After a long time of imprisonment in the bottomless pit, Satan is loosed out of his prison. It is then he will bring forth the great universal deception (Matt 24:24). The devil will go out to deceive one last time the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth – promising them a victory over God’s purpose and plan – a battle which he had lost time and again in His-story. Gog and Magog are the globally deceived masses that will gather together to battle against God’s people (saints) who are spread all over the earth. The deceived will compass their camps (temporary habitation) and God’s Church, the beloved city New Jerusalem made of living stones (believers).

Incidentally, this deception is happening now. Satan was deceiving the world until the Church was established, was not at the time of Revelation of Jesus Christ to John because he was bound by chains and cast into the bottomless pit, and has descended out of the bottomless pit now and will be here for a little season – the masses out there, in collusion with the Devil, are trying outright to thwart the purpose of God (of bringing many sons to glory) and topple His plan (of redemption of the saints bodily and of the ultimate casting out of Satan and everyone with him into the lake of fire).
