“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,”
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years - Satan, identified by his accumulated titles (dragon, ancient serpent, devil, Satan), is bound for a millennium. The thousand years represents a long but limited period; Satan's binding is not eternal but temporal.
