< Revelation 20 >
1 I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos )
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos )
2 He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him in chains for one thousand years.
And he laid hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 The angel threw him into the Abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would no longer be able to deceive the nations until the thousand years were over. After that he has to be set free for a little while. (Abyssos )
and threw him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be completed: and after this he must be loosed for a little while. (Abyssos )
4 I saw people sitting on thrones who had been given the responsibility to judge, and the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for sharing the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image, nor had they received the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and the power of judging was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God; and of those who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their forehead, nor on their hand: and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years had ended.)
But the rest of the dead lived not till the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy are those who take part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God, and of Christ, and they will reign with him for one thousand years.
Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; over such 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.
7 Once the thousand years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison,
And when the thousand years shall have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,
8 and will go out to deceive the nations, symbolized by Gog and Magog, to gather them together for battle from the four corners of the world. Their number is as uncountable as sand on the seashore.
and shall go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to bring them together to battle: the number of these is as the sand of the sea.
9 They marched over the earth on a broad front and encircled the camp of the believers, the beloved city. But fire rained down from heaven and burned them up.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them.
10 The devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet had also been thrown, and they will suffer in anguish day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are: and they shall be tormented day and night from age to age. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
11 Then I saw a large white throne with the one who sits on it. Heaven and earth vanished, and they were never seen again.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them.
12 I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened. Another book, the Book of Life, was opened and the dead were judged based on what was written in the books about what they had done.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.
13 The sea handed over the dead in it, and death and Hades handed over the dead that were in them, and everyone was judged according to what they had done. (Hadēs )
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, every one according to his works. (Hadēs )
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr )
And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr )
