The power of sin “…who will bind the dragon or sin-power for a thousand years”. The Christadelphian : Volume , p.360

The power of sin The first part of the work is to restrain sin, apocalyptically styled binding the Dragon, the Old Serpent; who is designated also by the words diabolos and satanas; the former being rendered devil, and the latter left untranslated. The Christadelphian : Volume 10, 2001, p.485

We see from these hints that diabolos, or ‘that having the power of death,’ appears in divers parts of Scripture in a sort of personal manifestation. The personality, however, is not that of a single individual; but the personification of a power in man, and in society antagonist to God and His people.. The Christadelphian : Volume p.486.
