Satanic Rebellion Crushed

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison

8 and will go out ^ato deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, ^bGog and Magog, ^cto gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

9 ^aThey went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone ^awhere the beast and the false prophet are. And they ^bwill be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Great White Throne Judgment

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face ^athe earth and the heaven fled away. ^bAnd there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, ^asmall and great, standing before¹ God, ^band books were opened. And another ^cbook was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged ^daccording to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
