A. The Bound (Rev 20:1-2)
1 Peter 5:8 – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

CONCLUSION
If we believe these truths, they should produce:
1. Anticipation — Matthew 24:44.
2. Evangelism — urgency to reach others.
3. Examination — 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves…”
