Revelation chapter 20

Revelation 20:1-8 - Thousand years (dominion):
Rev. 20:1-8 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.  2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;  3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.  4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Yahushua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with haMashiyach for a thousand years.  5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of haMashiyach and will reign with Him for a thousand years.  7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, 8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore."
Verses 1-2: With our repentance out of the kingdom of mortality/lawlessness, Satan and his devils are thrown out of our repentant hearts (earth) and minds (heaven) and put under our feet (abyss) like Yahushua commanded the spirits of uncleanness coming out of many bodies who sought His salvation to free from the fleshly bonds such deafness, blindness, dumbness, lawlessness.  As long as we, His sanctified servants, are bound in obeying to His Law of Life, Satan and his devils remain under our feet.
Verse 3: Satan the father of lawlessness is in his dominion (thousand years) over those, from their fleshly births, who do the works of lawlessness (mortality), but with our repentance out of his kingdom of lawlessness (Satan and his devils thrown out of our hearts and minds), we are purchased with His blood of purity washing our sins (works of lawlessness) away, then Yahushua our Messiah reigns with us, His sanctified servants, in His eternal dominion (thousand years).  It is understood that Satan the father of death must be released at the short time (last days of our mortal life) as to destroy our perishable (fleshly/natural) bodies at the time of fleshly expiration (tares removed first) then our imperishable (spiritual) bodies can be freed back to His Kingdom of Life. 1 Cor. 15:42-50 "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.  So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, become a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.  However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.  The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is the Master from the heaven.  As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.  Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.  Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable."
Verse 4:  All His sanctified servants who keep His testimony of Yahushua have experienced in the trials of their spiritual growth in Messiah and finished their faithful works in His Law of Life by the ends of their mortal bodies that must be destroyed by Satan (dust returns to the ground), as to free their spiritual bodies back to His Kingdom of Life.
Verse 5:  The rest of the dead is understood as those (fleshly bodies) who have not yet come to repent from the kingdom of death, for they taste the works of death under the dominion (thousand years) of Satan the father of lawlessness because of their separation of His Law of Light, until His Word of Light comes to them, even to their mortal deaths, yet they are saved at the ends of their flesh where their fleshly (perishable/lawless) works are burned up and spiritual (imperishable) works are saved.  Acts 2:17 “And it shall be in the last days, Elohim says, that I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”; John 12:31-32 “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out."; 1 Cor. 15:22-24 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."; For as in Adam all die, so also in haMashiyach all will be made alive.  But each in his own order: haMashiyach the first fruits, after that those who are haMashiyach's at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to haElohim and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power."; 1 Cor. 3:13-15 "Each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.  If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.  If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire."  Once they are awakened out of the kingdom of darkness by His Word of Light touching their hearts to repent out of the kingdom of lawlessness dominated by Satan the father of lawlessness.  It is their first resurrection (spiritual freedom) out of the bonds of slavery/mortality as Yahushua our Messiah is the first of our first-fruits of Life as the first resurrection is the beginning of our spiritual life with Him.
Verse 6: All the sanctified servants are blessed thru their repentance out of the kingdom of darkness to see His Word of Light (Resurrection of freedom).  All the fleshly births are the children of first death because of the violation of His Law of Life thru the bloodline of Adam, but now we, His sanctified servants, repent out of the kingdom of lawlessness to His Kingdom of Life, where there is no more death in us.   All our perishable bodies at the ends of our fleshly ages go to the second death (dust returns to ground) once our imperishable bodies return to His Kingdom of Life.  We, the sanctified priests of our El and of our Mashiyach in Yahushua in His eternal dominion (thousand years), yet our perishable bodies must be destroyed at the ends of our fleshly ages by Satan the father of death.
Verses 7-8: Again, Satan the father of lawlessness, must be released for a short time (last days of our mortal lives) to destroy the mortal bodies to die.  The corners of world are the harvesters of the works of evilness (tares/mortality) and goodness (wheat/immortality).  The tares (works of lawlessness) must first be removed (harvested) by Satan and his devils then the wheat (works of goodness) is harvested by Yahushua our Messiah and his angels at the ends of our fleshly ages.  What is sown must be reaped (harvested) whether it is good or evil.

His key of the abyss and a great chain in His hand to hold Satan:
Rev. 20:1-3 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."; Matt. 16:18-19 "I also say to you that you are Kepha, and upon this rock I will build My assembly; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."  
His key of the abyss is to bound Satan under our feet (abyss) when we repent (loosen) from the kingdom of lawlessness as we bound with His Kingdom of Life for the shortened days while building our spiritual life on His Rock by His things added to us, before Satan must be released prior to our fleshly expiration.

