1 | And I saw an angel come down from heaven , having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand . |
2 | And he laid hold on the dragon , that old serpent , which is the Devil , and Satan , and bound him a thousand years , |
3 | And cast him into the bottomless pit , and shut him up , and set a seal upon him , that he should deceive the nations no more , till the thousand years should be fulfilled : and after that he must be loosed a little season . |
4 | And I saw thrones , and they sat upon them , and judgment was given unto them : and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus , and for the word of God , and which had not worshipped the beast , neither his image , neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads , or in their hands ; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years . |
5 | But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished . This [is] the first resurrection . |
6 | Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection : on such the second death hath no power , but they shall be priests of God and of Christ , and shall reign with him a thousand years . |
7 | And when the thousand years are expired , Satan shall be loosed out of his prison , |
8 | And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth , Gog and Magog , to gather them together to battle : the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea . |
9 | And they went up on the breadth of the earth , and compassed the camp of the saints about , and the beloved city : and fire came down from God out of heaven , and devoured them . |
10 | And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone , where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever . |
11 | And I saw a great white throne , and him that sat on it , from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away ; and there was found no place for them . |
12 | And I saw the dead , small and great , stand before God ; and the books were opened : and another book was opened , which is [the book] of life : and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books , according to their works . |
13 | And the sea gave up the dead which were in it ; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them : and they were judged every man according to their works . |
14 | And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire . This is the second death . |
15 | And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire . |
