Please address what I said and try and rebut it, instead of going off on your usual rabbit trails. Again, zero evidence and ongoing avoidance. That is your pattern. This is not right. The Scripture you present makes no mention of Jerusalem, you force it into the text to support your mistaken beliefs.
Revelation 12 places the defeat of Satan at the resurrection / ascension: "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
Here, in correlation with Revelation 20, we see the end of Satan unchallenged deceiving of the Gentiles. John declares: "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ." How?
Previous to Satan's eviction, God was Israel's God, not the Gentiles God. Satan ruled the nations. But through this casting out of Satan, after man's penalty had been paid in full, he no longer had anything to accuse the elect over. It was indeed finished! The powerful spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles lifting the deception that kept them bound. Satan was now bound. The boot was on the other foot. With the global expanse of the great commission the Gentiles now are without excuse. The ignorance is gone. The veil is lifted. The means by which God lifts deception is the preaching of the Word of God. This has now been successfully ongoing throughout the nations for 2000 years.
Satan's defeat came after the resurrection. Here is when he got his eviction notice, and here is "when" salvation came to the "whole world" - not just one nation Israel. The deception enveloping the Gentiles was lifted - praise God. They are now without excuse, just like those in the OT that rejected salvation. Salvation has now come to the nations. But Satan had to first be cast down. He had to be defeated. Christ’s life, death and resurrection safely secured that. As a result the Church becomes a militant overcoming organism.
Christ’s death, burial and resurrection was the decisive blow against Satan. His defeat has already been wrought. This passage plainly shows the powerful result of Calvary and the deep impact it had upon Satan. It shows us that Satan is now under Christ’s feet and is now subject to His Sovereign will. Satan and his minions are barred from heaven. They have been banished after they were defeated 2,000 years ago.
Christ predicted shortly before He destroyed the power of Satan at the cross, in John 12:30-33: “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”

There is no correlation between 12 and 20, period. 12 does not once mention a rule of Christ of any length. Are you removing these words from Revelation 20 so you can cram it into your death, burial, and resurrection, that is not mentioned in either 12 or 20:
"and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
Where in 12 are there thrones and judgment and a resurrection?
In 12 the woman (Israel) escapes from Satan on earth twice. You claim Revelation 20 is not physically on earth at all. You claim if they rule and reign with Christ it
cannot be on earth.
If you apply Salvation to the binding of Satan, your are negating the Cross as the Atonement, and the power of the death, burial, and resurrection. How can you equate the two on equal footing? The only reason this claim is made is to deny the Lord's Day happens at the Second Coming. How can events in 2021AD even relate to events in 30AD?
The power to defeat Satan was from God and a separate thought process from the Atonement on the Cross. Even under the Law one could resist Satan and cast out demons.
"And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges."
I will defer to Jesus' own Words and let the fact that even under the law, they will be the judge, and prove the Advent of Christ was not a drastic change of binding Satan and casting out devils.
There are many verses in the OT where spirits were sent by and removed from people by God Himself. How much more was Satan on earth giving God's people a challenge even in the OT.
What changed is the Law and Atonement. God's power did not change. Revelation is not about capturing Satan in the first century and binding him, and Revelation 12 never shows Satan bound once throughout history. The point of Satan being cast out and his angels one last time is because in the 5th Trumpet, they were unlocked from the pit and free to go all over creation. No angels nor demons following Satan are mentioned at all in Revelation 20.
Taking quotes from Jesus does not prove 12 and 20 corroborate each other.
The only word in common is "bound" in your post. The church has the power to bind. Yet that power has nothing whatsoever to do with either chapter 12 or 20. There is no binding in chapter 12. An angel binds Satan in Revelation 20, and only after Satan is defeated at Armageddon.
You also are placing once again the 7 Trumpets in the first century. Full Preterism.
Yes the Cross was a huge blow to Satan. It was not when He and his angels were cast out of heaven once and for all. Revelation 12:6 is when the first century stopped.
"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
From verse 7 on is during the 7th Trumpet. The 7th Trumpet ends at Armageddon, and the Lord's Day begins. The 7th Trumpet was not in the first century. The Lord's Day did not start in the first century. Satan bound at Armageddon did not happen in the first century. Even if symbolic, Satan is not bound until the end of time, not in the first century. All this overcoming is not complete until time is up. Time is not up until the days of the sound of the 7th Trumpet.
If you claim all of Revelation 12 is in the first century, all I can say is full preterism. That would put Revelation 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in the first century. You already claim Revelation 20 is the first century, up to a point. 42 months has to mean something, and not stretched out for 1991 years and counting. The 7th Trumpet sounded in Chapter 11. No where is it even found sounding after that. It cannot stop though until all is complete at Armageddon. Including the casting of the FP and the beast into the lake of fire, and binding Satan in the pit.
