Revelation 20:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]And when the [b]thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 [c]And shall go out to deceive the people, which are in the four quarters of the earth: even (A)Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the Sea.
9 And they went up into the [d]plain of the earth, and they compassed the tents of the Saints about, and the beloved city: but [e]fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
