Revelation 20
1ThenG2532 I sawG3708 an angelG32 coming downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 with theG3588 keyG2807 to theG3588 AbyssG12, holdingG2192 inG1909 hisG846 handG5495 a greatG3173 chainG254. 2He seizedG2902 theG3588 dragonG1404, thatG3588 ancientG744 serpentG3789 whoG3739 isG1510 the devilG1228 andG2532 SatanG4567, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 for a thousandG5507 yearsG2094. 3AndG2532 he threwG906 himG846 intoG1519 theG3588 AbyssG12, shutG2808 it, andG2532 sealedG4972 it overG1883 himG846, so thatG2443 he could not deceiveG3361G4105G2089 theG3588 nationsG1484 untilG891 theG3588 thousandG5507 yearsG2094 were completeG5055. After thatG3326, heG846 mustG1163 be releasedG3089 for a briefG3398 period of timeG5550.
4ThenG2532 I sawG3708 the thronesG2362, andG2532 those seatedG2523 onG1909 themG846 had been givenG1325 authority to judgeG2917. AndG2532 I saw theG3588 soulsG5590 of those whoG3588 had been beheadedG3990 forG1223 their testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 andG2532 forG1223 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 those whoG3748 had not worshipedG3756G4352 theG3588 beastG2342 or itsG846 imageG1504 andG2532 had not receivedG3756G2983 its markG5480 onG1909 their foreheadsG3359 or handsG5495. AndG2532 they came to lifeG2198 andG2532 reignedG936 withG3326 ChristG5547 for a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
5TheG3588 restG3062 of theG3588 deadG3498 did notG3756 come back to lifeG2198 untilG891 theG3588 thousandG5507 yearsG2094 were completeG5055. ThisG3778 is theG3588 firstG4413 resurrectionG386. 6BlessedG3107 andG2532 holyG40 are those whoG3588 shareG2192G3313 inG1722 theG3588 firstG4413 resurrectionG386! The secondG1208 deathG2288 hasG2192 noG3756 powerG1849 overG1909 themG3778, butG235 they will beG1510 priestsG2409 of GodG2316 andG2532 of ChristG5547 andG2532 will reignG936 withG3326 HimG846 for aG3588 thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire
WhenG3752 theG3588 thousandG5507 yearsG2094 are completeG5055, SatanG4567 will be releasedG3089 fromG1537 hisG846 prisonG5438, 8andG2532 will go outG1831 to deceiveG4105 theG3588 nationsG1484 inG1722 theG3588 fourG5064 cornersG1137 of theG3588 earthG1093—GogG1136 andG2532 MagogG3098—to assemble themG4863 forG1519 battleG4171. Their numberG706 is likeG5613 theG3588 sandG285 of theG3588 seashoreG2281.
9AndG2532 they marched acrossG305G1909 theG3588 broad expanseG4114 of theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 surroundedG2944 theG3588 campG3925 of theG3588 saintsG40 andG2532 theG3588 belovedG25 cityG4172. ButG2532 fireG4442 came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG37721 andG2532 consumedG2719 themG846. 10AndG2532 theG3588 devilG1228 whoG3588 had deceivedG4105 themG846 was thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 lakeG3041 of fireG4442 andG2532 sulfurG2303, into whichG3699 theG3588 beastG2342 andG2532 theG3588 false prophetG5578 had already been thrown. There they will be tormentedG928 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165.
Judgment before the Great White Throne
11ThenG2532 I sawG3708 a greatG3173 whiteG3022 throneG2362 andG2532 theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 itG846. EarthG1093 andG2532 heavenG3772 fledG5343 fromG575 His presenceG4383, andG2532 noG3756 placeG5117 was foundG2147 for themG846. 12AndG2532 I sawG3708 theG3588 deadG3498, greatG3173 andG2532 smallG3398, standingG2476 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362.
AndG2532 booksG975 were openedG455, and one ofG243 them was theG3588 Book of LifeG2222. AndG2532 theG3588 deadG3498 were judgedG2919 according toG2596 theirG846 deedsG2041, asG1537 recordedG1125 inG1722 theG3588 booksG975. 13TheG3588 seaG2281 gave upG1325 itsG3588G1722G846 deadG3498, andG2532 DeathG2288 andG2532 HadesG86 gave upG1325 their deadG3498G3588G1722G846, andG2532 eachG1538 one was judgedG2919 according toG2596 hisG846 deedsG2041.
14ThenG2532 DeathG2288 andG2532 HadesG86 were thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 lakeG3041 of fireG4442. ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 secondG1208 deathG2288—theG3588 lakeG3041 ofG3588 fireG4442. 15AndG2532 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 was foundG2147 whose name was not writtenG1125G3756 inG1722 theG3588 BookG976 of LifeG2222, he was thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 lakeG3041 of fireG4442.
