Amillennialists probably have the most solid case for their interpretation of Revelation 20.

Most assuredly. While I lean to the Amillennial senario, the Premillenial and Postmillenial senarios do have some things to offer for consideration. But overall, the exegesis of Amillennialism seems the best. The 1,000 years of Revelation 20 seems to be relied upon by Pre and Post Millennial theories more than its worth. For one thing, the Greek of Revelation 20 doesn't use the term for a single, solitary 1,000 year senario, but for an unknown time. The term 1,000 in Revelation is a plural adjective, not a singular term. It, according to many Greek Scholars, should have been rendered "thousands" of years, not "a", "the", or "one". But "tradition" on this came early, and is so held to by many translators, even though they know it is a plural term. Sort of sad, to say the least.
