Revelation 20
1And I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2And he seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, the one deceiving the whole inhabited world, and bound him for a thousand years,
3and threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him so that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years are completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and verdict was given to them, and the souls of those who had been beheaded on account of the testimony of Yeshua and on account of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand — they lived and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years.
5And the rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were completed — this is the first resurrection.
6Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; the second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of the Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
7And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison
8and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — to gather them for war, whose number is like the sand of the sea.
9And they came up over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city, and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
10And the devil who was deceiving them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where also the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11And I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and bibliа(scrolls) were opened, and another scroll was opened which is of life, and the dead were judged from what is written in the bibliа(scrolls) according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each one according to their works.
14And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire — this is the second death, the lake of fire.
15And if anyone was not found written in the scroll of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
