THE GREAT TRIBULATION / REVELATION 7:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 7:14

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION / REVELATION 7:14

The great tribulation is a time of God’s unequaled judgment on the end-time antichrist world that has rejected Christ; but it is also a time of satanic assault against those who receive Christ and His Word during the tribulation (Revelation 12:12). During this period, many followers of Christ will suffer terribly from persecutions by Satan and ungodly people (Revelation 7:9-17; 6:9-11; 20:4; 14:13). The conflict between righteousness and wickedness – those who serve God and those who serve Satan – will be so intense that it can only be called a “great tribulation.” This phrase in the Greek literally reads “the tribulation, the great”; in the Greek language, repeating the article “the” adds forceful emphasis. Matthew 24:21 tells us, “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now – and never to be equaled again.”

THE DEVIL … THE LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR / REVELATION 20:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

THE DEVIL … THE LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR / REVELATION 20:10

Satan’s final attempt to defeat and dethrone God fails miserably, and his power and deception come to their final end. God will throw him into the lake of burning sulfur (Isaiah 14:9-17), where the antichrist and his false prophet had already been thrown (Revelation 19:20). There he will not rule but will be tormented day and night forever.

SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF GOD’S PEOPLE / REVELATION 20:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:9

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.

SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF GOD’S PEOPLE / REVELATION 20:9

The battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16; 19:19) is not the final conflict of good and evil. One last battle at the end of the millennium will seal the eternal doom of Satan and his followers. Nations will be deceived into marching against and surrounding Jerusalem, intent on being free from Christ’s rule. Like the confrontation at the beginning of the millennium, this battle is not much of a contest and the outcome is never in doubt. God will intervene, and the rebels will be destroyed by fire. His judgment will result in their total destruction.

DECEIVE THE NATIONS / REVELATION 20:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:8

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

DECEIVE THE NATIONS / REVELATION 20:8

This is the last rebellion against God in history. Many of those born during the millennium will choose to reject Christ’s authority and choose instead to believe Satan’s lies. How and why will so many be deceived into rebelling against God, even after experiencing the perfection of Christ’s reign? The fact is that human nature will be the same. Some people will likely be convinced that they have missed out on something or did not truly have freedom under Christ’s rule. People with weak commitments or insincere motives will always deny or defy God when faced with temptation. Only when people have joined Christ for eternity – changed in body and spirit – will they be rid of the sinful nature. (Note that those who were resurrected or came form heaven to reign with Christ during the millennium will be immune to Satan’s temptations. His deception will occur only among those who were born during the millennium Revelation 19:21).

SATAN WILL BE RELEASED / REVELATION 20:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:7  

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

SATAN WILL BE RELEASED / REVELATION 20:7

At the close of the millennium, Satan will be released.

  1. It seems that God will allow Satan to test those who have lived under the ideal conditions of Christ’s millennial reign. They will have opportunity to prove their allegiance to God or to follow the pull of their carnal (unspiritual) hearts and rebel against Him. Ironically, countless people (Revelation 20:8) who experienced Christ’s peace will be deceived and will join themselves with Satan and his final evil army.
  2. Satan himself, full of vengeance following his confinement and still deceived in believing he can yet defeat God, will be allowed to deceive those who desire to rebel against Christ’s rule. He will gather a multitude of such rebels – “like the sand on the seashore” (Revelation 20:8) to launch a final assault on God’s people.
  3. “Gog and Magog” (Revelation 20:8 derived from Ezekiel 38 – 39, but not necessarily a reference to the same nations) represent all the nations of the world and their spirit of rebellion against God and righteousness.

SPIRITS OF DEMONS PERFORMING MIRACULOUS SIGNS / REVELATION 16:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 16:14

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

SPIRITS OF DEMONS PERFORMING MIRACULOUS SIGNS / REVELATION 16:14

During the tribulation, rulers of the nations will be greatly influenced and controlled by demons. Deceived by Satan through miracles, they will enter into an insane alliance with the antichrist. By following his schemes, they will plunge the entire world into a great holocaust.

FROGS / REVELATION 16:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 16:13

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

FROGS / REVELATION 16:13

These evil spirits are demons who can work miracles and deceive the nations in order to support evil, sin and the antichrist. The “dragon” must be identified with Satan (Revelation 12:7-9) and the “beast” with the anti-christ (Revelation 13). The fact that they come out of the mouths of the unholy trio may indicate some sort of communication or lying message to the world. However, these particular spirits do not focus on common people; their attention is on manipulating world rulers.

WAR IN HEAVEN / REVELATION 12:7-9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 12:7-9

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

WAR IN HEAVEN / REVELATION 12:7-9

The tribulation will involve not only great spiritual conflict on earth, but also war in heaven. Battling against Michael (whom Jude calls the archangel, or “chief angel”) and his angels, Satan and his angels will put forth a final effort to defeat God’s angels and his ultimate plans. Up to this time, Satan and his demons have been rulers of authority in the spirit world with significant realms of influence. They have been “powers of this dark world” and “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms: (Ephesians 6:12). Yet, Michael goes on the offense and launches the attack on Satan, giving a sign that the devil’s wicked rule is about to end. Satan’s power is no match for the angels who have always remined loyal to God.

  1. Satan is defeated, hurled down to earth (Luke 10:18) and allowed no further access to heaven.
  2. Heaven rejoices (Revelation 12:10-12), for Satan is no longer a spiritual force in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). At the same time, this event causes “woe” to those on earth (Revelation 12:12-13), where he will still have power. However, his time at this point is short and his final defeat is very near. This fall of Satan may begin the great tribulation – the latter half, and most intense part, of the seven years before Christ’s return to earth. At the end of the tribulation time, the antichrist will be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire and Satan will be bound and thrown into the Abyss, freeing the world of his evil schemes for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3). Following that time, Satan will be released briefly to deceive those who are not completely devoted to Christ and to make a final assault against the godly. But in the end, he will be defeated completely and thrown into the lake of fire for eternity (Revelation 20:7-10).

A THIRD OF THE STARS / REVELATION 12:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

A THIRD OF THE STARS / REVELATION 12:4

This action and symbolism is like that of the small horn (the Syrian ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes) in Daniel 8:9-10. Some believe that this is a description of the angel Lucifer’s (Satan’s) original rebellion against God and fall from heaven along with the angels who followed him (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6). Others simply view this as a sign of Satan’s ruthless and destructive power over those who oppose him. Satan is unsuccessful in his attempt to destroy Jesus as an infant (Revelation 12:5; Matthew 2:16-18).

FALSE PROPHET … THE MIRACULOUS / REVELATION 19:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 19:20

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

FALSE PROPHET … THE MIRACULOUS / REVELATION 19:20

John again describes the false prophet by one primary characteristic: he deceived many by performing miraculous signs (Revelation 13:13-15; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10). Since Satan can only imitate the genuine things of God, these miracles will be full of lies and deception, just as in all that Satan does (John 8:44). In the last days, those who desire to remain faithful to Christ and His Word (Revelation 14:12) must not base their perception and evaluation of truth and reality solely on the appearance of success or miracles. The Lord Himself warns: “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect – it that were possible” (Matthew 24:24).
