| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit, with a large chain in his hand. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He captured the dragon, that ancient serpent, also known as the devil and Satan, and tied him up for a thousand years. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He threw him into the bottomless pit, locked it, and sealed it over him to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were over. After that, he must be set free for a little while. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came back to life and ruled with the Messiah for a thousand years. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6How blessed and holy are those who participate in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God and the Messiah, and will rule with him for a thousand years. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7When the thousand years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He will go out to deceive Gog and Magog, the nations at the four corners of the earth, and gather them for war. They are as numerous as the sands of the seashore. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They marched over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came from God out of heaven and burned them up, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were. They will be tortured day and night forever and ever. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I saw the dead, both unimportant and important, standing in front of the throne, and books were open. Another book was opened—the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their actions, as recorded in the books. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to their actions. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. (This is the second death—the lake of fire.) |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. |
