The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 20
{20:1} I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of
the abyss and a great chain in his hand. {20:2} He seized the dragon,
the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole
inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, {20:3} and cast
him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were
finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time. {20:4} I saw
thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw
the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua,
and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his
image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their
hand. They lived, and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.
{20:5} The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection. {20:6} Blessed and holy is
he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second
death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Messiah,
and will reign with him one thousand years.
{20:7} And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his
prison, {20:8} and he will come out to deceive the nations which are
in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
{20:9} They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the
camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of
heaven from God, and devoured them. {20:10} The devil who deceived
them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and
the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
{20:11} I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no
place for them. {20:12} I saw the dead, the great and the small,
standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was
opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the
things which were written in the books, according to their works.
{20:13} The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and
[1>]Sheol[<1] gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged,
each one according to his works. {20:14} Death and [2>]Sheol[<2] were
thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of
fire. {20:15} If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he
was cast into the lake of fire.
