Revelation 20
The Thousand Years
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,(A) holding in his hand the key to(B) the bottomless pit[a] and a great chain. 2And he seized(C) the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and(D) bound him for a thousand years, 3and threw him into(E) the pit, and shut it and(F) sealed it over him, so that(G) he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. 4Then I saw(H) thrones, and(I) seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw(J) the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those(K) who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(L) They came to life and(M) reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6(N) Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such(O) the second death has no power, but they will be(P) priests of God and of Christ, and they(Q) will reign with him for a thousand years.The Defeat of Satan
7And when the thousand years are ended,(R) Satan will be released from his prison 8and will come out(S) to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth,(T) Gog and Magog,(U) to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9And(V) they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded(W) the camp of the saints and(X) the beloved city, but(Y) fire came down from heaven[b] and consumed them, 10and the devil(Z) who had deceived them was(AA) thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where(AB) the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.Footnotes:Revelation 20:1 Greek the abyss; also verse 3 Revelation 20:9 Some manuscripts from God, out of heaven, or out of heaven from God
