Revelation 20:7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison
8 and 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.
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
There will be those who will continue to resist the Love of FATHER and retain their “independence” and stature. They choose to remain blind because of their unwillingness and fear of dying to the flesh. They are no different than the children of Israel who want to return to the bondage of Egypt:
Numbers 11:4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
There will always be those who want to feed their souls and flesh rather than their spirits, even when they see the mighty works of FATHER. This last 1,000 years denotes the final test of maturity. We have 4,000 years associated with Passover, 2,000 years associated with Pentecost, and this last 1,000 years associated with Tabernacles. This is a time of rest for those who have ascended into the fullness of their calling. They have embraced their royal robes of righteousness and walk in an inner peace that is beyond man’s understanding. They have no problem in taking on the whole armor of FATHER and dealing with the fiery darts of the adversary as Paul urged in Ephesians chapter 6:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
The name “Gog” means mountain and the name “Magog” means land of mountains. Those who are set in the high earthly places will come to challenge the Elect who have been given power and authority to judge mankind. They will attempt to “encircle” those who FATHER has chosen to bring the Light into the world. They will use manipulation, human reasoning, and appeal to the lust and pride of men to dissuade those who dwell on the earth to follow the light. However, FATHER’S Word will come down from Heaven and devour their soulish intent. They will be exposed of the vanity they walk in. They will be unable to resist the fiery Word coming forth out of the mouths of the Elect. Their flesh will be “burned up” and will never again have the power it once claimed in its deception of man.
The term “forever” is connected to the idea of always and never. The flesh will never by victorious over the spirit. The spirit will always be victorious over the flesh. Since the flesh will always lose in its attempt to rise up against the Spirit, it will suffer as in defeat. The lake of fire is the purifying agent to remove the flesh from man in order to bring forth Divine nature. Removal is painful to the flesh and the flesh will certainly and forever suffer by definition. That is a good thing. Removing a splinter from the finger is painful and necessary for the healing to come forth and restoration to be complete. We must “detoxify” from the soulish and fleshly thoughts and actions as we prepare ourselves to go before the Throne of FATHER. Those who walked in a temporary soulish and exalted position may resist for a time but in the end they will succumb to the Holiness of THE LORD.
This final Age will be one of consuming the last attempts of worldliness. Perfection only comes when the dross is fully removed. When moving from 99% to 100% pure, the fire must be increased by seven-fold for that last impurity has the greatest resistance to removal but in the end, it is worth it. The final rebellion will be crushed.
