Revelation 20

The devil is currently on a short leash, allowing the gospel to reach the nations, while believers who die reign with Christ in heaven. Satan will one day be released to halt the gospel's advance and gather the nations against the church, but his final defeat is certain. At the final judgement, no-one who has trusted in Christ will be shamed or condemned, but will be publicly vindicated.
