Why would anyone choose Satan after living under the reign of Jesus for a thousand years?

Revelation 20 describes one final rebellion that is almost impossible to imagine. Satan is released from the abyss, deceives the nations, and gathers them against “the beloved city.” Their number is like the sand of the sea.

But this raises an even deeper question.

Who are the “dogs,” sorcerers, murderers, idolaters, and liars outside the New Jerusalem in Revelation 22? Why are there still people outside the city? Why are the gates open? And why do the nations still need access to the Tree of Life?

In this teaching, Dr. Douglas Hamp connects Revelation 20, 21, and 22 and explores the possibility that these chapters are arranged thematically rather than as a simple chronological sequence.

You will discover:

• Why Satan is bound in the abyss
• Why he is released after one thousand years
• Who the people outside the New Jerusalem may be
• Why the nations rally behind Satan
• Why they surround the beloved city
• What they hope to accomplish at the open gates
• Why fire comes down from heaven and consumes them
• How the Tree of Life and Yom Kippur may fit into the final rebellion

The most shocking part of the story is not simply that Satan returns.

It is that after a thousand years of righteous rule, people still want him back.
