The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

And I saw (A)thrones, and they sat on them, and (B)judgment was committed to them. Then I saw (C)the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, (D)who had not worshiped the beast (E)or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they (F)lived and (G)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 (H)the second death has no power, but they shall be (I)priests of God and of Christ, (J)and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Satanic Rebellion Crushed(K)

Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out (L)to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, (M)Gog and Magog, (N)to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. (O)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 (P)where[b] the beast and the false prophet are. And they (Q)will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Judgment of Satan

When the thousand years are over,(N) Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations(O) in the four corners of the earth(P)—Gog and Magog(Q)—and to gather them for battle.(R) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(S) They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(T) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(U) But fire came down from heaven(V) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(W) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(X) where the beast(Y) and the false prophet(Z) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(AA)
