1. Invest in God’s Word daily.

According to Scripture, only two things are eternal: God’s Word (Isaiah 40:8) and people (Revelation 22:5). You can invest in both by making the study of God’s Word a regular part of your life if you haven’t already. In addition to the personal spiritual growth you’ll receive, when you are being changed by the Word, chances are others are being impacted eternally, as well. How do you invest in God’s Word? By studying it, applying it, memorizing it, teaching it, and allowing it to transform your life.

As you grow in your love for God’s Word, make it a goal to visit some of your favorite locations or sites found in the Bible. Then, learn as much as you can about them and offer to teach a Bible study or Sunday School class at your church on them, or just share what you learned with others who would be fascinated with your Bible-come-to-life experiences.

Revelation 20:7-10

7 When 1,000 years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison. 8 He will go out to deceive Gog and Magog, the nations in the four corners of the earth, and gather them for war. They will be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore. 9 ⌞I saw that⌟ they spread over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s holy people and the beloved city. Fire came from heaven and burned them up. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were also thrown. They will be tortured day and night forever and ever.

Revelation 20:7-10 describes the final confrontation between God and Satan, symbolizing the ultimate defeat of evil and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.

In these verses, after a thousand years of peace during Christ's reign, Satan is released from his imprisonment in the abyss.
