Revelation 20:1-5

1Then I saw 1an angel coming down from heaven, holding the 2key of the abyss and a great chain 3in his hand. 2And he laid hold of the 4dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and 5bound him for a thousand years; 3and he threw him into the 6abyss, and shut it and 7sealed it over him, so that he would 8not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

4Then I saw 9thrones, and 10they sat on them, and 11judgment was given to them. And I saw 12the souls of those who had been beheaded because of 13their 14testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not 15worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the 16mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they 17came to life and 18reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. 19This is the first resurrection.
