“Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea”. Revelation 20:7-8. Who are they, “whose number [is] as the sand of the sea”.? My head keeps telling me that they are the disappointed and disillusioned Antichrist Christians who refuse to do the will of God the Father. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. These Antichrist Christians could not believe what they heard from Jesus. How could Jesus reject them when they have plenty of faith, they wonder? Did the apostle Paul not say, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. They could not believe that they had been deceived by an apostle of God. They are disappointed, disillusioned, mad and frustrated. They thought that they were on their way to heaven. But they were not. And Satan uses the opportunity to gather a large number of the disappointed, disillusioned Antichrist Christians, “whose number [is] as the sand of the sea”, to battle other Christians who do the will of God the Father. Brothers and sisters, what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 is not hyperbole. He meant what He said. The pending battle described in Revelation 20 will be a battle between the Prochrist Christians and the Antichrist Christians. “They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.” Revelation 20:9.
The LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." Genesis 6:7. Readers, what God said in Genesis 6:7 during Noah’s time will be repeated in Revelation 20:9. No mercy for Satan and his followers! No grace for the Antichrist Christians who refuse to do the will of God the Father. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 6:8.
Doing the will of God the Father is not subject to any bargain. Adam and Eve lost eternal life because they did not do the will of God the Father. Lucifer and millions of his angels lost eternal life because they too did not do the will of God the Father. Millions and billions of souls perished during Noah’s time because they refused to do the will of God the Father. Jesus died on the cross because the Jews did not know and did not do the will of God the Father. The reformed Pagans know the will of God the Father, but they ignored the will of God the Father. They hold on to their Pagan customs and traditions. The Protestant Reformers know the will of God the Father, but they too ignored the will of God the Father. How could God the Father not ignore us if we keep ignoring Him?
I have no doubt that when Jesus returns, millions and billions of Christians will be left behind,“whose number [is] as the sand of the sea”, Why? Because they too refuse to do the will of God the Father.
