20Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a heavy chain.G2532G1492G32G2597G1537G3772G2192G2807G12G2532G3173G254G1909G846G54952He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent - that is, the Devil, or Satan - and chained him up for a thousand years.G2532G2902G1404G744G3789G3739G2076G1228G2532G4567G2532G1210G846G5507G20943The angel threw him into the abyss, locked it, and sealed it, so that he could not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years were over. After that he must be set loose for a little while.G2532G906G846G1519G12G2532G2808G846G2808G2532G4972G1883G846G3363G4105G1484G3363G2089G891G5507G2094G5055G2532G3326G5023G846G1163G3089G3398G55504Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given the power to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been executed because they had proclaimed the truth that Jesus revealed and the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image, nor had they received the mark of the beast on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and ruled as kings with Christ for a thousand years.G2532G1492G2362G2532G2523G1909G846G2532G2917G1325G846G2532G5590G3990G1223G3141G2424G2532G1223G3056G2316G2532G3748G4352G3756G4352G2342G3777G846G1504G2532G3756G2983G5480G1909G846G3359G2532G1909G846G5495G2532G2198G2532G936G3326G5547G5507G20945(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the first raising of the dead.G1161G3062G3498G326G3756G326G2193G5507G2094G5055G3778G4413G3866Happy and greatly blessed are those who are included in this first raising of the dead. The second death has no power over them; they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they will rule with him for a thousand years.G3107G2532G40G2192G3313G1722G4413G386G1909G5130G1208G2288G2192G3756G1849G235G2071G2409G2316G2532G5547G2532G936G3326G846G5507G2094
The Defeat of Satan
7After the thousand years are over, Satan will be set loose from his prison,G2532G3752G5507G2094G5055G4567G3089G1537G846G54388and he will go out to deceive the nations scattered over the whole world, that is, Gog and Magog. Satan will bring them all together for battle, as many as the grains of sand on the seashore.G2532G1831G4105G1484G3588G1722G5064G1137G1093G1136G2532G3098G4863G846G4863G1519G4171G706G3739G5613G285G22819They spread out over the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people and the city that he loves. But fire came down from heaven and destroyed them.G2532G305G1909G4114G1093G2532G2944G3925G40G2944G2532G25G4172G2532G4442G2597G575G2316G1537G3772G2532G2719G84610Then the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.G2532G1228G4105G846G906G1519G3041G4442G2532G2303G3699G2342G2532G5578G2532G928G2250G2532G3571G1519G165G165
The Final Judgment
11Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sits on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence and were seen no more.G2532G1492G3173G3022G2362G2532G2521G1909G846G575G3739G4383G1093G2532G3772G5343G2532G2147G3756G5117G84612And I saw the dead, great and small alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened, the book of the living. The dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.G2532G1492G3498G3398G2532G3173G2476G1799G2316G2532G975G455G2532G243G975G455G3739G2076G2222G2532G3498G2919G1537G1125G1722G975G2596G846G204113Then the sea gave up its dead. Death and the world of the dead also gave up the dead they held. And all were judged according to what they had done.G2532G2281G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2288G2532G86G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2919G1538G2596G846G204114Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This lake of fire is the second death.)G2532G2288G2532G86G906G1519G3041G4442G3778G2076G1208G228815Those who did not have their name written in the book of the living were thrown into the lake of fire.G2532G1536G2147G3756G2147G1125G1722G976G2222G906G1519G3041G4442
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
