Latter-day Saints teach, in harmony with the Bible (see Rev. 20:1-8), that there will come a time at the end of the thousand years when “men again begin to deny their God.” (D&C 29:22.) Some will choose, despite the light and truth that surround them, to come out in open rebellion against God the Father, his Beloved Son, and the plan of salvation. Satan will be loosed again “for a little season” that he might “gather together his armies.” (D&C 88:111; see also 43:31.) “Michael, the seventh angel, even the archangel, shall gather together his armies, even the hosts of heaven. And the devil shall gather together his armies; even the hosts of hell, and shall come up to battle against Michael and his armies. And then cometh the battle of the great God”—known as the Battle of Gog and Magog—“and the devil and his armies shall be cast away into their own place, and they shall not have power over the saints any more at all.” (D&C 88:112-14.) At the end of the thousand years those who will receive a telestial glory will come forth in the resurrection, as will the sons of perdition. (D&C 76:38-39; 88:15, 102.)Share
