripture passages, it says that Lucifer will be 'bound'. I picture shackles and a maximum security prison where Lucifer will be kept.

However, I have heard scriptorians say that Satan won't actually be bound. He will be bound by the righteous because they will be so spiritual at this time, that his 'binding' will be because he will be completely ineffectual in their lives. No temptations, no voices in our heads, no desire to do evil, no compulsions or obsessions. I can't wait.


"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thy heart; "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and shall consider thee, and shall say: Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms? And made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners?

Thou art cast out of the grave like an abominable branch, and the remnant of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land and slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall never be renowed." 2 Nephi 24:12-20 compare Isaiah 14
