What does Revelation 20:8 mean?

A thousand years in the bottomless pit does not change Satan's character or attitude one bit. As soon as he is released, he resumes his intense opposition to God and God's people. Further, a thousand years of living in righteous, prosperous, Christ-ruled conditions does nothing to change the unbelievers' willful rejection of Christ. The presence of Jesus on earth is a special blessing, but the unregenerate human heart prefers evil to good.

When Jesus was on earth the first time, He came to His own and was rejected (John 1:11). John 3:19 explains: "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil." After his release from prison Satan deceives the nations in all regions of the world. He is a master of deceit, as was demonstrated by his deception of multitudes by his puppet, the False Prophet (Revelation 13:14). He gathers the rebellious multitudes together to engage in history's final battle.
