What lie will Satan use to deceive people after he is released?
After the thousand years, Satan is released and deceives the multitudes with the lie: 'Granted you've had it good, but wouldn't you rather be like God?' The people fall for it, their rebellion mounts, and God then destroys them. This deception leads to a final rebellion that God quickly ends.
Les explains that after the thousand-year millennium, Satan is released for a little while. The exact length is unknown, but in God's timing it could be several years. During that short period, Satan deceives the multitudes with the lie: 'Granted you've had it good, but wouldn't you rather be like God?' The people fall for it. As their rebellion mounts, God moves in, and they are simply zapped off the scene by fire from heaven and devoured. Then the devil that deceived them is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the antichrist and the false prophets—the religious and political leaders—are still there, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. This shows there is no annihilation; it is a continuing thing.
