Revelation 20
Christ’s Thousand Year Reign
20Then I saw aan angel coming down from heaven, having the bkey of the abyss and a great chain 1in his hand. 2And he laid hold of the adragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bbound him for a thousand years; 3and he threw him into the aabyss, and shut it and bsealed it over him, so that he would cnot deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were finished. After these things he must be released for a short time.
4Then I saw athrones, and bthey sat on them, and cjudgment was given to them. And I saw dthe souls of those who had been beheaded because of 1their ewitness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who also had not fworshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. aThis is the first resurrection. 6aBlessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over these the bsecond death has no authority, but they will be cpriests of God and of Christ and will dreign with Him for a thousand years.
The Defeat of Satan
7And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be areleased from his prison, 8and will come out to adeceive the nations which are in the bfour corners of the earth, cGog and Magog, to dgather them together for the war; the number of them is like the esand of the 1seashore. 9And they acame up on the 1broad plain of the earth and surrounded the bcamp of the saints and the cbeloved city, and dfire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10And athe devil who bdeceived them was thrown into the clake of fire and 1brimstone, where the dbeast and the efalse prophet are also, and they will be ftormented day and night forever and ever.
The Great White Throne Judgment
11Then I saw a great white athrone and Him who sits upon it, from whose 1presence bearth and heaven fled away, and cno place was found for them. 12Then I saw the dead, the agreat and the small, standing before the throne, and 1,bbooks were opened; and another 2book was opened, which is cthe book of life. And the dead dwere judged from the things which were written in the 3books, eaccording to their deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and adeath and Hades bgave up the dead which were in them, and they were judged, every one of them caccording to their deeds. 14Then adeath and Hades were thrown into bthe lake of fire. This is the csecond death, the lake of fire. 15And if 1anyone’s name was not found written in athe book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
