The Defeat of Satan

Rev 20: 7-10

so at the end of the thousand years, satan is released and deceives nations all over the earth. he will gaver armies as numers as the sand of the sea. This huge army surrounds the saints and the holy city but as soon as they do, they are consumed with fire. then the devil was thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and false prophet where they suffer forever.

Another short passage. Satan is released at the end of Christ's reign on Earth and in one last effort to rebel, he gathers all non-Christians from around the world. This is confusing because this appears to be after Christ has come back, so does He come back and not destroy all who oppose Him? After all, satan gathers somebody. So does that mean that while we reign with Christ that there will also be nonbeleivers around? Well from what I can gather is that Christ comes back, gathers His people into the holy city where He reigns for a thousand years, yet there are those who do not follow Christ outside the holy city. These are the people satan gathers. Now the reason I don't think satan's army is the tribulation is because the Word states that the beast and false prophet were already in the lake of fire.

What I realize: God's justice is swift. Satan's gonna lose, and quick. I realize that it's important to study revelation and the signs of Christ's return because the beast will rise in power and authority and reign just like Christ will, yet only one is the true Lord of Lords.
