• what is NOT being said here :
•   – there is NO “heavenly Jerusalem coming down to earth , replacing the present one”,
  that is totally against prophets ;
•   – there is NO “satan and Gog attacking a beloved city – suggesting a Jerusalem on earth”;
•   – there is NO “heavenly Jerusalem with 12 gates / 12 foundations / 12 jewels” etc ;

• D)  who or what is ‘Satan’ , see bottom of index

                                                                          the 1000 years :
 
1)  starting when satan is bound :

… after the Beast with his army tried to attack Heaven , see Armageddon chapter ,
his army will lay slain upon the eastland
while the beast itself (-and his two frogs) is thrown into the fiery lake ;
now also the dragon is imprisoned – and eden paradise starts :
 
2)  eden paradise restored – and she has peace for a 1000 years :

… John sees ‘the restored eden paradise’ ,
declared as “the dwellingplace for My people – and I will dwell among them” ;

at this point , Esau went insane again ,
adding almost half a chapter (!) about his own “new Jerusalem theme”
(because he wanted to make sure that christians would link it to ‘this earthly Jerusalem’) ;
the thing however is
that prophets only mention “the restored eden land” and “the temple” upon her ,
and virtually nothing about a city in eden ;
therefore we maintained both the restored land and the temple (per Ezekiel) ,
having integrated “that eden is now in the north” – as an important theme in prophets ;

      sub 2) : but “only all the saved-souls during history” will dwell there :
      … KJV uses the term “resurrection”
      but “restoration” would cover it better – as ‘restored within her Original’ ;
      while the identification of the group of souls who is nót part of that
      may be “as the people who died during earth’s history ,
      but whose soul was not allowed to go to Heaven (-directly)”  —
      … you understand we phrase carefully
      because this type theme exceeds our Legal right … ;

3)  at the END of the 1000 years , satan [-and army] will attack eden :

… satan will NOT attack ‘some beloved city’ but “His beloved PEOPLE” ,
and ofcourse it can never be about ‘earth’ because she’s long destroyed by now ;
2.
the ‘deceiving’ :
… understood as “deceiving the demon-nations to go war against eden” ,
where the 1000 year Interval must be some type ‘Truce’ ;
it is possible that the demon-nations have some type ‘Legal right to exist’ ,
but that this right is anulled after they factually will attack eden ;
3.
eden – as ‘bridgehead’ ? :
… tricky – but probably related to the situation of the south-land
(see diagram in Ezekiel and Armageddon page, and others) ;
of this south-land ,
the eastern side is like “the outskirt of Heaven” ,
and the evil realm occupied that ‘in order to can feed upón Heaven’ 
(and , who knows , the evil realm planted their “tree of good and evil” there ,
almost like planting some kind of banner of them …?) ;
this eastern-land (-qdm) “will be holy (-qdsh) to IEUE”
after the armies of the Beast will have been slain there (as Armageddon) :
yet not holy ‘because of the slain’
but likely “because the evil realm will have lost jurisdiction over this east-land” ;

… which would make restored eden as the gate – the fortress – tó the east-land ,
hence attacking hér would be the only option left for satan and his army :
remniscent of the event in Genesis ,
but this time without success ;
4.
the ‘Gog and Magog’ problem :
… we cannot find where these terms come from – IF they are original ;
they seem to address “the demon-nations which still exist after Armageddon”,
but we neither have any idea where these would come from
(while a G-G root makes no sense nor in Spells nor Rg-veda) ;    
2 free

4)  closing : satan cast in the fiery lake ,
                          the other souls [-who died in history] judged ,
                          death itself judged

