How do you chain an angel so he can't get away?

Here's a short one and will have a longer article tomorrow for certain:

God asks Job, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding."

"Where was Job when God laid the foundations of the earth? he didn't exist; man didn't exist then.

"God asks, [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? [6] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 

"This is talking about when God constructed the earth in the universe. By the way, you see how He says in verse 6 'whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened'? 

"Job knew the answer to that one. Job 26:7: [7] He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

"Did you know that scientists didn't know that until the 1800s? All the great minds of the universe all thought that the earth was 'resting on the back of Atlas who's standing on top of a turtle swimming in the sea.' Some primordial, universal sludge. That's the brains of the universe, you know. The bright people, is what they thought.

"Job is the oldest book in the Bible; in fact, that's the oldest book anybody knows about anywhere. You're 15-1,600 years before Christ. The first book in the Bible and God tells you something about the structure of the heavens.

"You don't have to be afraid of just letting the Bible be what it is. I'm looking for a structure and I got a verse that tells me it's going to be like a tabernacle. A tent. It says it's going to have sides to it and they are going to be like a curtain. But it's a special kind of a thing.

"In Genesis He talked about 'darkness is upon the face of the deep.' This deep here, by the way, is a container and what's in it is water.

[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

"One of those plagues in Egypt was darkness. When God put Abraham to sleep in Genesis 15, in order to cut the covenant with him, Abraham experienced what the text calls 'the horror of great darkness.' Abraham literally experienced what it is to be under the control of satanic authority. Well, God does that with Egypt.

Exodus 10:21: [20] But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

[21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

"When you've got darkness that you can feel, that's pretty thick darkness. I showed you those verses about 'the day of the Lord' being a day of thick darkness.

"What God was doing in Egypt was demonstrating the satanic authority over that nation.

[22] And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

"That's why in the Book of Jude it says these angels that sinned are being held in chains of darkness for the day of judgment. How do you chain an angel up so he can't get away? You put him in absolute, complete darkness.

[23] They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

"Do you think that meant they had Bic lighters or Eveready flashlights? No, the light that was in their dwellings was the light of the glory of God. It was a special light. God put it there. God's glory was engulfed by that darkness, but in Israel His glory was there.

"That's what God does in Genesis 1. He comes down into that darkness and turns on the light. 

Job 38:4: [4] Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

"Notice the terminology here. Everything God describes is the terminology of a building contractor."
