What kind of place is Satan bound in during the thousand years?
During the thousand years, Satan is bound in a special place that is not hell or the lake of fire. Scripture describes it as a pit of some kind where he is shut up and sealed, so he cannot deceive the nations until the thousand years are fulfilled.
Les explains that this angel will cast Satan bound into a special place. It is not hell, and it is not the lake of fire, but it is a pit of some kind. There Satan is shut up and sealed so that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled. Les also emphasizes how repeatedly Scripture brings out this thousand years to show that Christ’s Kingdom rule and reign will be a thousand years. After that period, Satan is going to be released.
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
