For nearly two thousand years, Christians have debated the meaning of one of the most mysterious chapters in the Bible: Revelation chapter 20. What is the “thousand years”? When is Satan bound?

Partial preterists differ from full preterists in that they do not say everything in the Bible has already been fulfilled.
