Why Must Satan be Released?

The hope of Christians—and the essence of the gospel message—is that Jesus Christ will return to establish His Kingdom on earth. As a test for the nations in the four corners of the earth, God releases Satan so those who are inclined to listen to him can be separated from those who listen to God, as chaff is separated from wheat. At this point, everyone who has ever lived will have the chance to be affected by Satan’s rule and forced to make a choice.
