"Why Will Christ Lock Satan Up For A Thousand Years, Then Set Him Free?"

Why Will Christ Lock Satan Up For A Thousand Years Then Set Him Free Again?

Hello and welcome to Jeshurun Ministry GB's program. Preach the gospel. Trouble is coming to the earth. It is the program designed to give you effective solutions for handling the problems in your life in this troubled season.

Can you imagine a situation in which fire comes down from heaven? Well, friend, we know about raging fires going up into the atmosphere with plumes of billowing black smoke. Fires in which the heat is so intense that it shatters glass window panes and melts everything in sight, but fire coming down from the sky. Well, unless it is a falling plane or rocket launch gone bad, this scene is pure fantasy. Yet this will happen on the day of the Lord.

This will happen in the final battle according to the book of Revelation. And that battle is called the battle of Gog and Magog. This battle will not occur until the end of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. Unlike the battle of Armageddon, it will be fought in and outside the beloved city of Jerusalem, but it will be much shorter and far more devastating. In fact, it appears that this battle will be the shortest battle ever fought on planet Earth. And the death of those who come against the beloved city will be sudden and instant. It will be the battle to end all battles.

Here's how it will unfold. Israel and the entire world will be at peace, having been given rest for a thousand years. What a glorious time that will be while Christ rules the entire world. However, at the end of the thousand-year period, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will release Satan for a short season, scripture tells us. He and his demons, Satan that is, and fallen angels will be sprung from their crowded dungeon in which they had been jam-packed for a thousand years.

In this message, we will answer the question of why Satan was not thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone along with the antichrist and the false prophet after the battle of Armageddon. At first glance, this is puzzling. After the mess that he has made of the earth, why not destroy him once and for all? Nevertheless, Christ locks him away with a plan to release he and his demons from their dungeon prison after a thousand long years.

Let us pray. Father, we give You thanks and praise for Your wonderful promises to Your children. Please give us a good understanding of Your Word and about this great battle that is coming upon the earth in the day of the Lord. We look forward, Father, with great anticipation to that awesome and wonderful day when you shall fulfill Your promises to rid the world of Satan and his evil forces forever. Bless every listener to this message in a special way. And we pray a holy and wonderful anointing on every listener to this message. And we pray this prayer in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

According to Revelation 20 verse 8, After being released, Satan will immediately go out and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth. Even after a thousand years of suffering, he will not have learned his lesson and will not be able to keep himself from doing wickedness. In this battle, a mysterious figure called Gog and the people of Magog will rise up. People will be gathered from all over the earth to do battle against God Himself, against the Father. There will be so many in Satan's army that their number will be as great as the sand on the seashores.

Those who survive the great tribulation will still be alive on the earth and there will be billions. During the thousand-year reign of Christ. Life will go on for them. They will continue to marry and to be given in marriage. They will work and own businesses and enjoy a peaceful life during the thousand-year reign of Christ. However, many will secretly hate Christ and the Father. This is unbelievable. The thousand years of Christ at the helm will be the best years the earth has ever seen. Yet, it will not win over those hard-hearted ones. It will be a thousand years of peace. And it is hard to imagine that after the glorious thousand-year rule of Christ, these on the earth will not completely submit to the Father and to be obedient to His Word.

In addition, the rest of the dead who were not gathered with Jesus Christ at the great gathering which we call the rapture may still be in their graves. In fact, they will be in their graves waiting for the second resurrection. After the thousand-year reign of Christ is over. The Word of God tells us that Satan shall be loosed out of his prison for a short season.

So, let us pause for a moment and consider something that is very consequential. Where did hate begin? Well, you can say it began in heaven when Satan decided that he did not want to be obedient to God, but rather wanted to be God Himself. He incited violence against God and convinced one third of the angels to join him in his disobedience and subsequently they were all cast out of heaven. This hate then came down to the earth with Satan and his demonic troop. And now hate has mushroomed and fills the entire earth.

And Satan's hate for God is clear and is reflected in his rebellious attitude toward God. His continuous disregard and downright hostile attitude towards God's holy authority is proof of his hate for God. We see it clearly in his prideful ambition to make himself like the Most High God. In other words, he's challenged the supremacy of God. His opposition toward the children of God also reflects this hate for God. And he is called our adversary or the one who accuses us and the one who tempts us to sin against God in the manner that he does. His hate is also described by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 4. This text says, "Satan blinds the minds of the children of God to prevent them from seeing the light of the gospel." His jealous hate is reflected in his disregard for God's redemptive plan for man. In addition, this hate is vividly displayed in his opposition to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, against whom he used the Pharisees and Sadducees to cause the Romans to crucify Him.

