< 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 coming down out of 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 on the dragon, the 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 cast him into the abyss, and shut [it], and sealed [it] over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time. (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 judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon 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.)
The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. 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 hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of 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 are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of 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 come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom 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 over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, 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 that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (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 there was found no place 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, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which 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 which were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their 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, [even] the lake of fire. (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 was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr )
