29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(A) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(B) 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(C) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(D) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(E) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(F) and with the trumpet call of God,(G) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(H) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(I) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(J) to meet the Lord in the air.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I saw thrones(A) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(B) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(C) because of their testimony about Jesus(D) and because of the word of God.(E) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(F) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(G) They came to life and reigned(H) with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.(I) Blessed(J) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death(K) has no power over them, but they will be priests(L) of God and of Christ and will reign with him(M) for a thousand years.

The Judgment of Satan

When the thousand years are over,(N) Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations(O) in the four corners of the earth(P)—Gog and Magog(Q)—and to gather them for battle.(R) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(S) They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(T) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(U) But fire came down from heaven(V) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(W) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(X) where the beast(Y) and the false prophet(Z) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(AA)

The Judgment of the Dead

11 Then I saw a great white throne(AB) and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,(AC) and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,(AD) standing before the throne, and books were opened.(AE) Another book was opened, which is the book of life.(AF) The dead were judged(AG) according to what they had done(AH) as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades(AI) gave up the dead(AJ) that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.(AK) 14 Then death(AL) and Hades(AM) were thrown into the lake of fire.(AN) The lake of fire is the second death.(AO) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life(AP) was thrown into the lake of fire.

  1. Revelation 20:4 Or God; I also saw those who

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
