Revelation 20:7-15
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
At the end of it, the forces of evil muster to attack God's people, but are utterly destroyed. Satan himself shares the fate of the beast and the false prophet in ' the lake of fire'.
There is a general resurrection, when everyone stands before God to be judged, each on their own record. The verdict is life or death. And for those who live there will be no more death. With regard to detail, here as in the rest of the book, it pays to be cautious. And the basic rules of interpretation.
But John records something new. The reign here is not a general one of all believers, but only of the martyrs. Nor does he actually say that this reign is on earth. And although there has been a fierce argument about the relation of the millennium to Christ's return. John in fact makes no mention of the 'second coming in this chapter.
Why?
Something is unclear, but we know there is a judge on the white throne. No one can escape from this judgment. According to what he did in the world. So be aware no matter what we are doing will be recorded in our record of life.
The end way of Satan will be in the lake of fire. And there is the second death.

一千年後,最後的大審判前,神仍然給人機會,14:6天使宣告福音,依然不是所有人悔改都信主,神還是流露出愛,給人機會沒有撒旦的引誘,人是否會選擇悔改歸主?依然沒有,當被丟入硫磺火湖時,就沒有藉口了。
11~15白色寶座的大審判,活的死的都要受審判,兩個案卷,一個是生命冊,記載在生命冊的不會被仍入硫磺火湖。日頭照義人也照歹人,大氣、陽光、水等這是神普遍的恩典。當神收回這恩典,人就沒有生存的機會。硫磺火湖是永久的痛苦,如被火燒傷的痛!

How?
We don't know what will be but one thing is confirmed that Jesus Christ is my salvation, when we obey his command with all my heart, my mind, and my strength. It is the best choice for me.
