是“免得他迷惑列國”；
“迷惑列國”指的是大災難，
和導致世界末日的大戰[2]。

and the spiritual millennial kingdom coincide with the same period
when the True Jesus Church reigns with Christ for a thousand years[3],
starting from the advent of the True Church in the end time.

和屬靈千年國度重合在同一時期，

(1) Satan will be released and the greatest persecution and battle will occur.
(2) Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire and then the great final judgment will begin.
