Revelation 20:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will emerge to lead astray the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—in order to gather them for battle. They are as numerous as the sands of the sea.[a]
9 They marched across the breadth of the earth[b] and laid siege to the camp of the saints and the beloved city. However, fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
