Revelation 20
Berean Literal Bible Par ▾ 

Satan Bound

1And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, having 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, and bound him a thousand years. 3And he cast him into the Abyss, and shut and sealed it over him, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years should be completed. After these things, it is necessary for him to be released for a little time.

4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who did not worship the beast nor its image, and did not receive the mark upon the forehead and upon their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years should be completed. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire

7And when the thousand years should be completed, Satan will be released out of his prison, 8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the war, of whom the number of them is like the sand of the sea.

9And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the city having been beloved. But fire came down out of heaven and devoured them. 10And the devil, the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet also are; and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of the ages.

Judgment before the Great White Throne

11And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.

And another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each of them were judged according to their works.

14And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
