Tell us of if we have misrepresented anything

Satan bound: Rev 20:1-3

A. Symbols of the section:

1. Key of the abyss: divine authority over Satan: cf 9:1; 11:7; 17:8
2. Abyss is literally a bottomless pit; literally impossible thus a symbol
3. Great chain: power to control and restrain: Mk 5:4; Acts 12:7; 28:20
4. The devil is called what four things in V2? see also 12:9
5. In scripture, 1000 is always used symbolically of a predetermined time that God chooses
   • Deut 7:9
   • Job 9:3
   • Ps 33:23; 50:10; 90:4; 105:8
   • Eccl 6:6; 7:28
   • Dan 7:10
   • 2 Pe 3:8

B. Are the numbers of Revelation literal or symbolic?
