“1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be
loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received
[his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived
not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first
resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of
his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the
four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to
battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went
up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints
about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are],
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
“11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place
for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book]
of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written
in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in
them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:1-15 AV)
