Satan will be bound in a bottomless pit for 1000 years.

Do you think there are no chains of darkness, but only here?
Satan isn't bound by literal locks, chains, and keys, it's 100% symbolism, he is bound by the 6th vial seen in Revelation 16:12 below

Satan is spiritually bound from "Deceiving The Nations To Battle" and specifically that only


Satan is "Currently" bound from "One Specific Purpose", And One Only?

"Deceive The Nations" To Battle

The Non-Literal 1,000 Years (Revelation) 20:1-6 Are Taking Place Now In The Lords Spiritual, And Will Cease At The Future Second Coming

If A Tribulation Saint Were To Die One Day Before The Second Coming, He Enters Into The Non-Literal 1,000 Year Reign

Many That Promote Millennialism Falsely Teach, Satan Cant Be Presently Bound Because Evil Exist In The World?

Satan Is Presently Bound As Is Clearly Seen In (Revelation) 20:7-8 Below That Interprets (Deceive The Nations) Is To Battle, Not General Evil In The World Presently.

Satan Is Loosed At The End Of The Tribulation When The 6th Vial Is Poured Out As Seen In (Revelation) 16:12, The Deception Is Devils In False Miracles Going Forth To The Kings Of The Earth, To Gather Them To The Final Battle

(Revelation) 20:1-9KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
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.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
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.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

(Revelation) 16:12-14 & (Revelation) 20:7-8 Same Deception In Gathering The Nations To The Very Same Final Battle In "Parallel" Teachings Of The Same Event

(Revelation) 16:12-17KJV
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

Only preterists suggest the book of Rev is a lie(metaphor).
I could say the same about those teaching Satan is bound by a literal, lock, key, and chain, in Revelation 20:1

I see, so the angel does not have a great chain in his hand?

The book or Rev is a lie?

But that is what you are doing... is it not?
Symbolism is a form of metaphor.
Using one thing to represent another sounds a bit metaphorical.
Symbolism is a sign.

A metaphor is a form of lying.

Do you think a 15 mph warning sign of a cliff is a metaphor or a sign of impending doom?

The book or Rev is 99% literal with a few signs to further explain things.

The beast in Revelation has 7 heads and 10 horns in the spiritual realm in John's vision, does that mean there will be a literal "Beast" on this earth with 7 heads and 10 horns "No"

The heads and horns were symbolic metaphor that were interpreted into literal figures and events that take place on earth

Wow!
No symbolism is not a sign as your illustration poorly presents.
A symbol is something that stands for something else.

symbol
sĭm′bəl
noun

  1. Something that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention, especially a material object used to represent something invisible.


Something that says it is something else is lying. or at least mis-representing itself.
You appear to be confusing "a sign" and "being a sign".

Does Rev 1 say the book is SIGNified or metaphorized?

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John

The heads and horns were symbolic metaphor that were interpreted into literal events that take place on earth
It was a sign.

A metaphor is something completely unrelated.

Sinners think the Bible is a lie because CHRISTIAINS teach them it is a metaphoric book, which means a lying book.

So stop teaching that it is full of symbols and metaphors.
So stop teaching there is no symbols and metaphor

It appears that you don't like opposition to your teaching and belief, no constitutional first amendment for those that oppose you

Jesus Is The Lord

If satan has been bound, has God started the wars resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths in the last 2000 years?

Or, is man loosed and satan bound?

LOL

We are on the verge of Armigeddon.
I Disagree, there will be 3.5 years of the antichrist in Jerusalem and two witnesses bringing literal plagues upon this earth first, it won't be a secret to those sealed by God the Holy Spirit
