Revelation 20:2

Satan Bound For A Thousand Years

¹ Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the pit and a huge chain in his hand. ² And he took hold of the dragon, that old snake, who is the devil or Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. ³ He threw him into the pit, and closed it and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that time, he must be released for a short while.