From Satan's dominion (thousand years) in us saved to His dominion (thousand years):
Rev. 20:1-3 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."; Acts 26:17-18 "rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to Elohim, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me."  
His day of salvation comes to the repentant ones that are delivered out of Satan's dominion that is put under His feet (abyss) for the shortened days till the ends of their fleshly ages, for the spiritual minded are with His dominion forever.  Satan must be released prior to the ends of fleshly ages to overcome the fleshly (dying) bodies (kingdoms) before the spiritual bodies can be caught up with Him eternally in His Kingdom of Life.  Many peoples (nations) come to His salvation so that Satan cannot deceive them till his release for a short time (last hour) prior to their fleshly deaths.

Satan bounded, not deceive the nations, released, deceive them till the ends of fleshly ages:
Rev. 20:1-8 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.  Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Yahushua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with haMashiyach for a thousand years.  The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of haMashiyach and will reign with Him for a thousand years.  When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore."; Matt. 16:18-19 "I also say to you that you are Kepha, and upon this rock I will build My assembly; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."
To build His assembly (His chosen ones) on His Rock is the requirement of the repentance out of the bonds of lawlessness dominated by Satan as to put him bounded in the abyss locked (gates of Hades not overpowered) for the shortened days till the fleshly expiration.  The spiritual minded is given what is bounded in His Kingdom of Life while Satan the devil is bounded in the abyss (under His feet).  The fleshly minded is given what is bounded in the kingdom of death while loosening from His Kingdom of Life.  If the one loosens (backslide) from His Kingdom of Life, it loosens Satan from the abyss unlocked to enter his heart multiplied with the spirits of uncleanness.  
Satan is released for a short time to finish (deceive) the fleshly bodies (nations) at the ends of fleshly ages. 

Thousand years (dominion):
2 Peter 3:7-8 "But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of lawless men.  But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with YHWH one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day."; Rev. 20:2-3 "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."
Thousand years is the indication of completion (dominion) of the obedience of His Law of Life from the beginning of spiritual birth to the end of the mortality.  The longevity in the book of Genesis for those who died before a thousand years (Adam - 930 years old) is understood of their shortage of perfection because of the violation of His Law of Life, that leaves 70 years shortage of his perfection in which Yahushua restores His people back to His Kingdom in His 70th week.  Yahushua (last Adam) the Messiah's Day of salvation is far exceeded the length of Adam's life (nearly 1,000 years).  Rom 3:23-24 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of Elohim, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in haMashiyach Yahushua."; 1 Cor. 15:47 "The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is the Master from the heaven."  No mortal can complete his works of purity due to the violation of His Law of Life, therefore all are commanded to repent from the kingdom of imperfection to His Kingdom of perfection thru His blood of purification as to restore all back to His Law of purity/eternity.  The thousand years is the indication of completion/perfection of our spiritual maturity in Messiah as to restore us fully back to His Kingdom of perfection when our fleshly expiration comes to its end.  Yahushua the Messiah is the author of perfection converting all repentant hearts thru His Day of deliverance (judgment) that He comes to sit His throne in the sanctified hearts to put aside both the works of opposition into the opposing kingdoms till the ends of fleshly ages.  Satan the father of adversary/lawlessness is permitted to test His sanctified servants whether to obey His Law of Life or not, as to measure the valuation of the spiritual growth of Messiah in the level of His Kingdom of Life.  Satan must be released out of the perishable body at the time of fleshly expiration as to restore the imperishable body to His Kingdom of Life.

