XV. GOG AND MAGOG PREX1 48

Who are Gog and Magog, says one, whom Satan is to deceive at the end of the thousand years, if there are to be none but the raised and glorified saints on earth during that time? I answer, the same mentioned in verse 5, who are not to live again until the thousand years are finished; clearly implying they will live again then. If they are raised then, and Satan is loosed at the same time, he will find a great abundance of subjects of his deceptive pretence of a battle with Christ and his saints. And this is the only point of deception. There is no battle between the devil and the saints; but “fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.” The fire of God’s wrath will sweep them from the earth into the lake of fire.
