It did not say during the millenium.
The meaning is that they resurrected ones come to perfection by the end of the millenium.
Yes,
I'm glad you agree
Good, I presume you also agree the context of Rev 20:7-9.
Thanks and God bless.

Its always best to ask rather than presume agreement on a debating forum. Did you have a question for me related to the OP?

Satan wasn't "given power to temps man" as in, comissioned by God to temps humans, Satan made that decision himself. God simply didn't kill him (Satan) once he (Satan) had gone ahead and acted on his decision.

The way that Satan can tempt us, that I consider the power of Satan.
Just like us, as given freewill, we have the power to choose. No one can alter our choices, God just allows it.

But this is your post;
