The Thousand Years

20Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a heavy chain.G2532G1492G32G2597G1537G3772G2192G2807G12G2532G3173G254G1909G846G5495
2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent - that is, the Devil, or Satan - and chained him up for a thousand years.G2532G2902G1404G744G3789G3739G2076G1228G2532G4567G2532G1210G846G5507G2094
3The 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.G2532G906G846G1519G12G2532G2808G846G2808G2532G4972G1883G846G3363G4105G1484G3363G2089G891G5507G2094G5055G2532G3326G5023G846G1163G3089G3398G5550
4Then 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.G2532G1492G2362G2532G2523G1909G846G2532G2917G1325G846G2532G5590G3990G1223G3141G2424G2532G1223G3056G2316G2532G3748G4352G3756G4352G2342G3777G846G1504G2532G3756G2983G5480G1909G846G3359G2532G1909G846G5495G2532G2198G2532G936G3326G5547G5507G2094
5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the first raising of the dead.G1161G3062G3498G326G3756G326G2193G5507G2094G5055G3778G4413G386
6Happy 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,G2532G3752G5507G2094G5055G4567G3089G1537G846G5438
8and 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.G2532G1831G4105G1484G3588G1722G5064G1137G1093G1136G2532G3098G4863G846G4863G1519G4171G706G3739G5613G285G2281
9They 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.G2532G305G1909G4114G1093G2532G2944G3925G40G2944G2532G25G4172G2532G4442G2597G575G2316G1537G3772G2532G2719G846
10Then 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.G2532G1492G3173G3022G2362G2532G2521G1909G846G575G3739G4383G1093G2532G3772G5343G2532G2147G3756G5117G846
12And 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.G2532G1492G3498G3398G2532G3173G2476G1799G2316G2532G975G455G2532G243G975G455G3739G2076G2222G2532G3498G2919G1537G1125G1722G975G2596G846G2041
13Then 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.G2532G2281G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2288G2532G86G1325G3498G3588G1722G846G2532G2919G1538G2596G846G2041
14Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This lake of fire is the second death.)G2532G2288G2532G86G906G1519G3041G4442G3778G2076G1208G2288
15Those who did not have their name written in the book of the living were thrown into the lake of fire.G2532G1536G2147G3756G2147G1125G1722G976G2222G906G1519G3041G4442
