Satan Bound for 1,000 years, Koran
And We had created you, then We pictured/formed you, then We said to the angels: “Prostrate to Adam.” So they prostrated except Satan, was not from the prostrating. He (Allah) said: “What prevented/stopped/forbid you, that you not prostrate when/if I ordered/commanded you?” He (the devil) said: “I am better than him, You created me from fire, and You created him from mud/clay.” He (Allah) said: “So drop/reduce/decline from it, so (it) was not to be for you that you be arrogant in it, so get out/emerge, that you are from the subservient/humiliated/lowly.” He (the devil) said: “Give me time/delay me to a day they be sent/resurrected/revived.” He (Allah) said: “That you are from the given time/delayed.” He (the devil) said: “So with what you misguided/enticed me, I will sit/remain for them (in) Your straight/direct road/way.” “Then I will come to them from between their hands, and from behind them, and from/of/on their rights, and from/of/on their lefts, and You (will) not find most of them thankful/grateful.” He (Allah) said: “Get out/emerge from it expelled/degraded, expelled/driven away, whom followed you from them, I will fill Hell from you all/all together.” (7:11-18 )
He said: “You Satan, what prevented/prohibited you that you prostrate to what I created with My hands, did you become arrogant, or you were from the high and mighty?” He said: “I am better than him, You created me from fire and You created him from mud/clay.” He said: “So get out/emerge from it, so that you are cursed/expelled.” “And that on you (is) My curse/torture/expulsion to the Judgment Day/Resurrection Day.” He said: “My Lord so give me time/delay me to a day/time they be sent/resurrected/revived.” He said: “So that you are from the given time/delayed.” “To day/time (of) the time, the known.” He said: “So with Your glory/might, I will misguide/lure them all/all together.” "Except Your worshippers/slaves from them, the faithful/devoted. He said: “So the truth and the truth I say:” “I will fill Hell from you and from who followed you from them all/all together.” (38:75-85)
And the mountains were made to move, so it was/became a mirage. That truly Hell was/is an observatory/ambuscade. For the tyrants a return. Remaining/waiting in it long periods of time/centuries. They do not taste/experience in it cold/cool and nor a drink. Except hot water/sweat and decayed/rotten. (78:20-25)
Satan Bound for 1,000 years, Book of Revelation
And he laid hold of the dragon, the old serpent who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and threw him into the abyss, and shut him up, and sealed over him, that he should not still lead astray the nations, until the thousand years are fulfilled. And after these things, he must be set loose a little time. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them. And judgment was given to them, and the souls of the ones having been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus, and because of the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast nor its image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years. And whenever the thousand years are ended, Satan will be set loose out of his prison, and he will go to mislead the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them in war, whose number is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the land and encircled the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And fire from God came down out of Heaven and burned them down. And the Devil leading them astray was thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. And they were tormented day and night to the ages of the ages. (Rev 20:2-10)
