My position is that Satan is presently bound...he was bound at The Cross.
As evidence of my position, here are some examples of scriptural verbs employed demarking Satan being presently bound:
• People of God have been guarded ‘tērei’ (completed action). 1 John 5.18
• The Evil One does not touch ‘haptetai’ God’s people (present tense). 1 John 5.18
• Jesus rendered The Devil entirely idle ‘katargēsē’ (completed action) at His death upon The Cross. Heb 2.14
• Jesus has taken The Adversary out of the way ‘ērken’ (completed action) and nailed ‘prosēlōsas’ (completed action) him to The Cross. Col 2.14
• Jesus stripped The Devil of authority ‘apekdysamenos’ (completed action) and separated him from his demons, at The Cross. Col 2.15
• The Devil was exposed in disgrace ‘edeigmatisen’ (completed action) and was led as a prisoner in a triumphant procession ‘thriambeusas’ (completed action) Col 2.15
• The Lawless One is bound now ‘katechon’ (present tense), but will be revealed ‘apokalyphthēsetai’ (future action) 2 Thes 2.6 – 8
