Step still to come (one reading among others)

Satan bound for a thousand years (Rev 20:1-3)

An angel chains the dragon and throws it into the abyss, which he shuts with the key (Rev 20:1-3), artist’s impression by Albrecht Dürer (1498). An announced scene, not one that has happened.

Main objection (in French for now)

Trois lectures, que le modèle ne tranche pas. Prémillénariste : la vision suit Ap 19:11-21 (« Puis je vis », Ap 20:1) et décrit une période future, après la venue visible. Amillénariste : Ap 20 revient en arrière et décrit l’âge présent, Satan étant « lié » depuis la première venue — Mt 12:29 emploie le même verbe δέω pour « lier l’homme fort », et Jn 12:31 annonce que « le prince de ce monde sera jeté dehors ». Postmillénariste : période avant la venue, marquée par l’extension de l’Évangile.

The text (World English Bible)

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.

Rev 20:1-3
