And I saw the souls of those who had been
beheaded
for their
Testimony of Jesus
and for
The
Word of God,
Satan Bound
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the
key to the Abyss,
holding in his hand a great chain.
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent
who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and
sealed it over him,
so that he could not deceive the nations
until the thousand years were complete.
After that, he must be released for a brief period of time.
Then I saw the thrones,
and those seated on them had been given
authority to judge
And I saw the souls of those who had been
beheaded for
their testimony of Jesus and
for the
word of God,
and those who
had not worshiped the beast or its image,
and had not received
its mark on their foreheads or hands
And they came to life and reigned
with
Christ for a thousand years
The rest of the dead did not come back to life until
the thousand years were complete.
This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection!
The second death has no power over them,
but they will be priests of God and of Christ,
and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire
When the thousand years are complete, Satan will be released
from his prison, and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners
of the earth—Gog and Magog—to assemble them for battle.
Their number is like the sand of the seashore.
and they marched across the broad expanse of the earth and
surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city
But fire came down from heaven-a and consumed them.
and the devil who had deceived them
was
thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur,
into which the beast and the
false prophet had already been thrown
There they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
Judgment
before the
Great White Throne
then I saw
a great white throne and the One seated on it.
Earth and heaven fled from
His presence,
and no place was found for them.
and I saw the dead, great and small,
standing
before the throne
And there were open books, and one of them
was
The Book of Life
And the dead were judged according to their deeds,
as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead,
and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one
was judged according to his deeds.
Then Death and Hades were thrown
into
the lake of fire
This is the second death—the lake of fire.
And if anyone was found whose name was
not
written
in the
Book of Life,
he was
thrown into the lake of fire
