I would agree that it does not prove the traditional Amil position.
Although, to be clear, I don't hold to the traditional Amil position, that the 1,000 years is symbolic is the time between the 1st and 2nd advent.
1.) I definitely believe Satan was bound at Christ's 1st advent, otherwise, Jesus would not have been casting out demons.
Matthew 12:22-29 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first binds the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
2.) Jesus destroyed the works of the devil at his 1st advent. I relate this to the binding
Hebrews 2:14-15 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things,
that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery
1 John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil
3.) Through Christ, the righteous standards of God are met in us. I relate this to the binding.
Romans 8:3-4 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.
c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
4) And because of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father, Satan, the accuser, was cast out. I relate this to the binding.
John 12:31-32 Now judgment is upon this world;
now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
5.) Therefore, Satan can no longer accuse us because the righteous requirements of God are now met in us through Christ. I relate this to the binding.
Romans 8:33-34
Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
Revelation 12:10 For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down—
he who accuses them day and night before our God. They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
HOWEVER, the NT is also clear that after being cast out at Christ's ascension, Satan was prowling, persecuting, deceiving, and hindering the Church through his servants.
John 14:30 I will not speak with you much longer,
for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me
Ephesians 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of t
he ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
1 thessalonians 2:16-18
by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!
But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face, because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—
but Satan hindered us.
Revelation 2:13 “‘
I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
1 John 2:18-19 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,
so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us
1 peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert.
Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour
I believe the 1,000 years was used in the parable, given to John in Revelation 20, to represent the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant, for it was 1,000 years between the time of David, the type/shadow, and Christ, the anti type/reality. According to Peter, it is through the Resurrection that that God fulfilled the promise to David that his descendant would sit on the Throne.
Acts 2:30-31 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath
that He would place one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
IMHO, the millennium is not a time span between 2 points, but parabolically points to the fulfillment of Davidic Covenant through Christ's ministry, death, FIRST resurrection, ascension, and casting out/binding of satan. Those that partake in this FIRST resurrection, overcome the accuser and the world, are no longer hurt by the 2nd death, and are a kingdom of priests to God. This is found fulfilled in the gospel and epistolic narrative for those who are in Christ. Therefore, I interpret this parable in revelation through the lens of the Gospels and Epistles, and not the other way around.
It is when 1,000 years are fulfilled that satan is released to deceive the nations.
Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are complete, Satan will be released from his prison
According to the Gospel and Epistolic narrative, it is at the fulfillment of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension that Satan is cast out to persecute, prowl, deceive, and hinder the Church, whose hope was that satan was to be soon crushed under their feet.
John 12:31-32 Now judgment is upon this world;
now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
John 14:30 I will not speak with you much longer,
for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me
Romans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
In post 983, you stated the 2nd death only takes place after satan's destruction :
"Take note that the second death only takes place after the destruction of Satan in the lake of fire"
Revelation is a symbolic book and it tells us that the lake of fire IS the 2nd death.
Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Therefore, if Revelation 20 Chronologically comes after Revelation 19:11-21, then the 2nd death does not only occur at the after the destruction of Satan, as you stated, but also occurs prior to the destruction of satan, at the destruction of the beast and false prophet.
However, Amils typically agree with your statement in post 983, and view the destruction of the beast and false prophet in revelation 19 as parallel to that of the satan in revelation 20
