Satan Loosed

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison...” (Revelation 20:7)

“I saw Satan loosed” is an Eastern way of saying, “I saw evils prevailing.”  “Satan tied up or chained” means that evil has been conquered and truth established.  The chain is symbolical of truth and power, which restrains deception and violence.
