﻿Revelation.
Chapter 20.
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 
He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 
He threw him into the abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him so that he would deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were completed. After these things he must be released for a little while. 
Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because 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 or on their hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 
Blessed and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years. 
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison 
and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. 
They went up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 
The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 
Then I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from his face, and no place was found for them. 
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their works. 
The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead in them. Each was judged according to their works. 
Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 
Anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
