Satan is loosed Revelation 20:7-10: There is a time when Satan is again given power to deceive the nations. The figure of Gog and Magog is from Ezekiel 38:1-23; Ezekiel 39:1-29. The lesson was that the strongest forces Satan could throw against God people would not overcome the faithful. Those who stay faithful can withstand Satan's strongest efforts.

Gog and Magog was a picture of God being able to sanctify Himself. He used this illustration to teach Israel that He was "the Lord their God." The illustration form Ezekiel was that God would receive His proper glory regardless of what Satan thinks he can do.
