Therefore, Satan being bound, and unable to deceive anybody, the gospel having no opposition, and having a thousand years to work untrammeled, in the very nature of the case all will accept the blessedness of the gospel, and the world must become converted. That appears very plausible,
Q: but is it true?
A: We think not, and that for many reason which the Scriptures show, some of which we shall give.
It is true that the devil is to be bound a thousand years. 
It is true that he is to have no power to deceive till the thousand years shall be fulfilled.
And it is just as certainly true that when the thousand years are expired, he does have power to deceive the nations.
And he does deceive them, to that extent that he gathers them to battle against the City of God, and fire comes down out of Heaven and devours them.
Let us read the scripture on this: Revelation 20:1
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in His hand.
2 And He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.
8 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.
8 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.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
That is a straightforward story.
It needs no addition.
It says plainly that
--Satan does not deceive the nations for a thousand years,
--and then when the thousand years are expired he does deceive them.
**Now it seems rather incongruous to claim that the world will all be converted during the thousand years, only to be deceived by the devil.
The doctrine of the conversion of the world is a fraud, and the preaching of it a deception and a snare.
Jeremiah 23:16
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you; they make you vain; the speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise Me, The Lord has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart.
They will seek, but will not strive.
They will seek, but will not strive.
They will go in the way to destruction
because the way to life is so strait.
And, Luke 13:25
When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to
the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence you are.
27 ...depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
And to those who preach, or promise, or prophesy these things, the Bible says that they...

Jeremiah 23:16 ...speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
