Judgment Before the Great White Throne. And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them [for this heaven and earth are passing away]. [Isa_51:6; Mat_24:35; 2Pe_3:10-12]
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]. [Jer_17:10; Rom_2:6]

36. How is the final judgment described?
THE DEFEAT OF SATAN
And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison (the abyss),
and will come out to deceive and mislead the nations which are in the four corners of the earth–[including] Gog and Magog–to gather them together for the war; their number is like the sand of the seashore. [Eze_38:2; Eze_39:1, Eze_39:6]
And they swarmed up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints (God’s people) and the beloved city [Jerusalem]; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them. [2Ki_1:10-12; Eze_38:2, Eze_38:22]
And the devil who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone (sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.
JUDGMENT BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them [for this heaven and earth are passing away]. [Isa_51:6; Mat_24:35; 2Pe_3:10-12]
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]. [Jer_17:10; Rom_2:6]
And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them; and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds.
Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God]. [Mat_25:41; 1Co_15:26]
And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:7-15
BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
Gog and Magog take us back to Gen_10:2; see also Eze_38:1-23; Eze_39:1-29. It would seem that this great confederacy of the northern nations against the beloved city, Jerusalem, will be led by Satan, and overwhelmed once and for all by the direct judgment of God.
The final judgment is depicted in Rev_20:11-15. God’s people will not appear at that bar. All the human family will be arraigned, save those whose names are in the book of life, Joh_5:24. See Exo_32:32; Dan_12:1; Php_4:3; and Rev_21:27. Death and Hades will surrender their contents. What a marvelous audience! The throne is great, because of the destinies to be decided; and white, because of the immaculate purity of the Judge, who will be none other than our Lord. See Joh_5:22; Act_17:31. The books will surely include conscience; Rom_2:15-16; God’s Word, Joh_12:48; and the tablets of memory, Luk_16:25.
