Chapter 20

And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

And he laid hold on the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

And he cast him into the abyss, and closed and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished. And after that he must be let loose for a little while. Reign of the Saints

And I saw thrones, and men sat upon them and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the witness to Jesus and because of the word of God, and who did not worship the beast or his image, and did not accept his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The rest of the dead did not come to life till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power; but they will be priests of God and Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years. Satan Loosed

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison, and will go forth and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for the battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

and they went up over the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city.

And fire from God came down out of heaven and devoured them. And the devil who deceived them was cast into the pool of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast

and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. The Last Judgment

And I saw a great white throne and the one who sat upon it; from his face the earth and heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. And another scroll was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the scrolls, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and hell gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged each one, according to their works.

And hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death, the pool of fire.

And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the pool of fire.
