Revelation 20:4-9

4Then I saw 1thrones, and 2they sat on them, and 3judgment was given to them. And I saw 4the souls of those who had been beheaded because of 5their 6testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not 7worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the 8mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they 9came to life and 10reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. 11This is the first resurrection. 612Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the 13second death has no power, but they will be 14priests of God and of Christ, and will 15reign with Him for a thousand years.

7When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be 16released from his prison, 8and will come out to 17deceive the nations which are at the 18four corners of the earth, 19Gog and Magog, to 20gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the 21sand of the 22seashore. 9And they 23came up on the 24broad plain of the earth and surrounded the 25camp of the 26saints and the 27beloved city, and 28fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
