And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 20 of Revelation. When the thousand years are completed, Satan is released and again deceives the nations, symbolized by Gog and Magog, gathering them against the saints. The attack is stopped by fire descending from heaven. The devil is thrown into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet already are. The sequence insists that even after a period of restraint, Satan’s rebellion does not lead to an alternative victory: it ends definitively under God’s judgment.

Et il sortira pour séduire les nations qui sont aux quatre coins de la terre, Gog et Magog, afin de les rassembler pour la guerre; leur nombre est comme le sable de la mer.
E saliranno in su la distesa della terra, e intornieranno il campo de’ santi, e la diletta città.
E sairá a enganar as nações que estão sobre os quatro cantos da terra, Gogue e Magogue, cujo número é como a areia do mar, para as ajuntar em batalha.
