Revelation 20: Millennial Kingdom
Revelation 20:1-3 The devil was not created evil; rather, according to Ezekiel 28, he was beautiful and blameless, the cherub anointed to cover in Eden. He became evil in the garden. He was lifted up with pride and motivated by jealousy of God.
Genesis 3:14 His fall seems to be simultaneous with Adam’s and Eve’s for after their fall the devil is cursed.
Revelation 12:4 – Sometime between the fall of man and the flood, he convinced 1/3 of the angels to join with him against Yahweh. Revelation 5:11 John’s vision there are myriads of myriads (exceeding great, countless), and thousands…
2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6. Some of these demons were locked in chains awaiting their final judgment in the abyss, the same place the devil will go.
2 Corinthians 11:3-ff The devil tries to deceive us as he did Eve.
Revelation 12:9 He deceives the whole world.
John 10:10 He is the thief that steals, kills, and destroys.
Revelation 12:10 He is the accuser of the brethren.
Ephesians 2:2 He is the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works within the children of disobedience.
1 Peter 5:8 Our adversary
2 Corinthians 4:4 He is the god of this age, the object of man’s worship.
Ephesians 6:12 Our struggle in life is against him.
5 — Acts 24:15; Daniel 12:2 Two resurrections (everlasting life or everlasting contempt) separated by 1,000 years
John 5:29 Resurrection of life or resurrection of judgment
Luke 14:14 The first is the resurrection of the righteous – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
1 Corinthians 15:1-ff Called “the resurrection of the just”
Luke 20:36 The children of God, being the children of the resurrection
Hebrews 11:35 The better resurrection
9 — During the 1,000 years, many people will be born, and the earth will be repopulated. These people live during a time when the temptations of the devil are nonexistent, so perhaps they (like all those before them) must decide the lordship of Christ when facing evil choices. Apparently, many are deceived.
11-15 — The second resurrection and final judgments for all those who were not included in the first resurrection including those born in the millennial
The lake of fire is a symbol of eternal destruction, not a literal lake. It is the same as Gehenna, but it is different from hell, which is the common grave of mankind. It occurs five times 19:20; 20:10, 14, 15; 21:8. The following are cast into the lake of fire:
Devil and his angels – Matthew 25:41
Death cannot literally be burned.
Hades or the grave cannot be harmed by literal fire
The beast and false prophet
All the unrighteous
The Lake of fire is a symbol of eternal destruction; it is the second death. The first kind of death mentioned in the Bible resulted from Adam’s sin. This death can be reversed by resurrection and will eventually be eliminated by God –1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 26. There is no release from the symbolic lake of fire.
2 Thessalonians 1:9 The symbolic lake represents eternal punishment in the form of permanent destruction.
Gehenna (Greek ge'en·na) is mentioned 12 times in the Bible. Like the lake of fire, it is a symbol of eternal destruction. Although some translations render this word as “hell,” Gehenna is different from hell (Hebrew “sheol;” Greek “hades”).
