2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devil and Satan,(a)(A) and bound(B) him for 1,000 years. 3 He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it(C) so that he would no longer deceive the nations(D) until the 1,000 years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.
