Revelation  


20 : 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,holding in his hand the key tothe bottomless pitand a great chain.
20 : 2 And he seizedthe dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, andbound him for a thousand years,
20 : 3 and threw him intothe pit, and shut it andsealed it over him, so thathe might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
20 : 4 Then I sawthrones, andseated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I sawthe souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and thosewho had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.They came to life andreigned with Christ for a thousand years.
20 : 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.
20 : 6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over suchthe second death has no power, but they will bepriests of God and of Christ, and theywill reign with him for a thousand years.
20 : 7 And when the thousand years are ended,Satan will be released from his prison
20 : 8 and will come outto deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth,Gog and Magog,to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
20 : 9 Andthey marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surroundedthe camp of the saints andthe beloved city, butfire came down from heavenand consumed them,
20 : 10 and the devilwho had deceived them wasthrown into the lake of fire and sulfur wherethe beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
20 : 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presenceearth and sky fled away, andno place was found for them.
20 : 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, andbooks were opened. Then another book was opened, which isthe book of life. Andthe dead were judged by what was written in the books,according to what they had done.
20 : 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it,Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them,according to what they had done.
20 : 14 ThenDeath and Hadeswere thrown into the lake of fire. This isthe second death, the lake of fire.
20 : 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life,he was thrown into the lake of fire.
