Chapter 20 is full of visions | "then I saw" (5x)
Revelation 20:1 says, "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain."
Once again we see that angels play a major role in the Plan of God
This particular Angel has been given great authority
Abyss or Bottomless Pit = Same (Abusos)
Abyss = 9x in the Bible
8x in Revelation
1x in Luke
Luke 8:31 demon named Legion begs Jesus not be cast into the Abyss because that's where the really bad demons are

2 Peter 2:4
Notice the Angel is the boss here, not Satan

Isaiah 65:19-25 says, "I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. 20 “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred will be considered accursed. 21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. 24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, "says the Lord.
