on Earth, could this be why, with all the natural disasters and weather problems, the Muslims are on the rise. Could they actually be unwitting tools of Satan, soon to be controlled by the Anti-Christ to come?

You are mistaken here brother. Satan's rule will only be three and half years (time, times and the divideing of time; forty two months; 1260days) as saith the Bible.
The 1000 years mentioned is when Satan will be bound and not reigning. He will be bound by a chain of circumstances as there will be noone to tempt and use as only the holy saints of God will be on earth with Jesus for the millenium.
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and .....
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

First of all, according to Scripture there is no such thing as Satan's One Thousand Year Reign. Satan has be "the god of this world" since the fall of Adam and Eve.
Secondly, the natural disasters and the rise of nations that will turn on Israel in an all out holy war is definitely signs of the coming of the end. But, we must realize that natural disasters have again been around since sin entered the world. The intensity and frequency of these events are a result of the "earth groaning" waiting for its redemption (Romans 8).
The Anti-Christ will bring temporary peace in the middle of this hostility which will win the world over. Following this, literally, all hell will break loose. After 7 years, Christ will then regin for a 1000 years on earth until Satan is completely bound for eternity.

Satan will be abyss-ed for 1000 years, not have a 1000 year reign.
Rev. 20:2 &3 "And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a 1000 years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the 1000 years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while."
Satan has been casted down to the earth which is the cause for many of the world problems, because he knows his time is short.
Rev 12:12 "On this account be glad you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."
As far a natural disaster, Satan may have some control, but mostly it is man ruining the earth. That's why at Rev. 11:18 says "....he will bring to ruin those ruining the earth."
Jesus will rule for 1000 years (the same 1000 years of Satans abyss) after Armaggedon, after the 1000 years and Satan has been destroyed, he then turns the kingdom back over to his father.
Read the whole chapter of Rev. 20 and 1 Cor 15:24-28.

I'm sorry you feel it is Satan's One Thousand Year reign.
Natural disasters and weather problems have always occurred.
There have always been wars, and Crime has been horrible.
It's not that things are getting worse, It's only that they appear to be. Take the Media for example: It's not very often that they run a story that is positive. Most of what they run comes from the dregs, the very worst of society. It's not that crime happens more frequently, or storms are any worse, you just know about a greater percentage of them. At the same time you are becoming more aware of the parts of society you were most likely protected from as a child.
The media reports mainly negative because that's what gets attention, that's what gets ratings. It is also beneficial for the government to keep the populace paralyzed with fear for the most part because that makes said populace easier to control. That in turn makes economics easier to control.
As long as you're concerned with whether or not Satan's been loosed from his prison, you're not concerned with how to fix the problems we have at hand which happen to make them a lot of money.
And take a look at all the good in life!! Love still exists and we are not persecuted for seeking the truth. That is hope in itself and a sign of social progress!! This is the first time in history that we have a World Health Organization. Millions of people dedicate their lives every day to the unselfish service of their fellow man. Parents do it all the time right at home. It's a shame the news doesn't report more of this!!
To paraphrase Christ:
What does it matter to a member of the kingdom of heaven if all things worldly crash? The citadel of the spirit is impregnable, even unassailable.
Fear not. Evil and inequity only have power over those who give power to those things.

20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
(King James Bible, Revelation)
The imaginary Satan has no position on earth. This paragraph clearly shows that the true Christians would live and reign with Christ a thousand years. The first 1000 years were over. This is the mentioning of 1000 years in His second advent. So now is the moment of true happiness for the true Christians, the people who truly do the Will of the One True God, and not those who disbelieve or those who merely pay lip service.

Okay, well your information is just a bit off. According to Scripture, we are in the generation of the fig tree - or better known as the end times. The thousand years I think you're referring to is when Christ returns, we go into the millinium, or a 1000 year period of teaching and disipline. At that time, Satan is locked away in a pit, and after the thousand years is up, Satan is released for a short while, only to see who will follow him and who will not (a final test) Those that follow Satan will also follow him into the lake of fire and be blotted out. The rest will live through the eternity. As far as certain events or even people being tools of Satan, sure , he uses whatever means he can to distract Gods people from their purpose. But remember that ultimately, God is in control. Yes, even of Satan. Satan was already condemned to death before Adam and Eve came on the scene, but God utilizes Satan to bring about the fruition of His plan. There will come a time when literally the masses will be deceived, thinking that Jesus has returned. Now, in the Bible, there are 7 trumps - Antichrist comes on the 6th trump, but Jesus comes at the 7th trump. All through the Word it states that antichrist will come FIRST before anybody is gathered back in any way to Jesus. Antichrist will come claiming to be Jesus, and will come in peacefully and prosperly - a chicken in every pot, no homeless, love, love, love. Only problem is, he is the fake. Since the masses of so-called Christians of today are biblically illiterate, most of them will be deceived, and will worship him. Obviously, they did not read the Bible. They listened to some preacher who said :"You don't have to read the Book of Revelation, you're gonna be raptured out before the bad stuff happens". But there is NO rapture in the Bible, so what does this mean? When Antichrist comes disguised as Jesus, all those people are gonna think Jesus has come to rapture them out. In the Bible where it says "two are working in the field, one is taken and the other left" - its unbelievable that folks actually want to be taken. They even wrote a book called "left behind". If they read the scripture, the subject and object of whats being discussed is the coming of Antichrist. WE WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND, BECAUSE THE ONE TAKEN IS TAKEN BY ANTICHRIST. I quess people can't read anymore? This is the great deceit of the end times, and Its discussed and we are warned of it over and over and over in Scripture. I tell you all this so to make you understand that, yes, I am sure their are people who are unwittingly (and some knowingly) tools of Satan, but that over and above all that, God is still very much in control. It is Gods decision that Antichrist come, it is His plan to weed out the true Christians from those who are playing church.

In John 5:28,29, Jesus tells us that there will be a resurrection of both the good and those to be judged. And in Rev. 20:5,6 speak of the others being resurrection (not those of the first resurrection). So Satan will be let loose to temp those who have been resurrected and grew into perfection. This will prove once and for all who will stay faithful to God and Christ.

What if I told you the 1000 years kingdom of God ended around 400 years ago and we currently in the era of you know who was released?
What if I told you Israel was already reestablished a very long time ago?
And the mass media spread the anti-gospel? Since they favoured bad news over good news.
