Satan Bound

¹ Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key to the abyss^(C1) and a great chain^(C2) in his hand. ² He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan,^(F1)(C1) and bound^(C2) him for a thousand years. ³ He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it^(C1) so that he would no longer deceive the nations^(C2) until the thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.

The Saints Reign with Christ

⁴ Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge.^(C1) I also saw the souls of those^(C2) who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus^(C3) and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands.^(C4) They came to life^(C5) and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.^{(C6) 5} The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.

This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed^(C1) and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death^(C2) has no power^(F1) over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.^(C3)

Satanic Rebellion Crushed

⁷ When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will go out to deceive the nations^(C1) at the four corners of the earth,^(C2) Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle.^(C3) Their number is like the sand of the sea.^{(C4) 9} They came up across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the saints, the beloved city.^(C1) Then fire came down from heaven^(F1) and consumed them.^{(C2) 10} The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are,^(C1) and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.^(C2)

The Great White Throne Judgment

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and one seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.^{(C1) 12} I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.^(C1) Another book was opened, which is the book of life,^(C2) and the dead were judged according to their works^(C3) by what was written in the books. ¹³ Then the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades^(C1) gave up the dead that were in them; each one was judged according to their works. ¹⁴ Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.^(C1) This is the second death, the lake of fire.^{(F1) 15} And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
