In order to understand these verses, you need to understand what all the spiritual meanings of words such as prison, the nations, the earth, Gog and Magog, what the 1000 years means, Gods fire from heaven etc. I'm not sure if Ray has covered in specific detail what these actual verses mean.
Given that I'm not sure where or even if Ray has covered this stuff, care needs to be taken not to get into "teaching".  In Revelation 1:1 we're told that the book is signified. It means the whole book is in "signified" language, symbolic, another parable and probably the most spiritually complex of the whole Bible.
I know this doesn't really answer your question in any specific detail, but as I said if Ray hasn't covered it anywhere in his papers, thats about as specific as we can be without "teaching".

Ray has covered it in emails ,,, and there have been several other threads on this same topic.

Try searching the forum, and the emails ,, and see what you come up with.

Nevertheless this  topic has been trodded too many atimes already :)

I have an idea why Satan is loosed after the 1000 years.  I can't give you any specific scriptures to support my view so understand that it is just my educated opinion and nothing more.  Here it is:
Satan is used by God to test man and to help grind man's will to powder.  Look at how God used Satan to test and change Job.  Job is representative of God's elect and Satan is used by God to "grind him to powder" so to speak.  God uses Satan to bring about good.  It's a ugly process but the end results are perfect.  Have you ever asked yourself why no one will be made into God's elect during the 1000 year reign of Christ?  Christ's church has been formed at the start of His reign - it is complete.  During the 1000 year reign, Christ will not be adding to His church - no one will be matured into a elect person during that whole 1000 year reign.  And that is why I believe that Satan is bound during that age - his services are not needed by God at that time.  But Satan is loosed again and casted into the lake of fire where his services are used again to bring all remaining people to salvation. 
This is just my opinion but I do think it helps explain why Satan is bound for the 1000 years and then let loose in the lake of fire.  If anyone one else has any opinion on this subject or better yet, some scripture, I would love to hear it.
