Revelation 20:7-15

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan will be loosed out of his prison, and will go out to deceive the people who are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the plain of the earth and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were, and shall be tormented day and night forevermore.

11 And I saw a great white seat, and him that sat on it, from whose face both the earth and heaven fled away; and their place was found no more. 12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God. And the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by those things that were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them. And they were judged, every person according to his deeds. 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.

Matthew 17:1-13

The transfiguration of Christ upon the Mount of Tabor. He heals the frenzied boy, and pays the tribute levy to Rome.

17 And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and James’ brother John, and brought them up into a high mountain out of the way. And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine like the sun, and his clothes were as white as the light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

Then Peter spoke and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here. If you will, let us make here three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud covered them. And behold, there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dear Son, in whom I delight. Hear him!

When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and do not be afraid. And when they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus only.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, See that you tell no one about the vision until the Son of man is risen up again from death. 10 And his disciples asked of him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? 11 Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah does come first, and restore all things. 12 And I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him, but have done to him whatever they pleased. In like manner will the Son of man also suffer at their hands. 13 Then the disciples perceived that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
