1 Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, with the
key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 He
seized the Dragon, the primeval Serpent (who is the ‘Devil’
or ‘Satan’), and bound him in chains for a thousand years. note
3 He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set
his seal upon it; that he should not deceive the nations any
-- --
more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he
must be let loose for a while.
4 Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats
upon them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw
the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the
testimony to Jesus and because of the Message of God, for
they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had
not received the brand on their foreheads and on their
hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the
Christ for a thousand years. note
5 (The rest of the dead were not
restored to life till the thousand years were ended.) This is
the First Resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy will he be who
shares in that First Resurrection. The second Death has
no power over them; but they will be priests of God and the
Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years. note
7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose
from his prison,
8 and he will come out to deceive the nations
that live in ‘the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog.’
He will come to gather them together for battle; and their
number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore. note
9 They
went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded
the camp of Christ's People and the beloved city. Then
fire fell from the heavens and consumed them; note
10 and the Devil,
their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur,
where the Beast and the false Prophet already were, and they
will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. note
11 Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated
on it. ‘The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no
place was left for them.’ note
12 And I saw the dead, high and
low, standing before the throne; and books were opened.
Then another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the
dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was
written in the books. note
13 The sea gave up its dead, and Death
and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and
they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. note
14 Then Death and the Lord of the Place of Death were hurled
into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death—the lake of
fire;
15 and all whose names ‘were not found written in the
Book of Life’ were hurled into the lake of fire. note
