Revelation 19:19-20:10

English Standard Version

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.

⁴ Then I saw ^(Q)thrones, and ^(R)seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw ^(S)the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those ^(T)who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^(U)They came to life and ^(V)reigned with Christ for 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 (W)Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^(X)the second death has no power, but they will be ^(Y)priests of God and of Christ, and they ^(Z)will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, ^(AA)Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will come out ^(AB)to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^(AC)Gog and Magog, ^(AD)to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹ And ^(AE)they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ^(AF)the camp of the saints and ^(AG)the beloved city, but ^(AH)fire came down from heaven^[c] and consumed them, ¹⁰ and the devil ^(AI)who had deceived them was ^(AJ)thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ^(AK)the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
