Los mil años

20 Vi además a un ángel que bajaba del cielo con la llave del abismo y una gran cadena en la mano. Sujetó al dragón, a aquella serpiente antigua que es el Diablo y Satanás, y lo encadenó por mil años. Lo arrojó al abismo, lo encerró y tapó la salida para que no engañara más a las naciones, hasta que se cumplieran los mil años. Después habrá de ser soltado por corto tiempo.

Entonces vi tronos donde se sentaron los que recibieron autoridad para juzgar. Vi también las almas de los que habían sido decapitados por causa del testimonio de Jesús y por la palabra de Dios. No habían adorado a la bestia ni a su imagen; tampoco se habían dejado poner su marca en la frente ni en la mano. Volvieron a vivir y reinaron con Cristo mil años. Esta es la primera resurrección; los demás muertos no volvieron a vivir hasta que se cumplieron los mil años. Dichosos y santos los que tienen parte en la primera resurrección. La segunda muerte no tiene poder sobre ellos, sino que serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo y reinarán con él mil años.

Juicio final de Satanás

Cuando se cumplan los mil años, Satanás será liberado de su prisión y saldrá para engañar a las naciones que están en los cuatro ángulos de la tierra —a Gog y a Magog—, a fin de reunirlas para la batalla. Su número será como el de las arenas del mar. Marcharán a lo largo y a lo ancho de la tierra y rodearán el campamento del pueblo de Dios, la ciudad amada. Pero caerá fuego del cielo y los consumirá por completo. 10 El diablo, que los había engañado, será arrojado al lago de fuego y azufre, donde están también la bestia y el falso profeta. Allí serán atormentados día y noche por los siglos de los siglos.

Juicio de los muertos

11 Luego vi un gran trono blanco y a alguien que estaba sentado en él. De su presencia huyeron la tierra y el cielo, sin dejar rastro alguno. 12 Vi también a los muertos, grandes y pequeños, de pie delante del trono. Se abrieron unos libros y luego otro que es el libro de la vida. Los muertos fueron juzgados según lo que habían hecho, conforme a lo que estaba escrito en los libros. 13 El mar devolvió sus muertos, la muerte y sus dominios[a] devolvieron los suyos; entonces cada uno fue juzgado según lo que había hecho. 14 La muerte y sus dominios fueron arrojados al lago de fuego. Este lago de fuego es la muerte segunda. 15 Aquel cuyo nombre no estaba escrito en el libro de la vida era arrojado al lago de fuego.

捆綁撒但一千年

20 我又看見一位天使從天上降下來,手裡拿著無底坑的鑰匙和一條大鎖鍊。 他捉住了那龍,那古蛇,就是魔鬼,撒但,把牠捆綁了一千年。 天使把牠拋在無底坑裡,關起來,封上印,使牠不能再迷惑列國,等到那一千年完了。以後,必須暫時釋放牠。

我又看見一些寶座,有人坐在上面,他們得了審判的權柄。我也看見那些因為替耶穌作見證,並且因為 神的道而被斬首的人的靈魂。他們沒有拜過獸或獸像,也沒有在額上或手上受過獸的記號。他們都復活了,與基督一同作王一千年。 其餘的死人還沒有復活,等到那一千年完了。這是頭一次的復活。 在頭一次復活有分的人是有福的、聖潔的,第二次的死沒有能力轄制他們。他們還要作 神和基督的祭司,與他一同作王一千年。

撒但的失敗

那一千年完了,撒但就要從監牢裡被釋放出來。 他要出來迷惑地上四方的列國,就是歌革和瑪名,使他們聚集爭戰。他們的人數好像海邊的沙那麼多。 他們上來遍滿了全地,圍住了聖徒的營和那蒙愛的城,就有火從天上降下來,毀滅了他們。 10 那迷惑他們的魔鬼,被拋在硫磺的火湖裡,就是獸和假先知所在的地方。他們必晝夜受痛苦,直到永永遠遠。

白色大寶座的審判

11 我又看見一個白色的大寶座,和坐在上面的那位。天地都從他面前逃避,再也看不見了。 12 我又看見死了的人,無論大小,都站在寶座前。案卷都展開了,還有另一卷,就是生命冊,也展開了。死了的人都憑著這些案卷所記載的,照著他們所行的受審判。 13 於是海把其中的死人交出來,死亡和陰間也把其中的死人交出來,他們都照著各人所行的受審判。 14 死亡和陰間也被拋在火湖裡。這火湖就是第二次的死。 15 凡是名字沒有記在生命冊上的,他就被拋在火湖裡。

The Thousand Years

20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,(A) having the key(B) to the Abyss(C) and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan,(D) and bound him for a thousand years.(E) He threw him into the Abyss,(F) and locked and sealed(G) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations(H) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

I saw thrones(I) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(J) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(K) because of their testimony about Jesus(L) and because of the word of God.(M) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(N) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(O) They came to life and reigned(P) 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.(Q) Blessed(R) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death(S) has no power over them, but they will be priests(T) of God and of Christ and will reign with him(U) for a thousand years.

The Judgment of Satan

When the thousand years are over,(V) Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations(W) in the four corners of the earth(X)—Gog and Magog(Y)—and to gather them for battle.(Z) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(AA) They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(AB) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(AC) But fire came down from heaven(AD) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(AE) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(AF) where the beast(AG) and the false prophet(AH) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(AI)

The Judgment of the Dead

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

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. He laid hold of (B)the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 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

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

Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 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. (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.
