Why does Les teach that the survivors of the kingdom age go back to their original homelands after the Matthew 25 judgment?
The survivors of Matthew 25, who are Gentiles, probably return to their original homelands so they can become the progenitors of the nations. Those nations will be in full bloom by the end of the thousand years, when Satan is loosed and deceives them.
Les explains that after the judgment of Matthew 25, the survivors of the kingdom age will probably go back to their original homeland. Those survivors are Gentiles. As they return to their original homeland, they will be the progenitors of the nations that are once again in full bloom at the end of the thousand years. This connects to Revelation 20, where when the thousand years are expired, Satan is loosed out of his prison and goes right back to his old domain, planet earth, where Christ has been ruling for a thousand years. He goes out to deceive the nations, Gog and Magog, and gathers them together to battle—another battle of Armageddon, so to speak. Their number is as the sand of the sea. They come from every nation on earth and surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city, Jerusalem. But this time God does not delay; fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours them. Les notes that grace will not be operating here; this is judgment.
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