Bound Satan for a thousand years (our spiritual dominion):
Luke 10:18-19 "And He said to them, I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.  Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you."; Rev. 20:2-3 "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."; Ps. 90:4 "For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a watch in the night."
Yahushua the Messiah has been given authority from His heavenly Father to command all the spirits of uncleanness to clean out as Satan loses his powers/dominion falling from the heaven to the earth, and then even His authority is given to His sanctified hearts to heal (free) many and restore them back to His Kingdom of Life thru their beliefs in His salvation.  The bounding of Satan is His deliverance of the spirits of uncleanness out of the repentant heart till the end of his fleshly age.  
The thousand years is indicated as the dominion of our spiritual life to put Satan and his devils under our feet till the last days of our fleshly expiration when Satan is allowed to loosen and destroy our perishable bodies in order to return our imperishable bodies (souls) back to His Kingdom of Life.  1 Peter 1:22-23 "Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of Elohim."; 1 Peter 3:4 "but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of Elohim."   The fleshly minded is bonded with Satan the father of mortality from the fleshly birth, but with the repentance, the Spirit filled is bonded with YHWH (Yahúwah) the Father of immortality to do his spiritual work in the shortened days while Satan is put under his feet (abyss) till the end of his fleshly age.  Acts 26:17-18 "rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to Elohim, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me."; Ps. 91:7 "A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you."  Your repentance out of the world of mortality is sufficient to put Satan under your feet (abyss) from his dominion (thousand years) for Yahushua has overcome this world of lawlessness.
Yahushua the Messiah received the Spirit of Life thru the baptism of purity, then was tested in the wilderness (trials of His obedience to His Law of Life) and Satan departed from Him during His ministry of truths to all.  Satan was allowed to take His fleshly life (for a short time) but He was resurrected to free from Satan's powers and all His sanctified servants go thru the trials of their spiritual lives till the ends of their flesh.
It is understood that Satan the dragon has reigned/dominated (deceived nations) for years of mortality/lawlessness from the time of Adam's fall till his kingdom of lawlessness was overcome by Yahushua the Messiah (last Adam), then Satan "fell from heaven" as he is (bonded in the abyss) put under His feet (1 Cor. 15:25) for the thousand years (dominion of immortality).  Similarly, we were the fleshly minded under the dominion of Satan at the beginning of our mortal lives subjected to the kingdom of mortality, then we repent from the kingdom of lawlessness with Yahushua's delivery of us to put Satan under our feet until the ends of our fleshly ages.  Satan is understood to loosen for a short time to overcome our perishable bodies at the ends of mortality (fleshly ages) when we surrender our imperishable bodies to His Kingdom of immortality like Yahushua's body was killed by the doers of lawlessness with the dominion of Satan, then He was resurrected (surrendered) back to His Kingdom of Life.  It is also understood that Satan must be loosened for a short time in which we (fleshly bodies) all must die with our works of death, for Satan must perform his last duty to end our mortal bodies at the time of fleshly death in order to release our immortal bodies to His Kingdom of Life.  
If Yahushua is not killed by the act of lawlessness, He would live in His fleshly body forever on the earth and we would die vainly.  That is the reason why it is necessary to let Satan to loosen only for the last days prior to our mortal death like the last hour for Yahushua to die as He let Satan to do his last act to end His fleshly body.

After these things Satan must be released for a short time:
Rev. 20:2-3 "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."
What these things are fulfilled in the spiritual life come from the Kingdom of Life while Satan is under our feet (abyss) before Satan can be released to finish the fleshly body at the expiration of the flesh.  Matt. 6:32-33 "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."  Everyone must be given these things in his spiritual trial to fulfill before his fleshly life ends as to measure his spiritual valuation in His Kingdom of Life based on his obedience to His Law of Life.

Satan is thrown into the abyss, is shut, and sealed till all these things are done:
Rev. 20:2-3 "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time."
As we are sealed with His sanctification to free us from the kingdom of lawlessness bounded under our feet, Satan is sealed (bounded) for the dominion (thousand years) of Yahushua our Messiah is with us till the ends of our fleshly ages when Satan is released to destroy our fleshly bodies.

His judgment given to them because of their testimony of Him:
Rev. 20:4 "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Yahushua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with haMashiyach for a thousand years."
His saints who keep His testimony are given His judgment in examining the works of mortality whether they are of His Law of Life or of the lawlessness that belong to Satan the beast, by knowing the fruits of opposition.  His saints (souls) reign with Him during His eternal dominion (1000 years) while in the fleshly lives till the ends of fleshly ages, with the understanding that Satan must be released prior to their fleshly deaths as to free their spiritual bodies back to His Kingdom.  1000 means three-dimensional 10x10x10 perfection (YHWH, Son/Word of Life, Spirit of Life).

Those not worshipping the beast come to their spiritual life with the Messiah:
Rev. 20:4 "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Yahushua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with haMashiyach for a thousand years."
The repentant ones depart from Satan's kingdom of death and come to His Kingdom of Life to reign with Yahushua their Messiah for the shortened days while Satan is bounded under their feet till the ends of their fleshly ages.

