1 John 5:16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray, and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am saying that he should pray about that.
He Should Pray and God Will Give Him Life
John refers to a type of prayer that is definitely in line with God’s desires and purposes, so we can be sure that He will answer (1 John 5:14-15). It is prayer for spiritually weak believers who need God’s grace (His undeserved favor, love, help and spiritual ability) and encouragement in a prayer are as follows:
- The person needing prayer must be a brother or sister (a believer who is still in a personal relationship with Christ) who has not deliberately defied God, rejected His truth or abandoned his or her relationship with God. That is to say, the person has not sinned in a way that has brought spiritual death and separation from God (Romans 8:13), like the false teachers of John’s day who totally rejected the truth that Jesus came and died for sin (1 John 4:2). Since the believer has not committed such sin, he or she still has spiritual life but is weak and struggling. The person is willing to admit those struggles, turn from his or her own way and submit to God, yet still needs help in conquering the power of Satan and sin.
- For struggling believers in this situation, the church must pray that God will give them “life,” which means a renewal of spiritual strength and God’s grace which is being threatened by sin (Romans 8:6; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Peter 3:7). God promises to answer that prayer and give His grace, though the person must still personally respond to God and accept His help.
- For a former believer who has committed a sin “that leads to death” (spiritual death and separation from God), the church cannot pray with absolute assurance that God will give more grace. This type of sin involves deliberately defying God and His truth and refusing to obey Him. Such a person is dead spiritually and can only be restored to life spiritually if he or she sincerely repents (Matthew 3:2) and turns back to God (Romans 8:13). We must pray that God will direct the circumstances of person’s life in such a way that he or she comes to the end of their will to resist God, turns back to Him, and is restored once more to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Your minds ... Led Astray
Some at Corinth were in great danger of being deceived by false preachers and accepting a distorted message about Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4). By accepting the teachings of these “deceitful workmen” (2 Corinthians 11:13), they were being distracted from complete devotion to Christ. This troubled Paul greatly because he, as the Corinthians’ spiritual father (2 Corinthians 6:13), had promised them “to one husband” (1 Corinthians 11:2). This refers to Christ, who is often portrayed as the groom, with the church being His bride (Matthew 9:15; John 3:29; Romans 7:4; 1 Corinthians 6:15; Ephesians 5:23-32; Revelation 19:7-9; 21:2), like a “pure virgin” who is undefiled by corrupt beliefs and false teaching (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). In our churches today, there are those who appear to be effective ministers, yet their teachings contradict God’s Word and can lead their followers toward spiritual disaster (Matthew 23:13).

Hebrews 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil –
Shared In Their Humanity
Because those whom Jesus came to save are flesh and blood (human), Jesus also had to become a human being. Only as a true human being could He Qualify to rescue the human race from Satan’s power and restore people to a right relationship with God. As fully man and fully God, Jesus was the only one capable of bridging the gap that sin had created between God and humanity. Christ died to destroy Satan’s power over those who accept Jesus’ sacrifice for themselves (1 John 3:8), and Jesus frees His followers from the fear of death (Revelation 1:18) by promising eternal life with God (John 17:3; Revelation 21 – 22). Keep in mind that Satan holds the power of death only in the sense that he entices people to go their own God-defying way and to come under sin’s penalty, which is death and separation from God (Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 5:12; 6:23). But Jesus Christ takes away that power in that He has already taken sin’s death penalty on Himself, canceling the debt of sin for all who receive Him. Jesus then empowers them to continually overcome temptation and sin (Romans 8:1-16).

Revelation 20:9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Surrounded The Camp Of God's People
The battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16; 19:19) is not the final conflict of good and evil. One last battle at the end of the millennium will seal the eternal doom of Satan and his followers. Nations will be deceived into marching against and surrounding Jerusalem, intent on being free from Christ’s rule. Like the confrontation at the beginning of the millennium, this battle is not much of a contest and the outcome is never in doubt. God will intervene, and the rebels will be destroyed by fire. His judgment will result in their total destruction.

Revelation 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth – God and Magog – to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Deceive The nations
This is the last rebellion against God in history. Many of those born during the millennium will choose to reject Christ’s authority and choose instead to believe Satan’s lies. How and why will so many be deceived into rebelling against God, even after experiencing the perfection of Christ’s reign? The fact is that human nature will be the same. Some people will likely be convinced that they have missed out on something or did not truly have freedom under Christ’s rule. People with weak commitments or insincere motives will always deny or defy God when faced with temptation. Only when people have joined Christ for eternity – changed in body and spirit – will they be rid of the sinful nature. (Note that those who were resurrected or came from heaven to reign with Christ during the millennium will be immune to Satan’s temptations. His deception will occur only among those who were born during the millennium Revelation 19:21).

Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
Satan Will Be Released
At the close of the millennium, Satan will be released.
- It seems that God will allow Satan to test those who have lived under the ideal conditions of Christ’s millennial reign. They will have opportunity to prove their allegiance to God or to follow the pull of their carnal (unspiritual) hearts and rebel against Him. Ironically, countless people (Revelation 20:8) who experienced Christ’s peace will be deceived and will join themselves with Satan and his final evil army.
- Satan himself, full of vengeance following his confinement and still deceived in believing he can yet defeat God, will be allowed to deceive those who desire to rebel against Christ’s rule. He will gather a multitude of such rebels – “like the sand on the seashore” (Revelation 20:8) to launch a final assault on God’s people.
- “Gog and Magog” (Revelation 20:8 derived from Ezekiel 38 – 39, but not necessarily a reference to the same nations) represent all the nations of the world and their spirit of rebellion against God and righteousness.
