So far we have covered many aspects of end times beliefs and so far we have found that they all – without exception – point clearly to the dramatic events of AD70- when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple. Now let’s have a look at Armageddon and Gog and Magog.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. ² He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. ³ He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. – Rev 20:1-2 ⁷ When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. – Rev 20:7-8 But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. ¹⁰ And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. – Rev 20:9-10

And then it is the end of this world’s history and the judgement begins.

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. – Rev 20:12

Now… unless someone edited all the history books of all the nations throughout history, we have not yet had the 1,000 years of peace. Agreed? In v1 the devil is seized and put in chains in order to stop him deceiving the world. After that 1,000 years during which time we Christians reign with Jesus Christ  See Rev 20:4-6.
