“As the gospel spreads throughout the earth and brings its divinely intended and Spirit-energized results, evil […] is eventually routed and the millennium arrives. During this era the nations live in peace, for Satan is “bound” and thereby evil is temporarily restrained. After the thousand years have ended Satan is loosed to lead a short-lived rebellion, the final conflict of evil with righteousness, whether this be understood as a spiritual battle of truth against error or in terms of political persecution. Satan’s rebellion is ended by the triumphal return of Jesus. The Second coming is followed by the general resurrection, the judgment and and the eternal state — heaven and hell” (The Millennial Maze, p. 72).
