Verse 7
At the end of the Millennium God will release Satan from the abyss (cf. 1 Peter 3:19). Two reasons are implied in the text: to demonstrate the incorrigibility of Satan, and to demonstrate the depravity of humanity. [Note: See David J. MacLeod, "The Fifth ’Last Thing’: The Release of Satan and Man’s Final Rebellion (Revelation 20:7-10)," Bibliotheca Sacra 157:626 (April-June 2000):204-5.] God may use an angelic agent for this purpose (cf. Revelation 20:1-3).