But the Father is the God of love. And all who believe that Jesus Christ is truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life are motivated by love. Jesus told His disciples, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another." And we are all to have this love for each other.

But Satan, the god of hate, will cause one more great rebellion immediately after his release from the bottomless pit. It will be the battle of Gog and Magog. He will go out and deceive the nations at the four quarters of the earth is what scripture tells us. The four corners of the earth is our understanding. He will gather all those who have harbored resentment against the Father. In this final battle, they will surround what is called the camp of the saints and the beloved city Jerusalem.

Now, Revelation 20 says, "This very massive army of people from all over the earth will go up on what is called the breath of the earth or the broad plains of the earth. And when they surround the camp of the saints of God and the beloved city, fire will come down from God out of heaven and devour all of them. It will be all over as quickly as it started. and this will be the final rebellion.

Ezekiel 38:17-23 gives us additional details about this

terrible awesome battle that displays the wrath of God in one final burst. God the Father would be present on the earth in that day. And the Word of God says that this mysterious persona named Gog is the one of whom the Father has spoken to His prophets about from ancient times promising that He would bring this ancient evil figure against the people of God. And the Father says in verse 18 that it shall come to pass that at the same time that Gog shall come out against the land of Israel in this final rebellion, Jehovah's fury will come up in his face.

Who is this mystery man called Gog? And who is or what is Magog? Apparently Gog is the name of the individual and Magog is the name of the nation. In Ezekiel 39 and 1, Gog is referred to as the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal who were the two grandsons of Noah and the sons of Japheth. Some scholars associate Meshech and Tubal with Russia and Moscow and others associate it with Turkey. All we know for sure is that Gog is the supreme ruler of the coalition and ruler of the military army itself that comes against that great city and our great God and whichever nation he is from would then perhaps be Magog.

The Father says that in a jealous rage over His beloved people, the fire of His wrath which He had spoken about shall come forth and there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel. I suppose this refers to a great earthquake. The Word of God says, "The fishes of the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man, woman, and child that are on the earth in that day will tremble at His presence." This earthquake, friend, this shaking will be so violent that the mountains will be thrown down. Can you imagine that? And the steep places will fall and every wall shall fall to the ground, Ezekiel tells us.

Meanwhile, there will be much confusion in the camp of Gog and Magog among all those who've come out against the Most High God. According to Ezekiel, the Father will call for a sword against this one called Gog. The confusion shall be so great that every man's sword will be turned against his brother. In other words, the great army will begin violently destroying itself from within. In addition, there will be pestilence or plagues that will break forth in the midst of the armies, and there will be much shedding of blood. scripture tells us.

Then the Lord says that He will rain upon Gog and upon all the soldiers of His army and upon the many people that have joined them. It will be an overflowing rain, a torrential rain of great hailstones and of fire and brimstone according to Ezekiel 38 and 22. It will be like no other war that has ever been fought upon the earth. The forces of Gog and Magog will be totally annihilated.

Then after that great battle, the people that dwell in the cities of Israel, according to Ezekiel 39 and 9, will go forth and set fires to burn all the weaponry of warfare used by the enemy. It will take them seven years to burn all the weapons of the huge army that had come against our great God and His beloved people. And a plot of land shall be given for the burial of Gog and his multitude of soldiers and all those that followed him. It shall be called the Valley of Hamon-Gog. At present, there is no specific place in Israel known by this name, and so perhaps it will be named at that time.

Then Ezekiel 39:12-15 goes on to say, "It will take the house of Israel 7 months just to bury all the dead in order to cleanse the land. Those hired to do this will have full employment. And even after they are done, they will be sent throughout the land to search for other bodies so that the land may be completely cleansed." And when people pass by this site, this burial site, the stench shall be so strong, so great that they will have to hold their noses.

After this great battle, that serpent who is called Satan and the devil who had deceived the people of the world and incited them against the Father and against the people of God will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where he will be reunited with the false prophet and the antichrist. They will spend all eternity in this fiery lake.

And the Father says that he will magnify himself. He will make himself large and mighty in the eyes of the people. He says he will sanctify himself and make himself known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that he is the Lord. And this will be a demonstration of the supreme power and sovereign nature of our God. His righteousness and holiness will be fully revealed to all humanity and everyone will know of a certain that He is Lord. The battle of Armageddon followed by the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ would have revealed to the entire world who Jesus Christ the Messiah truly is. And the battle of Gog and Magog will reveal to all who the Father is in all His majesty and splendor. The entire world will know Him as, hallelujah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Abba, Father the Master and Creator of all that exists. God bless and keep you in the holy and the wonderful name of His Son Jesus Christ.
