Revelation 20:2-7
2And he laid hold of the 1dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and 2bound him for a thousand years; 3and he threw him into the 3abyss, and shut it and 4sealed it over him, so that he would 5not 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 6thrones, and 7they sat on them, and 8judgment was given to them. And I saw 9the souls of those who had been beheaded because of 10their 11testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not 12worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the 13mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they 14came to life and 15reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. 16This is the first resurrection. 617Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the 18second death has no power, but they will be 19priests of God and of Christ and will 20reign with Him for a thousand years.
7When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be 21released from his prison,
