Binding the Beast

Binding the Beast
An angel, holding the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain, binds the beast, or devil, in preparation for sealing him into the pit for 1,000 years. This illustration of the scene from Revelation 20:1-8 is taken from Protestant reformer Martin Luther’s 16th-century translation of the Bible into German.
