And I saw
an angel come down from heaven, having the key of
the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
02 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years,
03 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.
04 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.
05 But the rest of the dead lived not again until
the thousand years were finished. This is the
first resurrection.
06 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.
07 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
08 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.

09 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.
