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[a] presence, and no place was found for them.(A) 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.

Michael Defeats the Dragon

And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back,(A) but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.(B)

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven proclaiming,

“Now have come the salvation and the power
    and the kingdom of our God
    and the authority of his Messiah,[a]
for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down,
    who accuses them day and night before our God.(C)

24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty
    or the captives of a tyrant[a] be rescued?
25 But thus says the Lord:
Even the captives of the mighty will be taken,
    and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
    and I will save your children.(A)
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
    and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
    that I am the Lord your Savior
    and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.(B)

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned but cast them into hell and committed them to chains[a] of deepest darkness to be kept until the judgment;(A) and if he did not spare the ancient world, even though he saved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;(B) and if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to destruction[b] and made them an example of what is coming to the ungodly;[c] and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man greatly distressed by the debauchery of the lawless(C) (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by their lawless deeds that he saw and heard), then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial and to keep the unrighteous until the day of judgment, when they will be punished(D)
