What was Satan's status before the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ?
He continued to have access to the throne room of God (Job 1-2; Zechariah 3:1-5), and he had moved in to replace Adam when Adam sinned (Luke 4:6; 2 Corinthians 4:4).
What happens when Satan is cast out of heaven?
The Bailiff removes him from the Court because he no longer has standing there and an eviction notice is served on his occupying property that never belonged to him (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:1-9; 20:1-3).
He is progressively bound as the Kingdom expands. This may be understood as his being put into the Abyss, where some other fallen angels are (Luke 8:31; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6, 13-15, reference to the book of Enoch; Job 38:7).
What happens shortly before the return of Christ?
He is released from the Abyss and rages against the people of God (Revelation 12:13-17; 6:12-17; 16:12-21; 20:7-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).
