Temporarily Freed.

More than 10,000 prisoners are released from U.S. state and federal prisons each week; sadly, about two-thirds will be rearrested within three years of release.
When the devil is finally released from his prison, he won’t be trying to find work, a home, or help from the community. He was not locked up in a blockhouse. His imprisonment began with the death of the wicked. Satan’s thousand years of solitude came from having nowhere else to go and no one else on which to practice his deceptive tactics.
But all of that will change at the end of the thousand years when he is released from prison. The wicked will be raised back to life at the second resurrection. Unlike the righteous, who are raised from the grave and put on “immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:53) and for whom “Death is swallowed up in victory” (v. 54), the wicked are raised in corrupted bodies.
Now Satan can once more carry out his wicked plan to incite hatred against God and His law. He can once again draw the rebellious together to fight against heaven. It’s his last effort to stand in the place of God. For thousands of years, the devil has led humans to turn away from the source of life. He has tempted them to distrust God and question His character. He has presented the law of God as unreasonable, as something that takes away freedom, thereby leading many to misery and ruin.
Even though the Lord knows that Satan will still fight against Him and continue his evil course, God permits him to be released from his prison and, one last time, demonstrate his true heart. Sadly, it will be shown that after a thousand years to think about the situation, he remains unrepentant. His plans will backfire and lead him into the eternal prison of permanent death. His annihilation will not leave him somewhere in chains in the universe but will turn him into ash (Ezekiel 28:18, 19). This most wicked of con artists will forever be gone.
Father in heaven, I thank You that in Your goodness, You will release the devil for only a little while so that all will know that his rebellious spirit will never change.
