Revelation 20:3-10

3and he threw him into the 1abyss and shut it and 2sealed it over him, so that he would 3not 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 4thrones, and 5they sat on them, and 6judgment was given to them. And I saw 7the souls of those who had been beheaded because of 8their 9testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not 10worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the 11mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they 12came to life and 13reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. 14This is the first resurrection. 615Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the 16second death has no power, but they will be 17priests of God and of Christ, and will 18reign with Him for a thousand years.

7When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be 19released from his prison, 8and will come out to 20deceive the nations which are at the 21four corners of the earth, 22Gog and Magog, to 23gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the 24sand of the 25seashore. 9And they 26came up on the 27broad plain of the earth and surrounded the 28camp of the 29saints and the 30beloved city, and 31fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10And 32the devil who 33deceived them was thrown into the 34lake of fire and 35brimstone, where the 36beast and the 37false prophet are also; and they will be 38tormented day and night forever and ever.
