For how many years will Satan be bound?

For how many years will Satan be bound?

• A. Forever
• B. 7 years
• C. 1,000 years
• D. 100 years

Answer: (C)

Satan’s binding duration is described in Revelation 20 as lasting one thousand years. In the vision, an angel binds him and casts him into the abyss so he cannot deceive the nations until the thousand years are completed. During this time, Christ reigns with his saints. After the thousand years, Satan is released briefly, then comes the final judgment. The text states a concrete thousand-year period and a subsequent release, so the duration is not forever. Other numbers do not fit the passage, which explicitly names a thousand years.
