It is commonly recognized that the "strong man" in the following verse is Satan:
Mk. 3:27: “But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house" (cf. Matt. 12:29, emphasis added).
How, then, is the following passage in the Book of Revelation regarding Satan also being bound not essentially equivalent to Mark 3:27 / Matthew 12:29?
Revelation 20:2: "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years" (emphasis added).
Since Satan still has authority over death (of the lost), might these passages refer to the binding of his authority over the death of the saints?
