The First Resurrection
Gog of Magog Battle for Jerusalem
| Revelation 20:1 20 I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand. | Ezekiel 43:2 2 I saw the glory of the Elohim of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the sound of rushing water, and the earth was shining because of his glory. Isaiah 14:15 15 But you’ve been brought down to Sheol, to the deepest part of the pit. Revelation 9:1-2 9 When the fifth angel blew his trumpet, I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky. The star was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 It opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke came out of the shaft like the smoke from a large furnace. The smoke darkened the sun and the air. Revelation 9:11 11 The king who ruled them was the angel from the bottomless pit. In Hebrew he is called Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. Revelation 11:7 7 When the witnesses finish their testimony, the beast which comes from the bottomless pit will fight them, conquer them, and kill them. Revelation 17:8 8 “You saw the beast which once was, is no longer, and will come from the bottomless pit and go to its destruction. Those living on earth, whose names were not written in the Book of Life when the world was created, will be surprised when they see the beast because it was, is no longer, and will come again. |
| Revelation 20:2 2 He overpowered the serpent, that ancient snake, named Devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1,000 years. | Genesis 3:1 3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made. He asked the woman, “Did Elohim really say, ‘You must never eat the fruit of any tree in the garden’?” 2 Peter 2:4 4 God didn’t spare angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, where he has secured them with chains of darkness and is holding them for judgment. Jude 6 6 He held angels for judgment on the great day. They were held in darkness, bound by eternal chains. These are the angels who didn’t keep their position of authority but abandoned their assigned place. |
| Revelation 20:3 3 He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were over. After that it must be set free for a little while. | Daniel 6:17 17 A stone was brought and placed over the opening of the den. The king put his seal on the stone, using his ring and the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation could not be changed. Matthew 16:19 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you imprison, God will imprison. And whatever you set free, God will set free.” Matthew 27:66 66 So they went to secure the tomb. They placed a seal on the stone and posted the soldiers on guard duty. |
| The Resurrection | |
| Revelation 20:4 4 I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were allowed to judge. Then I saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off because of their testimony about Yeshua and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue and were not branded on their foreheads or hands. They lived and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years. | Psalm 90:4 4 Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday—already past— like an hour in the night. Ecclesiastes 6:6 6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? Daniel 7:9 9 I watched until thrones were set up and the Ancient One, who has lived for endless years, sat down. His clothes were as white as snow and the hair on his head was like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. Daniel 7:22 22 It did this until the Ancient One, who has lived for endless years, came and judged in favor of the holy people of the Elyonin. The time came when the holy people took possession of the kingdom. Daniel 7:24 24 The ten horns are ten kings that will rise to power from that kingdom. Another king will rise to power after them. He will be different from the kings who came before him, and he will humble three kings. Daniel 9:22 22 He informed me, “Daniel, this time I have come to give you insight. Daniel 9:27 27 He will confirm his promise with many for one set of seven time periods. In the middle of the seven time periods, he will stop the sacrifices and food offerings. This will happen along with disgusting things that cause destruction until those time periods come to an end. It has been determined that this will happen to those who destroy the city.” Matthew 19:28 28 Yeshua said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 14:19 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. 1 Corinthians 6:2 2 Don’t you know that God’s people will judge the world? So if you’re going to judge the world, aren’t you capable of judging insignificant cases? Ephesians 2:6 6 God has brought us back to life together with Christ Yeshua and has given us a position in heaven with him. Ephesians 4:23 23 However, you were taught to have a new attitude. Philippians 2:5 5 Have the same attitude that Christ Yeshua had. 2 Peter 3:8 8 Dear friends, don’t ignore this fact: One day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. Revelation 14:8-11 8 Another angel, a second one, followed him, and said, “Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen! She has made all the nations drink the wine of her passionate sexual sins.” 9 Another angel, a third one, followed them, and said in a loud voice, “Whoever worships the beast or its statue, whoever is branded on his forehead or his hand, 10 will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured unmixed into the cup of God’s anger. Then he will be tortured by fiery sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the lamb. 11 The smoke from their torture will go up forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast or its statue, or for anyone branded with its name.” |
| Revelation 20:5 5 The rest of the dead did not live until the 1,000 years ended. This is the first time that people come back to life. | Ezekiel 37:10-14 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath entered them. Then they came to life and stood on their feet. There were enough of them to form a very large army. 11 Yahweh also said to me, “Son of man, all the people of Israel are like these bones. The people say, ‘Our bones are dry, and our hope has vanished. We are completely destroyed.’ 12 So prophesy. Tell them, ‘This is what Adonay Yahweh says: My people, I will open your graves and take you out of them. I will bring you to Israel. 13 Then, my people, you will know that I am Yahweh, because I will open your graves and bring you out of your graves. 14 I will put my Ruach in you, and you will live. I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken, and I have done it, declares Yahweh.’” Luke 14:14 14 Then you will be blessed because they don’t have any way to pay you back. You will be paid back when those who have God’s approval come back to life.” Philippians 3:11 11 with the confidence that I’ll come back to life from the dead. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 16 The Lord will come from heaven with a command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the dead who believed in Christ will come back to life. |
| Revelation 20:6 6 Blessed and holy are those who are included the first time that people come back to life. The second death has no power over them. They will continue to be priests of God and Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years. | 1 Peter 2:9 9 However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. |
| Revelation 20:7 7 When 1,000 years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison. Read full chapter | Matthew 18:18 18 I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you imprison, God will imprison. And whatever you set free, God will set free. |
| The Battle of Gog and Magog | |

