FINAL REBELLION AND DESTRUCTION OF SATAN

[God Sent]

Prophetic Scriptures Revelation 20

1, Opposing forces:
Satan,leading a great multitude from the nations of the earth,will surround the camp of the saints,the beloved city.
And when the thousand years are expired,Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,Gog and Magog,to gather them together to battle the number of whom is as the sand of the sea (Revelation 20:7-8).

This war is not the same war of Gog and Magog as described in Ezekiel 38-39.In Ezekiel,Gog refers to the leader of Magog...Russia...who leads a confederation of nations from the North to attack Israel.

The name Gog and Magog,in (Revelation 20) is used symbolically to refer to the nations throughout the earth who are in rebellion against God and Christ.
After the thousand year reign of the saints with Christ upon the earth,Satan will be loosed,and will go into the nations to deceive and lead them in one final rebellion against God.

PURPOSE
God's purpose for this final rebellion is to completely eradicate every trace of sin and disobedience from the earth.Even during the Millennial reign of Christ with the saints,there are be those who will be deceived,and will rebel against God.After leading this final rebellion,Satan will be cast into the lake of fire.

BATTLEFIELD
And they went up on the breadth of the earth,and compassed the camp of the saints about,and the beloved city:and fire came down from God out of heaven,and devoured them (Revelation 20:9).

WHEN:
After the Millennial reign of Christ with His saints upon earth,and before the great white throne judgment,Satan will be loosed to lead this final rebellion.

MAJOR EVENTS:
The saints will not have to fight during this war.God will supernaturally intervene,and will rain down fire from heaven,defeating their enemies.

OUTCOME:
The great multitude who have rebelled against God,and have gathered together against the saints,will be devoured by the fire from heaven. (verse 9)
This will be Satan's final overthrow! He will be cast into the Lake of fire with the Antichrist and the false prophet.This is Satan,s final destination where he will be tormented day and night throughout eternity.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,where the beast and the fals prophet are,and shall be tormented day and night for ever and evae (Revelation 20:10).

GOD BLESS.

Revelation 20:1-6 1 THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven; he was holding the key of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and a great chain was in his hand. 2 And he gripped and overpowered the dragon, that old serpent [of primeval times], who is the devil and Satan, and [securely] bound him for a thousand years.  3 Then he hurled him into the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and closed it and sealed it above him, so that he should no longer lead astray and deceive and seduce the nations until the thousand years were at an end. After that he must be liberated for a short time.  4 Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Also I saw the souls of those who had been slain with axes [beheaded] for their witnessing to Jesus and [for preaching and testifying] for the Word of God, and who had refused to pay homage to the beast or his statue and had not accepted his mark or permitted it to be stamped on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years.  5 The remainder of the dead were not restored to life again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed (happy, [a]to be envied) and holy (spiritually whole, of unimpaired innocence and proved virtue) is the person who takes part (shares) in the first resurrection! Over them the second death exerts no power or authority, but they shall be ministers of God and of Christ (the Messiah), and they shall rule along with Him a thousand years.

The world in which we live is not the world as God created it.  God created a world much like Isaiah described. But man chose sinful rebellion and was cast out of that utopia.  The millennial kingdom will provide our Lord and Savior, the Messiah Jesus Christ, with an opportunity to reign over a world that will be as it was meant to be.  Satan will be bound and unable to exercise his influence over God’s creation.  The blood of the martyrs will have been avenged, and the saints will be joined with our savior, in a preview of Heaven to come.  In Revelation 22:20, Jesus said, “I am coming soon.”  Let me close with the words John used in response to that promise, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”

Rev 20:5
5   But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
(KJV)

Who are those dead?

Matt 8:11-12
11   And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(KJV)

Matt 22:12-13
12   And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13   Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(KJV)

Matt 25:30
30   And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(KJV)

Who then are these in the 'outer darkness'? Are Christ's elect priests and kings only to rule over other believers? Remember what Jesus said to the Church of Philadelphia...

Rev 3:9
9   Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
(KJV)

Those of the synagogue of Satan refer to Christ's enemies on earth. They still are in power in the world today, and they certainly have not bowed the knee to our Lord Jesus, yet, and won't until Jesus returns. Because Jesus says He will make those come to worship Him at the feet of His elect (those He said this to), that's set for the Millennium timing. Those are the type Rev.20:5 is speaking about, for they are spiritually dead and not literally asleep.

This is what happens at Christ's second coming...

Matt 25:31-33
31   When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:
32   And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33   And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
(KJV)

The outer darkness examples our Lord Jesus gave in The Gospel are about that place of separation on the left, and that's where those dead will be during His thousand years reign with His elect. Those are the ones the rod of iron is meant for; it's not for those of His servants on the right hand. It means those dead who lived not again is meant in the spiritually dead sense, not the physical flesh dead sense.

This is the type Jesus was speaking about with that dead analgoy...

Matt 23:26-28
26   Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27   Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28   Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
(KJV)

That's the type Jesus was talking about when He declared He would make those of the synagogue of Satan come to worship at the feet of His elect per Rev.3:9. Those dead are going to be aware during the Millennium, and they're going to be under Christ's "rod of iron". There will be discipline. That place of separation Jesus called the outer darkness represents, during His reign on earth, the same type of separation He described in Luke 16 about the beggar Lazarus and the rich man, with a fixed border between the two. That Luke 16 description was not meant as metaphor.
