Satan Freed and Doomed

When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be (A)released from his prison, and will come out to (B)deceive the nations which are at the (C)four corners of the earth, (D)Gog and Magog, to (E)gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the (F)sand of the [a]seashore. And they (G)came up on the [b]broad plain of the earth and surrounded the (H)camp of the [c]saints and the (I)beloved city, and (J)fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And (K)the devil who (L)deceived them was thrown into the (M)lake of fire and [d]brimstone, where the (N)beast and the (O)false prophet are also; and they will be (P)tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment at the Throne of God

11 Then I saw a great white (Q)throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose [e]presence (R)earth and heaven fled, and (S)no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the (T)great and the small, standing before the throne, and [f](U)books were opened; and another [g]book was opened, which is (V)the book of life; and the dead (W)were judged from the things which were written in the [h]books, (X)according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and (Y)Death and Hades (Z)gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them (AA)according to their deeds. 14 Then (AB)Death and Hades were thrown into (AC)the lake of fire. This is the (AD)second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if [i]anyone’s name was not found written in (AE)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The Judgment of Satan

When the thousand years are over,(A) Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations(B) in the four corners of the earth(C)—Gog and Magog(D)—and to gather them for battle.(E) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(F) They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(G) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(H) But fire came down from heaven(I) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(J) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(K) where the beast(L) and the false prophet(M) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(N)

The Judgment of the Dead

11 Then I saw a great white throne(O) and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,(P) and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,(Q) standing before the throne, and books were opened.(R) Another book was opened, which is the book of life.(S) The dead were judged(T) according to what they had done(U) as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades(V) gave up the dead(W) that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.(X) 14 Then death(Y) and Hades(Z) were thrown into the lake of fire.(AA) The lake of fire is the second death.(AB) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life(AC) was thrown into the lake of fire.
