Revelation 19:10 “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Your testimony of Jesus was received through the spirit of prophecy. That makes you a prophet (Teachings, 269).
5
“If any person should ask me if I were a prophet, I should not deny it, as that would give me the lie; for, according to John, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy; therefore, if I profess to be a witness or teacher, and have not the spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus, I must be a false witness; but if I be a true teacher and witness, I must possess the spirit of prophesy, and that constitutes a prophet; and any man who says he is a teacher or a preacher of righteousness, and denies the spirit of prophecy, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; and by this key false teachers and imposters may be detected” (Smith, History of the Church, 5:215-16).

“Under Christ, selected agents and representatives shall sit in judgment upon specified peoples and nations. Scriptural limitations indicated that there will be a great judicial hierarchy, each judge acting in his own sphere of appointment in conformity with the eternal principles of judgment which are in Christ”…(Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, ).

Revelation 20:8 “Gog and Magog”
After the Millennium? John tells us clearly that after the Millennium, Satan shall be loosed again, and one last great battle shall be fought between the forces of good and evil. Michael the archangel (Adam) shall gather the armies of God together to do battle with Satan and his armies, and Satan and his hosts shall be defeated and cast into their own place for the rest of eternity (Doctrine & Covenants 88:110-16).
11
John calls the hosts who follow Satan, Gog and Magog
John calls the hosts who follow Satan, Gog and Magog. These terms cause some confusion, for they are also used to refer to the leader of the final battle before the Millennium begins, which is commonly called the Battle of Armageddon. The terms themselves come from Ezekiel 38, 39, where the battle of Armageddon is described in some detail. Most scholars believe that Ezekiel chose these names as symbols of great military prowess and wickedness.
12
Joseph Fielding Smith clarifies the difference between the battle of Armageddon and the battle of Gog and Magog: “Before the coming of Christ, the great war, sometimes called Armageddon, will take place as spoken of by Ezekiel, chapters Another war of Gog and Magog will be after the Millennium” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, 3:45).
13
Revelation 20:14 “Lake of fire”
The torment of disappointment in the mind of man is as exquisite as lake burning with fire a brimstone. I say, so is the torment of man” (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 6:314).
