How do the nations at the end of the thousand years come into existence?
After the Matthew 25 judgment, Gentile survivors of the kingdom age will probably return to their original homelands and become the progenitors of the nations in full bloom at the end of the thousand years. These Gentiles multiply under Christ’s rule until Satan is loosed to deceive them.
Les explains from Revelation 20:7-9 that when the thousand years are expired, Satan is loosed out of his prison. He has been held and incapable of causing mayhem in the kingdom, but then he is set free and goes right back to his old domain, planet earth, where Christ has been ruling for a thousand years. There he goes out to deceive the nations. Les teaches that after the judgment of Matthew 25, the survivors of the kingdom age—Gentiles—will probably go back to their original homeland, and as they do, they become the progenitors of the nations that are once again in full bloom at the end of the thousand years. Satan then deceives the nations, Gog and Magog, gathering them to battle, another Armageddon so to speak. Their number is as the sand of the sea; they come up on the breadth of the earth and past the camp of the saints about the beloved city, Jerusalem. But this time God does not delay: fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours them, because this is judgment, not the age of grace.
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.
