Reformed theology typically adopts an amillennial interpretation of Revelation 20:1-6. Rather than a literal thousand-year kingdom on earth, the passage describes the entire church age in symbolic terms. The binding of Satan signifies his limitation in preventing the gospel's advance, not his total incapacitation. Satan remains active but restrained from completely defeating God's purposes.

The 'first resurrection' is understood as spiritual resurrection—the new birth of believers into God's kingdom, or the vindication of martyrs. The 'thousand years' represents the duration from Christ's ascension to his return. This amillennial reading integrates Revelation 20 into the Reformed understanding of realized and inaugurated eschatology: Christ reigns now; believers participate in his victory; history moves toward consummation at his return.
