Revelation 20:3

Then the angel threw him into the abyss, which was closed and sealed over him. This was so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were ended. After those years, he will be released for a short time.
[The verse indicates that the dragon will disappear in two stages; the final judgment is described in verses 7-10. It can be difficult to understand why Satan will be released once again. One explanation may be that Satan's judgment follows the same pattern as the judgment of ungodly people. When they die, they end up in the realm of the dead (Gk Hades, Hebr. Sheol),which is a temporary place. From there, they will be released for a short time to stand before the white throne, be judged by Jesus, and then be thrown into the lake of fire, see verses 11-15. Similarly, the wicked serpent is sent to the abyss, released for a short time, and finally judged and thrown into the lake of fire, see verses 9-10.]
