Satan is loosed "a little season," little as compared with the thousand years of Messiah's reign; or rather, as compared with the 1260 years of the dragon's successful enterprises against the saints through the beast and false prophet as agents. These being now cast into the lake of fire, Satan is for ever deprived of their agency.

The dragon, the first link in this chain of prophecy, was a relentless persecutor of the church of God.
