Now that we have seen that the King of Kings will return, Satan will be restrained, and Christ will rule in the Millennium, what is next? Look at Revelation 20:7: “Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison ….”
When will that happen? Satan’s release will occur immediately at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ. It is almost like a meter: God puts in a thousand-year quarter, turns the knob, and the timer starts. Satan will have been raging, and thinking about everything, but then he gets one more chance to afflict the earth: “… [Satan] will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea” (Revelation 20:8).
It is mind-boggling to think that people could sink so low as to listen to Satan after 1,000 years of seeing Jesus and what the world was like under His rule! There was perfect justice, peace, health, and agricultural production.
But then the old dragon gets out—and he has a vast following once again. “Gog and Magog” is another way of saying “all the peoples of the world.” There will still be nations, but this is not identifying Russia as the evil one. “Gog and Magog” is a euphemism for the people who are in rebellion against God.
