Revelation 20

¹And I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand. ²He seized the dragon—the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan—and bound him for a thousand years. ³He threw him into the abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, so that he could no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years are completed. After this, he must be released for a short time.

⁴And 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—those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead or on their hand. They came to life and reigned with the Christ for a thousand years. ⁵The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. ⁶Blessed and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him for a thousand years.

⁷When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison ⁸and will go out to lead astray the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹They marched up across the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. ¹⁰And the devil who led them astray was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet also are, and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of ages.

¹¹Then 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. ¹²And I saw the dead—the great and the small—standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. Then another scroll was opened, which is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the scrolls, according to their deeds. ¹³The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to their deeds. ¹⁴Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. ¹⁵And if anyone was not found written in the scroll of life, they were thrown into the lake of fire.
