ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 20
1550 Stephanus New Testament
20 και ειδον αγγελον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου εχοντα την κλειδα της αβυσσου και αλυσιν μεγαλην επι την χειρα αυτου
2 και εκρατησεν τον δρακοντα τον οφιν τον αρχαιον ος εστιν διαβολος και σατανας και εδησεν αυτον χιλια ετη
3 και εβαλεν αυτον εις την αβυσσον και εκλεισεν αυτον και εσφραγισεν επανω αυτου ινα μη πλανηση τα εθνη ετι αχρι τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη και μετα ταυτα δει αυτον λυθηναι μικρον χρονον
4 και ειδον θρονους και εκαθισαν επ αυτους και κριμα εδοθη αυτοις και τας ψυχας των πεπελεκισμενων δια την μαρτυριαν ιησου και δια τον λογον του θεου και οιτινες ου προσεκυνησαν τω θηριω ουτε την εικονα αυτου και ουκ ελαβον το χαραγμα επι το μετωπον αυτων και επι την χειρα αυτων και εζησαν και εβασιλευσαν μετα χριστου τα χιλια ετη
5 οι δε λοιποι των νεκρων ουκ ανεζησαν εως τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη αυτη η αναστασις η πρωτη
6 μακαριος και αγιος ο εχων μερος εν τη αναστασει τη πρωτη επι τουτων ο θανατος ο δευτερος ουκ εχει εξουσιαν αλλ εσονται ιερεις του θεου και του χριστου και βασιλευσουσιν μετ αυτου χιλια ετη
7 και οταν τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη λυθησεται ο σατανας εκ της φυλακης αυτου
8 και εξελευσεται πλανησαι τα εθνη τα εν ταις τεσσαρσιν γωνιαις της γης τον γωγ και τον μαγωγ συναγαγειν αυτους εις πολεμον ων ο αριθμος ως η αμμος της θαλασσης
9 και ανεβησαν επι το πλατος της γης και εκυκλωσαν την παρεμβολην των αγιων και την πολιν την ηγαπημενην και κατεβη πυρ απο του θεου εκ του ουρανου και κατεφαγεν αυτους
10 και ο διαβολος ο πλανων αυτους εβληθη εις την λιμνην του πυρος και θειου οπου το θηριον και ο ψευδοπροφητης και βασανισθησονται ημερας και νυκτος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων
11 και ειδον θρονον λευκον μεγαν και τον καθημενον επ αυτου ου απο προσωπου εφυγεν η γη και ο ουρανος και τοπος ουχ ευρεθη αυτοις
12 και ειδον τους νεκρους μικρους και μεγαλους εστωτας ενωπιον του θεου και βιβλια ηνεωχθησαν και βιβλιον αλλο ηνεωχθη ο εστιν της ζωης και εκριθησαν οι νεκροι εκ των γεγραμμενων εν τοις βιβλιοις κατα τα εργα αυτων
13 και εδωκεν η θαλασσα τους εν αυτη νεκρους και ο θανατος και ο αδης εδωκαν τους εν αυτοις νεκρους και εκριθησαν εκαστος κατα τα εργα αυτων
14 και ο θανατος και ο αδης εβληθησαν εις την λιμνην του πυρος ουτος εστιν ο δευτερος θανατος
15 και ει τις ουχ ευρεθη εν τη βιβλω της ζωης γεγραμμενος εβληθη εις την λιμνην του πυρος

Il regno dei mille anni
20 Vidi poi un angelo che scendeva dal cielo con la chiave dell'Abisso e una gran catena in mano. 2 Afferrò il dragone, il serpente antico - cioè il diavolo, satana - e lo incatenò per mille anni; 3 lo gettò nell'Abisso, ve lo rinchiuse e ne sigillò la porta sopra di lui, perché non seducesse più le nazioni, fino al compimento dei mille anni. Dopo questi dovrà essere sciolto per un pò di tempo. 4 Poi vidi alcuni troni e a quelli che vi si sedettero fu dato il potere di giudicare. Vidi anche le anime dei decapitati a causa della testimonanza di Gesù e della parola di Dio, e quanti non avevano adorato la bestia e la sua statua e non ne avevano ricevuto il marchio sulla fronte e sulla mano. Essi ripresero vita e regnarono con Cristo per mille anni; 5 gli altri morti invece non tornarono in vita fino al compimento dei mille anni. Questa è la prima risurrezione. 6 Beati e santi coloro che prendon parte alla prima risurrezione. Su di loro non ha potere la seconda morte, ma saranno sacerdoti di Dio e del Cristo e regneranno con lui per mille anni.
Secondo combattimento escatologico
7 Quando i mille anni saranno compiuti, satana verrà liberato dal suo carcere 8 e uscirà per sedurre le nazioni ai quattro punti della terra, Gog e Magòg, per adunarli per la guerra: il loro numero sarà come la sabbia del mare. 9 Marciarono su tutta la superficie della terra e cinsero d'assedio l'accampamento dei santi e la città diletta. Ma un fuoco scese dal cielo e li divorò. 10 E il diavolo, che li aveva sedotti, fu gettato nello stagno di fuoco e zolfo, dove sono anche la bestia e il falso profeta: saranno tormentati giorno e notte per i secoli dei secoli.
Il giudizio delle nazioni
11 Vidi poi un grande trono bianco e Colui che sedeva su di esso. Dalla sua presenza erano scomparsi la terra e il cielo senza lasciar traccia di sé. 12 Poi vidi i morti, grandi e piccoli, ritti davanti al trono. Furono aperti dei libri. Fu aperto anche un altro libro, quello della vita. I morti vennero giudicati in base a ciò che era scritto in quei libri, ciascuno secondo le sue opere. 13 Il mare restituì i morti che esso custodiva e la morte e gli inferi resero i morti da loro custoditi e ciascuno venne giudicato secondo le sue opere. 14 Poi la morte e gli inferi furono gettati nello stagno di fuoco. Questa è la seconda morte, lo stagno di fuoco. 15 E chi non era scritto nel libro della vita fu gettato nello stagno di fuoco.
Revelation 20
New King James Version
Satan Bound 1,000 Years
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, (A)having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of (B)the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and (C)set a seal on him, (D)so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years
4 And I saw (E)thrones, and they sat on them, and (F)judgment was committed to them. Then I saw (G)the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, (H)who had not worshiped the beast (I)or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they (J)lived and (K)reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such (L)the second death has no power, but they shall be (M)priests of God and of Christ, (N)and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Satanic Rebellion Crushed(O)
7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out (P)to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, (Q)Gog and Magog, (R)to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 (S)They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone (T)where[b] the beast and the false prophet are. And they (U)will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The Great White Throne Judgment
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face (V)the earth and the heaven fled away. (W)And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, (X)small and great, standing before [c]God, (Y)and books were opened. And another (Z)book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged (AA)according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, (AB)and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. (AC)And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then (AD)Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. (AE)This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life (AF)was cast into the lake of fire.
