Q&A: Satan's final judgment — is Satan already in the lake of fire because of the cross?

Mike says no — Satan's consignment to the lake of fire is still future, occurring after the tribulation and the Millennium, at the final judgment (Revelation 20). Evidence: In Revelation 2, Jesus refers to Pergamum as the location of 'Satan's throne' — a post-cross reference to ongoing Satanic activity. In Luke 22, Jesus says Satan 'asked to sift Peter as wheat' — present tense, post-cross. The preterist position that Satan is already in the lake of fire is held by some but not all preterists and is a minority view. Mike affirms a sequential eschatology: cross → current age → tribulation → Millennium → final judgment → lake of fire.
