Revelation 20:7-10

Rev 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.




It is very clear here, at the end of a thousand years, Satan will be released and start his deception all over again.  Only this time it will be for a final battle with God.  Now see verse 5 again where it speaks of the resurrection  and says Rev 20:5 "(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection."  Some feel there will be a resurrection of the righteous and a resurrection of the wicked.  If so, this is when the wicked dead who were not in the first resurrection, will be resurrected, to immortal bodies to be tormented forever in hell.

This is kind of confusing.  Let me see if I can make it more clear.

There are two kinds of resurrection, Physical and Spiritual
 Once the Physical Body is dead, there can be no spiritual resurrection.  This is why it is so important to make your decision of whom to follow and COMMIT to that.  Once dead, no spiritual resurrection can take place.


There will be two kinds of physical resurrection:
One for the righteous which occurs before the Millennium and then one for the evil or wicked after the Millennium. (see Jn 5:28-29 and Rev 10:4-6 &11-15) 
There will be 1000 years between the two resurrections.

Back to verse 8.  Satan takes off where he was when he was captured.  He starts to pull an army together again for the final attack against God.
What is this Gog and Magog?   The first I saw this mentioned was Eze 38 and 39.  Here Gog was from Magog and is a prince of two places, Meshech and Tubal.  He was getting ready to attack Israel but, is to fail and be destroyed.  Jewish teaching concerning Gog and Magog explains them as all things the are against God.- This works in verse 8 as well.  We read further in verse 8 and 9 that Satan and army come up against Jerusalem, but fail.  It is very clear what happens next.


Next is "The Final Judgment"

Blessings on all !!