The rest of the dead did not come to the life:
Rev. 20:5 "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of haMashiyach and will reign with Him for a thousand years."
The repentant ones/children of His Life, who are sanctified from the kingdom of death under Satan the father of lies that was put under His feet, reign with Yahushua the Messiah during His dominion (thousand years) till the ends of their fleshly ages.  
The rest of those (fleshly minded/children of death), who have not yet to repent from the kingdom of lawlessness till His Word of Light comes to them, are still under Satan's dominion (thousand years).  When they come to repent from the kingdom of death, the dominion of Satan is over as His dominion takes over with them.    All mortals must be tested in the spiritual trials till the ends of their fleshly ages before their perishable bodies that do the deeds of lawlessness go to second death and their imperishable bodies that do the deeds of His Law of Life go to first resurrection.  2 Cor. 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of haMashiyach, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."; Rom. 2:9-10 "There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil (fleshly minded), of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good (spiritual minded), to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
As of today, there are the spirit minded (repentant ones/children of Life) coming out of the kingdom of lawlessness and there are the fleshly minded (children of death) yet to awaken out of the kingdom of darkness by His Word of Light.  
All the perishable bodies which are of the kingdom of death are thrown out to the second death (lake of fire) at the ends of fleshly ages when the spiritual bodies that are in His dominion (thousand years) are freed back to His Kingdom of Life.  What is not repented (unforgiven) at the end of fleshly age goes to the lake of fire (kingdom of death).  Everyone has a knowledge of good and evil, where all works of repentance or forgiveness go to the Kingdom of Life and all works of unrepentance or unforgiveness go to the kingdom of death.

First resurrection:
Rev. 20:5-6 "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of haMashiyach and will reign with Him for a thousand years."
Since we, the fleshly births, have come into the kingdom of mortality (lawlessness) because of the violation of His Law of Life in the Adamic era, we all are commanded to repent out of the kingdom of mortality by our spiritual births into His Kingdom of Life.  Everyone that has the knowledge of good and evil has two opposing bodies: one kingdom of death (1st death/1st Adam) and another kingdom of Life (1st resurrection/last Adam/Yahushua the Messiah the first fruit of all).  All the fleshly bodies that do the works of lawlessness die (2nd death) and all the spiritual bodies that do the works of purity live eternally (1st resurrection).  
With the spiritual understanding of thousand years meaning the dominion/sovereignty, the rest of the mortals are the fleshly bodies/kingdoms under the dominion (thousand years) of Satan that do not know the works of Life die at the ends of fleshly ages, when the spiritual bodies/kingdoms with His dominion (thousand years) are caught up with Him to His Kingdom as they are in the 1st resurrection.  Remember that the spiritual bodies never taste death but the fleshly bodies do taste death.
We are the children of His 1st resurrection body once our fleshly bodies are buried to His death during the shortened days till the ends of our fleshly expiration.

The release of Satan from his prison:
Rev. 20:7 "When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore." 
The release of Satan from his prison (bounding) is to finish (deceive) the fleshly bodies at the fleshly expiration when the harvest time comes to separate the wheat (spiritual production) from the tares (wicked production).  The war between the kingdom of evilness and the kingdom of goodness comes to the end of fleshly age, for everyone has a knowledge of good and evil in creating the opposing kingdoms.

Gog and Magog is symbolized as His enemies at the ends of fleshly ages:
Rev. 20:8-10 "and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.  And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them." 
Gog and Magog is symbolized as His enemies (spirits of lawlessness) gather together to fight against His saints before the ends of the fleshly ages.  Rom. 7:22-25 "For I joyfully concur with the law of Elohim in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?  Thanks be to Elohim through Yahushua haMashiyach our Master! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of Elohim, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin."; 1 Peter 2:11 "Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul."  It speaks that "my mind (spirit)" serves His Law of Life, but "my flesh" serves the law of sin (wickedness), in which it battles against my soul (spiritual body) that does the opposite (His Law of righteousness).  
Eze. 37:27-28; 38:1-4 "My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their Eloheyhem, and they will be My people.  And the nations will know that I am YHWH who sanctifies Yisrael, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.  And the word of YHWH came to me saying, Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says YHWH Elohim, Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.  I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords."  Yisrael His chosen nation (spiritual body) is sanctified to separate from all the nations of lawlessness (fleshly bodies) that war against His people (the members of Body of Yisrael/Messiah).

Satan comes out before the ends of fleshly ages:
Rev. 20:8-10 "and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.  And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.  And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
Satan the beast comes out of the abyss (under their feet) before the ends of fleshly ages to war against His saints (spiritual bodies) who are about to return to His Kingdom of Life, before His judgment (fire) comes to the end of the kingdom of Satan that dominates the fleshly bodies.  All the spiritual bodies (souls) belong to YHWH and all the fleshly bodies that do the deeds of lawlessness belong to Satan, for everyone has a knowledge of good and evil, in creating the works of opposition that must be separated at the end of his fleshly age.  All the spirits of lawlessness (falsehood) dominated by Satan the devil are tormented (perished) forever, when the opposing kingdoms (day/Light and night/darkness) are separated for ever.
Gog and Magog is symbolized as His enemies (spirits of lawlessness) gather together to fight against His saints before the ends of the fleshly ages.  Rom. 7:22-25 "For I joyfully concur with the law of Elohim in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?  Thanks be to Elohim through Yahushua haMashiyach our Master! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of Elohim, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin."; 1 Peter 2:11 "Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul."  

