Christ’s Thousand Year Reign

20 Then I saw ^(A)an angel coming down from heaven, having the ^(B)key of the abyss and a great chain ^[a]in his hand. ² And he laid hold of the ^(C)dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and ^(D)bound him for a thousand years; ³ and he threw him into the ^(E)abyss, and shut it and ^(F)sealed it over him, so that he would ^(G)not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were finished. After these things he must be released for a short time.

⁵ Therefore ^(A)do not go on ^[a]passing judgment before ^[b]the time, but wait ^(B)until the Lord comes who will both ^(C)bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and make manifest the motives of hearts. And then each one’s ^(D)praise will come to him from God.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷ And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be ^(A)released from his prison, ⁸ and will come out to ^(B)deceive the nations which are in 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. ⁹ And they ^(G)came up on the ^[b]broad plain of the earth and surrounded the ^(H)camp of the 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 ^[c]brimstone, where the ^(N)beast and the ^(O)false prophet are also, and they will be ^(P)tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Great White Throne Judgment

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

^9 (A)Therefore, God also ^(B)highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him ^(C)the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus ^(D)every knee will bow, of ^(E)those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and that ^(F)every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is ^[a](G)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁰ But ^(A)the day of the Lord ^(B)will come like a thief, in which ^(C)the heavens ^(D)will pass away with a roar and the ^(E)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and ^(F)the earth and ^[a]its works will be ^[b]found out.
