Satan Bound 1,000 Years

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ahaving the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  
2 He laid hold of athe dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;  
3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and aset a seal on him, bso that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.  

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

4 And I saw athrones, and they sat on them, and bjudgment was committed to them. Then I saw cthe souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, dwho had not worshiped the beast eor his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they flived and greigned with Christ for a thousand years.  
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such athe second death has no power, but they shall be bpriests of God and of Christ, cand shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Revelation 20:2

Revelation 20:1 The Millennium SUMMARY OF REVELATION 20: Satan Bound for a Thousand Years. Thrones and Saints Reigning with Christ. The First Resurrection. Satan Loosed at the End of a Thousand Years. The Gathering of Gog and Magog and of the Nations. Their Attack Upon the Saints. Their Destruction. The Devil Cast into the Lake of Fire. The Great Judgment. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit. "Having the key of the abyss" (Revised Version). The abyss is named in Revelation 9:1 11:7 17:8. It is the present abode of Satan and his evil spirits. The things seen by John are symbolical. They imply that in some way the power of Satan shall be virtually destroyed upon the earth. And a great chain in his hand. See PNT "Re 20:2".