Ezekiel 38:6 6 Gomer will come with all its troops and with the nation of Togarmah from the far north. There will be many armies with you. Ezekiel 39:1 39 The Lord said, “Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Tell it, ‘This is what Adonay Yahweh says: I am against you, Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Ezekiel 39:6 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am Yahweh. Isaiah 34:2 2 Yahweh is angry with all the nations. He is furious with all their armies. He has claimed them for destruction. He has handed them over to be slaughtered. Zechariah 12:3 3 On that day I will make Jerusalem a stone too heavy for all the nations to lift. All who try to lift it will be severely injured. All the nations in the world will gather to fight against Jerusalem.” Joel 2:2 2 It is a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and overcast skies. A large and mighty army will spread over the mountains like the dawn.[a] Nothing like this has ever happened. Nothing like this will ever happen again. Matthew 24:30 30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory. Hebrews 11:12 12 Abraham was as good as dead.

| Revelation 20:9 9 I saw that they spread over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s holy people and the beloved city. Fire came from heaven and burned them up. | Deuteronomy 23:14 14 Yahweh your Elohim moves around in your camp to protect you and hand your enemies over to you. So your camp must always be holy. This way, Yahweh will never see anything offensive among you and turn away from you. Psalm 18:13 13 Yahweh thundered in the heavens. Elyon made his voice heard with hailstones and lightning.

Your troops and the many armies will be with you. Ezekiel 38:16 16 You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the days to come, I will let you attack my land so that nations will know me. I will use you for my holy purpose as they watch. Ezekiel 38:22 22 I will punish Gog with plagues and death. I will send rainstorms, large hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur on his troops and on the many armies with him. Ezekiel 39:6 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am Yahweh. Daniel 7:9-10 9 I watched until thrones were set up and the Ancient One, who has lived for endless years, sat down. His clothes were as white as snow and the hair on his head was like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. 10 A river of fire flowed. It came from him.Thousands and thousands served him. Ten thousand times ten thousand were stationed in front of him. The court convened, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:25 25 He will speak against the Elyonin, oppress the holy people of the Illah-ah, and plan to change the appointed times and laws. The holy people will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half of a time. Zechariah 14:2 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people in the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people won’t be taken from the city. Luke 21:20 20 “When you see armies camped around Jerusalem, realize that the time is near for it to be destroyed. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 7 It is also right for God to give all of us relief from our suffering. He will do this when the Lord Yeshua is revealed, coming from heaven with his mighty angels in a blazing fire. 8 He will take revenge on those who refuse to acknowledge God and on those who refuse to respond to the Good News about our Lord Yeshua. |

Behind it flames are blazing. In front of it the land is like the garden of Eden. Behind it the land is like a barren desert. Nothing escapes it! |
| Revelation 20:11 11 I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence, but no place was found for them. | Daniel 2:35 35 Then all at once, the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were smashed. They became like husks on a threshing floor[a] in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain which filled the whole world.
