Apocalipsis 20
La Biblia de las Américas
Satanás atado durante el milenio
20 Y vi a un ángel que descendía del cielo(A), con[a] la llave del abismo(B) y una gran cadena en su mano. 2 Prendió al dragón, la serpiente antigua, que es el Diablo(C) y Satanás, y lo ató por mil años(D); 3 y lo arrojó al abismo(E), y lo cerró y lo selló sobre él(F), para que no engañara más a las naciones(G), hasta que se cumplieran los mil años; después de esto debe ser desatado por un poco de tiempo.
4 También vi tronos(H), y se sentaron sobre ellos(I), y se les concedió autoridad para juzgar(J). Y vi las almas de los que habían sido decapitados(K) por causa del testimonio de Jesús(L) y de la palabra de Dios, y a los que no habían adorado a la bestia ni a su imagen(M), ni habían recibido la marca sobre su frente ni sobre su mano(N); y volvieron a la vida[b](O) y reinaron con Cristo por mil años(P). 5 Los demás muertos no volvieron a la vida hasta que se cumplieron los mil años. Esta es la primera resurrección(Q). 6 Bienaventurado y santo es el que tiene parte en la primera resurrección(R); la muerte segunda no tiene poder sobre estos(S) sino que serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo(T), y reinarán con Él por mil años(U).
La derrota de Satanás
7 Cuando los mil años se cumplan, Satanás será soltado de su prisión(V), 8 y saldrá a engañar a las naciones(W) que están en los cuatro extremos[c] de la tierra(X), a Gog y a Magog(Y), a fin de reunirlas para la batalla(Z); el número de ellas es como la arena del mar(AA). 9 Y subieron sobre la anchura de la tierra(AB), rodearon el campamento de los santos(AC) y la ciudad amada(AD). Pero descendió fuego del cielo(AE) y los devoró. 10 Y el diablo(AF) que los engañaba(AG) fue arrojado al lago de fuego y azufre(AH), donde también están la bestia(AI) y el falso profeta(AJ); y serán atormentados día y noche por los siglos de los siglos(AK).
El juicio ante el trono blanco
11 Y vi un gran trono(AL) blanco y al que estaba sentado en él, de cuya presencia[d] huyeron la tierra y el cielo(AM), y no se halló lugar para ellos(AN). 12 Y vi a los muertos, grandes y pequeños(AO), de pie delante del trono, y los libros[e] fueron abiertos(AP); y otro libro[f] fue abierto, que es el libro de la vida(AQ), y los muertos fueron juzgados por lo que estaba escrito en los libros[g](AR), según sus obras(AS). 13 Y el mar entregó los muertos que estaban en él, y la Muerte y el Hades[h](AT) entregaron a los muertos que estaban en ellos(AU); y fueron juzgados, cada uno según sus obras(AV). 14 Y la Muerte y el Hades(AW) fueron arrojados al lago de fuego(AX). Esta es la muerte segunda(AY): el lago de fuego. 15 Y el que no se encontraba inscrito en el libro de la vida(AZ) fue arrojado al lago de fuego.

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Thousand Years
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and locked and sealed it over him, so that he would deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let out for a little while.
4 Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus[a] and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
Satan’s Doom
7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will come out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are as numerous as the sands of the sea. 9 They marched up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from heaven[b] and consumed them. 10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The Dead Are Judged
11 Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; 15 and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20
King James Version
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 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.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 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.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 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.
9 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.
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.
