A Thousand Years

20I saw an Angel descending out of Heaven. He carried the key to the Abyss and a chain—a huge chain.G2532G1492G32G2597G1537G3772G2192G2807G12G2532G3173G254G1909G846G5495 2He grabbed the Dragon, that old Snake—the very Devil, Satan himself!—chained him up for a thousand years,G2532G2902G1404G744G3789G3739G2076G1228G2532G4567G2532G1210G846G5507G2094 3dumped him into the Abyss, slammed it shut and sealed it tight. No more trouble out of him, deceiving the nations—until the thousand years are up. After that he has to be let loose briefly.G2532G906G846G1519G12G2532G2808G846G2808G2532G4972G1883G846G3363G4105G1484G3363G2089G891G5507G2094G5055G2532G3326G5023G846G1163G3089G3398G5550 4I saw thrones. Those put in charge of judgment sat on the thrones. I also saw the souls of those beheaded because of their witness to Jesus and the Word of God, who refused to worship either the Beast or his image, refused to take his mark on forehead or hand—they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years!G2532G1492G2362G2532G2523G1909G846G2532G2917G1325G846G2532G5590G3990G1223G3141G2424G2532G1223G3056G2316G2532G3748G4352G3756G4352G2342G3777G846G1504G2532G3756G2983G5480G1909G846G3359G2532G1909G846G5495G2532G2198G2532G936G3326G5547G5507G2094 5The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were up. This is the first resurrection—G1161G3062G3498G326G3756G326G2193G5507G2094G5055G3778G4413G386 6and those involved most blessed, most holy. No second death for them! They're priests of God and Christ; they'll reign with him a thousand years.G3107G2532G40G2192G3313G1722G4413G386G1909G5130G1208G2288G2192G3756G1849G235G2071G2409G2316G2532G5547G2532G936G3326G846G5507G2094 7When the thousand years are up, Satan will be let loose from his cell,G2532G3752G5507G2094G5055G4567G3089G1537G846G5438 8and will launch again his old work of deceiving the nations, searching out victims in every nook and cranny of earth, even Gog and Magog! He'll talk them into going to war and will gather a huge army, millions strong.G2532G1831G4105G1484G3588G1722G5064G1137G1093G1136G2532G3098G4863G846G4863G1519G4171G706G3739G5613G285G2281 9They'll stream across the earth, surround and lay siege to the camp of God's holy people, the Beloved City. They'll no sooner get there than fire will pour out of Heaven and burn them up.G2532G305G1909G4114G1093G2532G2944G3925G40G2944G2532G25G4172G2532G4442G2597G575G2316G1537G3772G2532G2719G846 10The Devil who deceived them will be hurled into Lake Fire and Brimstone, joining the Beast and False Prophet, the three in torment around the clock for ages without end.G2532G1228G4105G846G906G1519G3041G4442G2532G2303G3699G2342G2532G5578G2532G928G2250G2532G3571G1519G165G165

Judgment

11I saw a Great White Throne and the One Enthroned. Nothing could stand before or against the Presence, nothing in Heaven, nothing on earth.G2532G1492G3173G3022G2362G2532G2521G1909G846G575G3739G4383G1093G2532G3772G5343G2532G2147G3756G5117G846 12And then I saw all the dead, great and small, standing there—before the Throne! And books were opened. Then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what was written in the books, by the way they had lived.G2532G1492G3498G3398G2532G3173G2476G1799G2316G2532G975G455G2532G243G975G455G3739G2076G2222G2532G3498G2919G1537G1125G1722G975G2596G846G2041 13Sea released its dead, Death and Hell turned in their dead. Each man and woman was judged by the way he or she had lived.G2532G2281G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2288G2532G86G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2919G1538G2596G846G2041 14Then Death and Hell were hurled into Lake Fire. This is the second death—Lake Fire.G2532G2288G2532G86G906G1519G3041G4442G3778G2076G1208G2288 15Anyone whose name was not found inscribed in the Book of Life was hurled into Lake Fire.G2532G1536G2147G3756G2147G1125G1722G976G2222G906G1519G3041G4442
