Greetings!
Recently I have been looking into the doctrine of amillennialism. I understand that it means that the millennium of Christ's reign is symbolic and began with the Death and Resurrection of Christ. Currently, I subscribe to Puritan Postmillennialism, but this does not mean I am not considering amillennialism. With this, I have some questions on amillennialism that I will look at the answers to with intent.
Question 1: If Satan is bound (Revelation 20) then how is he still affecting the Church (1 Thessalonians 2:18)?
Question 2a: Does the Thousand Years represent the entire New Testament period as a whole?
Question 2b (if A was 'yes'): In Revelation 20, the thousand years end before Christ's second coming. How can the millennium represent the entire period?
Question 3: Satan's bondage will be reversed for a time; therefore what was done to bond Satan is reversible. It cannot be Christ's accomplishment on the cross because that is irreversible. So then what was it that bonded Satan?
