Most theologians I have read say that we should always take the literal approach unless the text & context tells us different.

In Psalm 105:8 & Psalm 50:10, it should be quite obvious that it was not meant to be taken literally.

Rev 20:2 of course is not so obvious however. I am interested in what clues in the text & context you see that shows the reader what way 1000 years is to be taken.
