Revelation 20

1 And I saw a messenger coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain on his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon — the ancient serpent, who is the Accuser and Satan — and bound him a thousand years, [a] 3 and threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed. After these things he must be loosed a little time. [b]

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded with an axe because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and whoever did not bow down to the beast or its image and did not receive the mark on the forehead and on their hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years. [c] † 5 The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. [d] 6 Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years. [e] †

7 And whenever the thousand years are completed, Satan will be loosed out of his prison, 8 and he will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for the war, whose number is like the sand of the sea. [f] 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and they encircled the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven and ate them up. [g] 10 And the Accuser who deceives them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where both the beast and the false prophet are; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. [h] 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened; and another scroll was opened, which is of life; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls, according to their works. [i]

13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one according to their works. [j] 14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death — the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
