REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 20:7 Satan’s release after the thousand years will free him to deceive the nations and to gather them for the last battle. Amillennialists see this as the same battle as the one described in Revelation 16:13 and Revelation 19:17. Premillennialists see this as a separate, later battle. The gathered armies are called Gog and Magog, titles of Israel’s pagan oppressors, who would be destroyed by fire... from heaven (Ezekiel 38:22; Ezekiel 39:6) and eaten by birds (Ezekiel 39:1, Ezekiel 39:17; Revelation 19:17, Revelation 19:21). The saints are attacked by enemies as countless as the sand of the sea (see Revelation 12:17), but God will protect them.
