And when the thousand years are expired,... Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 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."

Hummm....according to this it looks like 'the final war' is AFTER the thousand years. But it is my understanding Christ returns to earth to the mount of olives in the midst of that war...THEN the thousand years follows this.

It does seem there are two wars.....one where Russia and it's hoards are destroyed....and then perhaps this written of here.

Been awhile since I've looked or discussed these passages. Might be I'm just forgetting! Ha!

Great article.

Thanks.

Great post! This Sunday I am teaching from Rev. 20 so I will certainly use this post in preparing for Sunday school. I have a question, though. I’ve never been quite sure about when the resurrection of the Old Testament saints will take place. This article seems to place it at the time of the crucifixion, in Jerusalem. Scripture says that many saints were resurrected then, but does that mean ALL OT saints? If not, when are they resurrected? Thanks

a central theme of Scripture is that sin is the cause of death, and will ultimately be eradicated from existence, together with all those who "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2nd Thessalonians 2:12)

This "eradicated from existence" part, I do not agree with because it sounds like the Jehovah Witnesses' doctrine of annihilation. When God creates the new heavens and new earth wherein righteousness dwells after the millennial rule, there will no longer be sin and death, crying or pain because all has been made new. But those that have gone to hell along with the devil and his angels, the anti-christ and the false prophet, will suffer for eternity, there is no eventual ceasing to exist. To say it that way almost sounds like the point of reincarnation for the Hindus and Buddhists. Their eventual prize called nirvana, is "becoming one with the universe", ceasing to exist and no longer having any consciousness of individuality. Perhaps this article meant something other than "eradicated from existence"? They will still exist, just not in any way that can ever again effect the new life with God.

Thanks GiovannaNicoletta, I am confused about OT saint resurrection timing. Also, when do saints in the millennium get their glorified bodies? Does everyone born in the millennium rebel when Satan is released?

I think this guy's teaching in this video has a lot to say for it.

The teaching starts about 40% into it . . . at about. . . well, with the slider button just after "Media" in the "Windows Media Stream" phrase in blue on the left bottom under the video pic.

The first section is about 40 days of time for setting the blessing to be released over one's life over the next year.

I'd be interested in the Hebrew/Jewish knowledgeable folks to comment on the teaching.

The teaching proper that I'm most interested in sharing is the one immediately after the blurb about the 40 days of blessing setting period.
