REVELATION REVEALED

 

SATAN’S FINAL REBELLION & Deception of the Nations. (Rev. 20:7-10)

At the close of the Millennium, Satan will be loosed from the Pit “for a little season,” and will “go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog.”

Sad to say, however, there will be a great number of rebels against Christ’s theocratic Rule. These are people born in the Millennium, but who have not been born again. Like nominal Christians, they have not embraced Christ from their hearts. The “Iron Rod” of Christ will be the only thing keeping them under subjection. Thus Satan will succeed in gaining their support in his final rebellion. In fact, Satan is released for this purpose – to sift the nominals, who in spite of the perfect environment and every opportunity to know the truth, still do not embrace the King.

Satan will foment this final revolt against God. Once again Jerusalem will be surrounded by vast armies, laying siege to the Holy City. However this will be the final death-knell of evil for all Eternity. God will completely destroy Satan’s hordes with a rain of fire from Heaven, and Satan himself, at long last, will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the other two members of his unholy Trinity await him, to be tormented day and night for ever!

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT. “The Tares.” (Rev. 20:11-15)

John is shown the 5th and Final Judgment of the world. He sees a Great White Throne upon which God is seated, and from whose Face the Heaven and Earth flee away. Christ is seated upon the White Throne, for the Father has delegated all Judgment to His Son! (“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son.”) (John 5:22)

The dead stand before God, whilst the Books, (of their Works) and other Book, the Book of Life, are opened. They are judged out of these Books according to their works.

Let us be clear about this: It is not a general judgment, but only of the unsaved who have been yielded up in the Second Resurrection. Those involved here are all doomed to die that Second Death because of their iniquity. Their names are not in the Book of Life so they must follow Satan and his cronies into Eternal Torment.

“Death and Hell” are then cast into the Lake of Fire, for this is the “Second Death,” and all of those whose names are not found written in The Book of Life are also cast into The Lake of Fire.
