People & Context
The dragon, ancient serpent, the devil; bound a thousand years, loosed to deceive the nations, then thrown into the Lake of Fire
Already in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where the devil is finally cast
With the beast in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, tormented day and night to the ages of the ages
With Magog, the deceived nations at the four corners of the earth gathered by Satan for war against the saints
With Gog, the deceived nations gathered for the final assault, devoured by fire from Heaven
Timeline
An angel seizes the dragon — the ancient serpent, the devil, Satan — binds him with a chain, throws him into the abyss, and seals it for a thousand years so he can no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years are completed.
Revelation 20:1-3Those who were beheaded for Jesus' testimony and did not worship the beast come to life and reign with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them; they serve as priests of God and Christ.
Revelation 20:4-6After the thousand years, Satan is released and deceives the nations at earth's four corners — Gog and Magog — gathering them for battle. They surround the saints' camp and the beloved city, but fire from heaven devours them and the devil is cast into the Lake of Fire forever.
