The Revelation of Jesus Christ to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 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."

~he reference to "Gog and Magog," when read in con nection with Ezek. 38: 1-39:24, seems to indicate clearly that Russia will play a prominent part in that final rebellion against the God of heaven. (We went into this subject fully in the radio message, in booklet form, on "Russia, Her Invasion of Palestine in the Last Days and Her Final Destruction at the Return of Christ." ) "The beloved city," Jerusalem, will again be encompassed by the enemy; but God will once for all seal the doom of Satan and his followers. THE ETERNAL DooM OF SATAN "And the devil that deceived them was cast Into the lake of Are and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever" (verse 10). . This lake of fire is hell, the place which our Lord described in no uncertain terms. Satan will find there "the beast and the false prophet," who by this time will have been there for a thousand years. And these three, together with all the fallen angels and all the ungodly men of every age, ..shall be tor mented day and night for ever and ever."
THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT WHITE THRONE "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on It, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found oo place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which Is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (Hades. R. V .) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell (Hades. R.V.) were cast into the lake of Are. This Is the second death. And whosoever was not found written In the book of life was cast Into the lake of flJ'e" (verses 11-15).
