Revelation 20

1And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

2And he seized the dragon—that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan—and bound him for a thousand years,

3And he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were finished. After these things he must be released for a short time.

4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years.

5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6Blessed and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Messiah, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

7And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,

8and he will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for war, whose number is like the sand of the sea.

9And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

10And the devil, who was deceiving them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where also the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11And I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it, from whose presence the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them.

12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from what had been written in the books, according to their works.

13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each one was judged according to their deeds.

14And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

15And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
