What kind of chain will be used to bind Satan?
The chain is described as a great chain in the angel’s hand, but it is not necessarily an iron chain. It will be some sort of material that God knows will confine even a spirit being such as Satan, binding him for a thousand years.
Les explains that the great chain in the angel’s hand does not necessarily mean an iron chain for confining a spirit being like Satan. Instead, it will be some sort of material God knows will confine even a spirit being such as Satan. The passage says an angel comes down from heaven with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand, then lays hold on the dragon, that old serpent, the devil, Satan, and binds him a thousand years. Les takes this literally, believing Satan will be confined for that thousand-year period.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
