When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. (Revelation 20:7-9 NASB)
After the second coming of Christ, God's Kingdom will be set up for a thousand years. During this thousand years, there will be perfect governance.
Today, our governments are imperfect. This gives us the opportunity to blame the government for our imperfections. But under a perfect government, anyone unhappy is likely to be cause by their own sin and imperfection and they cannot blame the government anymore.
But when Satan is released, these unhappy people will finally be able to hear an alternate reason for their unhappiness. Satan will tell them that their unhappiness is caused by God. And these unhappy people will rise in rebellion. Their number are like the sand of the seashore.
