### What does the angel do to Satan? ### What does the angel do to Satan?
[20:2]
John wrote about an angel putting Satan into a type of prison. That is, Satan will be separated from people.

Satan will be in this prison for 1000 years. He will not be in this prison forever. John wrote about an angel putting Satan into a type of prison. That is, Satan will be separated from people.
