I beleive one of the most miscontrued verses in revelation are
The word "Satan" means Enemy or Advarssary. Not every word of Satan is reffering to the being that Tempted Jesus.
In Revelation a beast stands out "having seven heads and ten horns" mentioned by daniel and by John on several occassions.
Now Daniel's Dragon of seven head and ten horns by most theologians and accepted by most christians as "the last Empire"
" and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (Dan. 7:7)
John describes a beast having seven heads and ten horns (Rev. 12,13,17)
so the descriptions of these beast are the same. So in context of the descriptions then "Satan and the devil" is referring to the "Seventh Empire".
John is not being literal in his descriptions and neither is Daniel. We did not see the beast he describes when it refered to Rome, Macedonia, Persia and Babylon.
They were symbols, symbolic. That is what John is doing to the Seventh Empire, being symbolic. The empire will lie, will cheat, will be an enemy of the Church and the Jews.
Satan being bound for 1000 years is not talking about the being who tempted Jesus, but the empire, or the spirit of the empire, for it will be released yet again.
As I have said and believe, the seventh empire is the Ottoman Empire and that the empire is bound for this time period and it will be released again (Gog and Magog) which, I know a few will disagree, but the ancient locations of them are in present day turkey.
Turkey (Asia Minor) plays a vital role in the last 2000 years of history. Johns Churches are located in Turkey. The Byzantine Empire was centered in Turkey. The Ottoman Empire was centered in Turkey. Gog and magog ancient homeland is in Turkey.
So in some point in history the Ottoman Empire will be reformed and attack Israel and the King of the North (Eze. 38 and 39 and Dan. 11:40ff).
I am convinced by the description of the "Satan" that it is the seventh Empire (Ottoman Empire).
Rev. 12:9 said:And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 20:2 said:And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years
