¹⁹ And I saw ^(A)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies ^(B)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it ^(C)the false prophet ^(D)who in its presence^[a] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^(E)worshiped its image. These two were ^(F)thrown alive into the lake of ^(G)fire that burns with sulfur. ²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword ^(H)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^(I)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

The Thousand Years

20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ^(J)holding in his hand the key to ^(K)the bottomless pit^[b] and a great chain. ² And he seized ^(L)the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and ^(M)bound him for a thousand years, ³ and threw him into ^(N)the pit, and shut it and ^(O)sealed it over him, so that ^(P)he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

⁸ and will come out ^(A)to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^(B)Gog and Magog, ^(C)to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹ And ^(D)they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ^(E)the camp of the saints and ^(F)the beloved city, but ^(G)fire came down from heaven^[a] and consumed them, ¹⁰ and the devil ^(H)who had deceived them was ^(I)thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ^(J)the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(K)earth and sky fled away, and ^(L)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(M)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(N)the book of life. And ^(O)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(P)according to what they had done. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(Q)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(R)according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then ^(S)Death and Hades ^(T)were thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^(U)the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, ^(V)he was thrown into the lake of fire.

^20 (A)The God of peace ^(B)will soon crush Satan under your feet. ^(C)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

^16 (A)He will ^(B)come and destroy those tenants and ^(C)give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” ¹⁷ But he ^(D)looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:

^18 (F)Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls ^(G)on anyone, it will crush him.”
