Satan Bound the Thousand Years

And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.

1

Satan Bound 1,000 Years

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2

And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

2

He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

3

3

and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

4

And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

4

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

And they lived and reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years.

5

the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection.

5

But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6

Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

6

7

Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire

And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

7

Satanic Rebellion Crushed

Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison

8

and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea.

8

and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

9

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down [from God] out of the heaven and devoured them.

9

10

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[b] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Final Judgment

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them.

11

The Great White Throne Judgment

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who 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, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.

12

13

And the sea gave up the dead which [were] in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which [were] in them; and they were judged each according to their works:

13

The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

14

and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire.

And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
