Hi Marques,......that scripture I quoted about Greedy men was taken from either KJV or the American Standard version I remember it specifically, and it says , That Satan will be loosed for a short time after the reign of Christ to gather the nations, that the Gog and the Magog will go up against the beloved city and that they could be saved but their hearts were greedy and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.Perhaps an incorrect translation but then again I am not a scholar and not responsible for poor interpretations. I only know what I read. You guys must have a different bible than mine.
Gallenwalsh,
When you ask a question or series of questions, please post the exact Actual verses of Scripture you are referring to. I see no place where any of the translations you quoted KJV & ASV have any such wording. Are you using another translation also, i use many different Bibles and still need repeated readings plus cross reference the Greek or Hebrew/Aramaic (which i have to depend on concordances to explain) to get a better sense of the chapter (parables).

Rev 20:7 And, as soon as the thousand years, shall be ended, the Accuser shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 and will go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, the Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the battle—the number of whom, is as the sand of the sea.
