Revelation 20

20 ¹ Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a great chain. ² He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. ³ He threw him into the abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a short time.

⁴ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of our Father, who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵ (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of our Father and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

Satan Released

⁷ When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. ^a a v8 Gog and Magog are not two literal nations but symbols, drawn from the prophet Ezekiel, for all the rebellious peoples of the earth gathered against our Father's people. ⁹ They marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from our Father out of heaven and consumed them. ¹⁰ And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. From his presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. ^b b v11 The great white throne of final judgment is our Father's throne. Every person who has ever lived stands before him. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one, according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then Death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
