Revelation 20

The Thousand Years

    ¹Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,^(A) holding in his hand the key to^(B) the bottomless pit^[a] and a great chain. ²And he seized^(C) the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and^(D) bound him for a thousand years, ³and threw him into^(E) the pit, and shut it and^(F) sealed it over him, so that^(G) he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

    ⁴Then I saw^(H) thrones, and^(I) seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw^(J) the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those^(K) who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.^(L) They came to life and^(M) reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. ^6(N) Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such^(O) the second death has no power, but they will be^(P) priests of God and of Christ, and they^(Q) will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

    ⁷And when the thousand years are ended,^(R) Satan will be released from his prison ⁸and will come out^(S) to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth,^(T) Gog and Magog,^(U) to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹And^(V) they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded^(W) the camp of the saints and^(X) the beloved city, but^(Y) fire came down from heaven^[b] and consumed them, ¹⁰and the devil^(Z) who had deceived them was^(AA) thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where^(AB) the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

    ¹¹Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence^(AC) earth and sky fled away, and^(AD) no place was found for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and^(AE) books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is^(AF) the book of life. And^(AG) the dead were judged by what was written in the books,^(AH) according to what they had done. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it,^(AI) Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them,^(AJ) according to what they had done. ¹⁴Then^(AK) Death and Hades^(AL) were thrown into the lake of fire. This is^(AM) the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life,^(AN) he was thrown into the lake of fire.
