Bible Question (short): WHO are the "nations?" |
Question (full): After reading the previous thread on this verse I still have a question about the "nations." Since this event follows the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth, WHO are these "nations?" WHO survived the great wrath of God and the great battle decribed in Rev 19:17-21? Let's identify WHO is on the earth during Christ's reign, can we reason that the "nations" of Rev 20:8 come from these? WHO has the capacity to choose to rebel against Christ at this point in time? Certainly not the resurrected saints (Rev 20:4-6)! So who is left? |