Present earth and heaven fled away and no place found for them:
Rev. 20:11 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them."
His white throne He sat upon is His judgment against all the works of lawlessness.  The earth and heaven fled away is symbolized as the mortal body and mind that does the works of lawlessness shall be passed away (dies) at the end of fleshly age when the spiritual/immortal body (new earth and new heaven) emerges out of it.  John 12:24-25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.  He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal."; 2 Peter 3:7 "But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of lawless men."  He loves his spiritual life (Word of Life/grain of wheat) that is sown (lost) in his fleshly body (present earth), but if his fleshly body dies, then his spiritual body bears much fruit of Life.  If the one loves the fleshly life, what is the valuation of the spiritual life (body) when the fleshly body dies?  It is better to lose your fleshly valuation that promotes the work of lawlessness other than your spiritual valuation that keeps His Law of Life so you have your spiritual riches in His Kingdom of Life after the fleshly death.  2 Cor. 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in haMashiyach, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."    The old (present) things passed away are from the present earth (mortal body) and heaven (mortal mind) that does the deeds of lawlessness and the new things come from His Kingdom of Life (Matt. 6:33) are from the new earth (spiritual body) and heaven (mind) that does the Law of Life eternally.  If you are a member in (the Body) of Messiah, you are new creature (new earth/spiritual body and new heaven/mind).

Books for the dead and the book of Life:
Rev. 20:11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.  And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
The books (kingdoms/bodies) of death/lawlessness are thrown into the lake of fire (2nd death) to consume, for the words of lawlessness are written in the mortal hearts (fleshly bodies).  The one book of Life (Kingdom of Life/spiritual body) is saved in the repentant/sanctified hearts (members of His Body of Messiah).

Sea gave up the dead:
Rev. 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds."; Matt. 13:47-50 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.  So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."  The net is His harvest of all the works/fishes gathered in the mortal hearts (seas) at the ends of fleshly ages.  The good fish is the Word of Life and the evil one is the word of lawlessness.  The sea (every mortal heart) given up is the time of fleshly death to sort bad fishes (works of lawlessness) from good fishes (works of goodness).

Death and Hades thrown into the lake of fire:
Rev. 20:13-15 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.  And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."; Matt. 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Kepha, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it."
The fleshly body that does the deeds of lawlessness/death exalted in the mortal glories must be brought down (belonged) to the Hades (1st death), for he does not listen to His Word of Life.  The spiritual body that does the deeds of His Law of Life is saved in His Kingdom of Life.  Luke 10:15-16 "And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!  The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."; 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom."
The end of fleshly age brings (1st death/fleshly body) to the lake of fire (2nd death), but the spiritual body is carried to His Kingdom of Life, for the soul (spiritual body) never tastes death.  Every one has the knowledge of good and evil creating into the opposing kingdoms/bodies that must be separated at the end of his fleshly age.  Acts 2:27 "Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor allow Your holy One to undergo decay."

Anyone's name (fleshly body) not found written in the book of life:
Rev. 20:15 "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."; Luke 10:19-20 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.  Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
Every name is named in this world of mortality (not only in this fleshly age) but also in the one to come (world of immortality), in which means the fleshly body that does the deeds of lawlessness is not found in His Book (Kingdom) of Life, but the spiritual body that does the deeds of His Word of Life is found in His Book of Life, for His Word of Life is written in his sanctified heart.  Eph. 1:20-23 "which He brought about in haMashiyach, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,  far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.  And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the assembly, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all."   
John 1:29 "Behold, the Lamb of the Elohim who bears the sin of the world."; 2 Peter 3:9 "YHWH is not slow that is concerning His promise, as some think this backward, but He extends His wrath for us, not willing that any lost should perish, but all should turn in in repentance."; Luke 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."; Luke 5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."; Luke 3:6 "And all flesh shall see the salvation of Elohim."; 1 Peter 3:18-20 speaks of the spirits in prison (Sheol) who once were disobedient in the days of Noach; 1 Cor. 3:15 "If his work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, but like a shadow from fire."; 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Mashiyach all will be made alive."; John 12:32 "But, I, if I am lifted up above the earth, shall draw all of them to Myself."; Luke 13:2-5
