I suppose you are going for “at the end of the thousand years” in Apocalypse 20?

There are two readings of Apocalypse 20, and you, as I, agree that “the thousand years” are not a thing that will begin after Harmageddon, but a thing that began AD 33, meaning that one way of seeing it as exact would place the end of this timespan in 1033.

First of all, I think the thousand years may be exact or round rather than merely symbolic, even if not ending near AD 1033.

Second, I tend to think that “at the end of the thousand years” for the loosing of Satan does not mean when all the 1000 years are up, but close to that point, in the preceding decades.

But suppose you read it as when all of them were up in reference to an end in 1033, one could feature the Norman — Byzantine conflict over Sicily as showing this event. It led up to the schism in 1054 and therefore to lots of other troubles. One could also take when most were up in that reference as the founding of the Bogumil sect, another source of troubles to this day.

For my part, I think another meaning even with an exact one thousand years is possible.

St. Peter has been reigning in heaven for 1955 years. St. Thérèse Martin has been reigning in heaven for 126 years. The medium of these two reigns in heaven is 1040 years and a half. The “all years up” would be when the medium rule with Christ has come to 1000 years for ALL the saints. Since we don’t know the exact number of saints per different decades or centuries, this means we can’t tell when they are up. But it might tend to be already close. And the losing of Satan at the end of the thousand years (i e near the end, not when all things are up) could very well coincide with the taking away of “ho katekhon” as the Roman Emperor, in 1918. LOTS of things have gone MUCH MORE wrong since then, than back since Bogumils or the schism of 1054.

So, I don’t think it did happen 1000 years ago. Nor that the prophecy failed.

PS, in verse 2 of the chapter, either my reading is not relevant, it is a symbolic number, or “the thousand years” = from the medium perspective of saints in heaven (in relation to anyone there, Satan is indeed totally bound and can do nothing).