                                    sub 4) :  the ‘second death’ (but what happens with them..?)
         … though
         we do NOT agree with a concept as “universal reconciliation”,
         the last line of this chapter we are unable to restore :
         we simply do not knów whether “rejected souls will just cease to exist”,
         or if “they will burn in the lake of fire” (and that ‘together with satan’..?) ;
         … we tend to the first option ,
         also because ‘death itself will be judged ,
         but also because “burn in the lake” seems an extremely Harsh sentence to us —
         we (thankfully) just lack the Legal right to conclude anything here ;

then I see an angel going forth from Heaven ,
having the key of the abyssmal (-pit) ,                                          [<< in south-dimension]
and large chains in his hand ;
2.
and he seizes the dragon ,                                                                          [2 : see introduction]
the serpent of olden ,
which is called Satan the adversary ,
and binds him (for-) a thousand years ;
3.
then he casts him into the abyssmal (-pit) ,                                [<< ‘Dudâel’ in Henoch]
and locks it up by sealing it ;                           
so that he will not mobilize the nations [=of spirits] anymore            [<< see Greek]
until the thousand years will have ended ;
because after these (-years) he must be loosed a short time ;

then the angel brings me      +
to the sacred mountain of God ,                                                           [<< carrying paradise]
and shows me the heavenly land which was desolated ,
(now-) having ascended out of the sea [=matrix-dimension] of the beast ;
1. (!)
and I see a new sky and a new land ,                          [many corrupt KJV lines deleted ,
because the former (earthly-) sky                               see Greek text and introduction]
and the former (earthly-) land have passed away ;       
2.
and I John look at the new heavenly land ,
having been restored by God ,
now prepared as the adorned dwellingplace ;
3.
then I hear a loud voice out of Heaven saying :
behold ! , the garden of God for His people ,                                                     [<< Genesis]
where He will dwell amongst them ;
and they will be His people ,
and God himself will be the deity for them ;
4.
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes ,
and there will be no more death ,
nor sorrow , nor painful emotions , nor suffering anymore :

                                                                                                                                   [next : land + temple]
11.
then the angel shows me the foundations of the (eden-) land ,
having been made of every kind of precious stones ;                [11 : att. in prophets]

15. (!)                                                                                                                                        [15 : Ezekiel]

flowing out of the temple of God towards the east ;                                         [1 : Ezekiel]
2.
and where she deepens (?) ,
on both sides of the river are trees of life (?) ,
producing their fruits every single month ;                              [<< attested in prophets]

will not be revived [=their soul] until the thousand years have ended ,
(and these will nót take part in-) this first resurrection / restoration ;
6.
therefore , blessed be the souls        +
who will have part in this resurrection / restoration :
over these the second (-and final) death (-of the soul) has no authority ,

                                                         [part II b : after the 1000 years , satan will attack again :]
7.
now , when the thousand years will have ended ,
satan will be released out of the abyssmal pit ;
8.
and he will go forth to deceive the nations [=of spirits]
in the four corners of the sea ;                                                            [<< Negative dimension]
as mobilizing Gog (?) and Magog (?) for the war ,
whose number is like the sand of the sea ;
9.
and they will ascend (!) to the (eden-) land in the north ,                        [<< not : ‘city’ !]
as encircling the dwellingplace of the beloved people of God ;
but He will make fire out of heaven to come down upon them [=’G+M’] ,
which will devour all of them ;
10.
yet the adversary (-himself) that deceived them
will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone ,
where the beast and the two frogs (?) are ;                                        [<< no ‘false prophet’]
and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever ;

then I see a great white throne ,

who had nót been part of the first resurrection / restoration ;
13. (!)
because death and [=as?] the underworld
deliver up the souls that were in them ,         +
c.
as the people who died in former times ;
d.
for each will be judged according to her [=soul] works ;
12.
then I see the souls , small and great , standing before God ,
and the books are being opened ,
while another book is opened which is the one of Life ;
and the souls are judged according to their works
which have been written in the book ;
                                                                                                                             [closing : last line : unsure]
14-c.
and this is the second (-and final) death (-for those souls) :

whoever was not found written in the scroll of life            +
was cast into the lake of fire ,                                                                                 [+ and brimstone]

… the theme is not “the nations on earth” , therefore ‘deceiving’ falls short :
in the last part of this chapter Satan will make a final attempt to invade Eden ,
by “mobilizing (the nations of spirits)” ;
that he does this ‘by deceiving them’
may mean “that the demonic realm has a legal right to exist” ,
but not anymore if they all will go attack eden ;
