The Battle of Gog and Magog
The Battle of Gog and Magog
Rev. 20:1-3; 7-9
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
That old serpent, called the devil and satan had been bound for 1, 000 years during the reign of Jesus Christ on the earth. The culmination of the thousand years resulted in his release for a little season. He went to work right away deceiving the nations to end the time of relative peace with another war. He gathered an army to surround the camp of the saints and the army was destroyed by god with fire from heaven.
He has not been subjected to his final judgment at this point. He is still at liberty, so although that final battle is already in our past, his deception of the nations continue.
Satan's little season continues... until it ends.
