Revelation 20:7-10
Revelation 20:7: “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 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.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
Here we see Satan’s final act of deception. When the devil is released from the bottomless pit he will go out and deceive the nations, and will gather an immense army – “the number of whom is as the sand of the sea”. This depraved army will surround the city of Jerusalem, but God will send fire down from Heaven and destroy them all. Satan will then be cast into the Lake of Fire, where he will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Thus the devil comes to his end. This being who lured so many people into eternal torment will be eternally tormented himself.
