And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Christ Himself is the Angel who binds Satan with chain and key, for none but He has power over the strong man armed. The dragon's strength and subtlety cannot save him from Christ's hands; cast down to his prison with just vengeance, he is shut up and stripped of his old liberty to disturb the churches and deceive the nations.

Commenting on Revelation 20:1-10
Satan deceived mankind before and after death, and now receives his full torment in the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet already dwell, all three companions in wickedness tormented day and night forever. This proves the eternity of hell torments, the same sentence that falls on all whose minds are enmity to God and Christ.
AI summary
Satan, unlike the beast and false prophet cast into the lake at once, was held in the abyss for a season; now all three great enemies of God share the same doom together. With no hostile force remaining to array against the kingdom, the gospel triumphs and the way is prepared for final consummation.
