Then I saw
aan angel
coming
down
from heaven
, holding
the bkey
of the abyss
and a great
chain
1in his hand
.
And he laid hold
of the adragon
, the serpent
of old
, who
is the devil
and Satan
, and bbound
him for a thousand
years
;
and he threw him into the aabyss
, and shut
it and bsealed
it over
him, so
that he would cnot deceive
the nations
any
longer
, until
the thousand
years
were completed
; after
these
things
he must
be released
for a short
time
.
Then I saw
athrones
, and bthey sat
on them, and cjudgment
was given
to them. And I saw dthe souls
of those
who had been beheaded
because
of 1their etestimony
of Jesus
and because
of the word
of God
, and those who
had not fworshiped
the beast
or
his image
, and had not received
the gmark
on their forehead
and on their hand
; and they hcame to life
and ireigned
with Christ
for a thousand
years
.
The rest of the dead
did not come to life
until
the thousand
years
were completed
. aThis
is the first
resurrection
.
aBlessed and holy
is the one who has
a part
in the first
resurrection
; over
these
the bsecond
death
has
no
power
, but they will be cpriests
of God
and of Christ
and will dreign
with Him for a thousand
years
.
When the thousand
years
are completed
, Satan
will be areleased
from his prison
,
and will come out to adeceive
the nations
which are in the bfour
corners
of the earth
, cGog
and Magog
, to dgather
them together
for the war
; the number
of them is like
the esand
of the 1seashore
.
And they acame up on the 1broad
plain
of the earth
and surrounded
the bcamp
of the 2saints
and the cbeloved
city
, and dfire
came
down
from heaven
and devoured
them.
And athe devil who adeceived
them was thrown
into the blake
of fire
and 1brimstone
, where
the cbeast
and the cfalse
prophet
are also
; and they will be dtormented
day
and night
forever
and ever
.
Then I saw
a great
white
athrone
and Him who sat
upon it, from whose
1presence
bearth
and heaven
fled
away
, and cno
place
was found
for them.
And I saw the dead
, the agreat
and the small
, standing
before
the throne
, and 1 bbooks
were opened
; and another
2book
was opened
, which
is cthe book of life
; and the dead
awere judged
from the things which were written
in the 1books
, daccording
to their deeds
.
And the sea gave
up the dead
which were in it, and adeath
and Hades
bgave
up the dead
which were in them; and they were judged
, every
one
of them caccording
to their deeds
.
Then adeath
and Hades
were thrown
into bthe lake
of fire
. This
is the csecond
death
, the lake
of fire
.
And if 1anyone's
name was not found
written
in athe book
of life
, he was thrown
into the lake
of fire
.
