20 And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.

And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time.

And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea.

And 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 the heaven and devoured them.

10 And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them.

12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which [were] in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which [were] in them; and they were judged each according to their works:

14 and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire.

15 And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

An Angel Overpowers the Devil

20 I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand. He overpowered the serpent, that ancient snake, named Devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1,000 years. He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were over. After that it must be set free for a little while.

I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were allowed to judge. Then I saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off because of their testimony about Yeshua and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue and were not branded on their foreheads or hands. They lived and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years. The rest of the dead did not live until the 1,000 years ended.

This is the first time that people come back to life. Blessed and holy are those who are included the first time that people come back to life. The second death has no power over them. They will continue to be priests of God and Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years.

The Final Judgment

When 1,000 years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison. He will go out to deceive Gog and Magog, the nations in the four corners of the earth, and gather them for war. They will be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore. I saw that they spread over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s holy people and the beloved city. Fire came from heaven and burned them up. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were also thrown. They will be tortured day and night forever and ever.

11 I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence, but no place was found for them. 12 I saw the dead, both important and unimportant people, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened, including the Book of Life. The dead were judged on the basis of what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead. Death and hell gave up their dead. People were judged based on what they had done. 14 Death and hell were thrown into the fiery lake. (The fiery lake is the second death.) 15 Those whose names were not found in the Book of Life were thrown into the fiery lake.

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

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.

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.

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

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.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

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.

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.

20 ¶ Apre sa, mwen wè yon zanj desann soti nan sièl la. Li te kenbe kle gwo twou san fon an nan men l' ansanm ak yon gwo chenn.

Li pran dragon an, sèpan ki la depi lontan an, sa yo rele diab la, osinon Satan, li mete l' nan chenn pou mil (1.000) an.

Zanj lan voye l' jete nan gwo twou san fon an, li fèmen twou a akle, epi li poze sele sou li. Konsa, dragon an p'ap kapab pran tèt nasyon yo toutotan mil (1.000) lanne pa fin pase. Apre sa, yo gen pou yo lage l' ankò pou yon ti tan.

Lè sa a, mwen wè yon bann fòtèy. Moun ki te chita sou fòtèy yo te resevwa pouvwa rann jijman. Anmenmtan an tou, mwen wè nanm moun yo te koupe tèt yo paske yo t'ap bay verite Jezi te fè nou konnen an ansanm ak pawòl Bondye a. Moun sa yo te refize adore ni bèt la, ni estati l' la. Yo pa t' resevwa mak bèt la sou fwon yo ni sou men yo. Yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Y'ap gouvènen avèk Kris la pandan mil (1.000) an.

(Lòt mò yo pa t' leve soti vivan nan lanmò toutotan mil (1.000) an pa pase.) Se sa yo rele premie leve vivan soti nan lanmò a.

Benediksyon pou moun k'ap patisipe nan premie leve vivan soti nan lanmò sa a! Yo se moun Bondye vre. Dezyèm lanmò a p'ap gen pouvwa sou yo. Yo pral sèvi Bondye ak Kris la tankou prèt. Yo pral gouvènen avè l' pandan mil (1.000) lanne.

Lè mil (1.000) lanne yo va fin pase, y'a lage Satan soti nan prizon an.

Lè sa a, la mache twonpe tout nasyon toupatou sou latè, Gòg ak Magòg. La sanble yo pou l' ka mennen yo goumen. Y'ap anpil anpil, tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.

Yo mache sou tout latè, yo sènen kote pèp Bondye a te ye a, lavil Bondye renmen an. Men, dife desann soti nan sièl la, li disparèt yo.

10 Lè sa a, yo pran Satan ki te alatèt yo, yo jete l' nan lètan dife ak souf la, menm kote yo te deja jete bèt la ak fo pwofèt la. Yo pral soufri anpil, lajounen kou lannwit pou tout tan.

11 ¶ Apre sa, mwen wè yon gwo fòtèy blan ak moun ki te chita sou li a. Sièl la ak tè a pran kouri devan l', yo disparèt nèt ale.

12 Apre sa, mwen wè tout moun ki te mouri yo, gran kou piti, kanpe devan fòtèy la. Yo louvri yon bann liv. Apre sa, yo louvri liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi yo. Yo jije tout moun mouri yo dapre sa yo te fè, dapre sa ki te ekri nan liv yo.

13 Lanmè a renmèt tout moun mouri ki te nan fon li. Lanmò ak kote mò yo ye a renmèt tout mò ki te nan men yo. Yo jije tout mò sa yo dapre sa yo te fè.

14 Apre sa, yo jete lanmò ansanm ak kote mò yo ye a nan letan dife a. (Letan dife sa a, se li menm ki dezyèm lanmò a).

15 Tout moun ki pa t' gen non yo ekri nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a, yo jete yo nan letan dife a tou.
