Revelation 20

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)

AND I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)

2 He seized the Dragon, the primeval snake (who is the “devil” or “Satan”), and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

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

3 He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal on it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a while. (Abyssos g12)

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. (Abyssos g12)

4 Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats on them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony to Jesus and because of the message of God, for they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had not received the brand on their foreheads and on their hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the 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 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.

5 (The rest of the dead were not restored to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.

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

6 Blessed and holy will he be who shares in that first resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.

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.

7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose from his prison,

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

8 and he will come out to deceive the nations that live in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog. He will come to gather them together for battle; and their number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore.

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.

9 They went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded the camp of Christ’s people and the city that he loves. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;

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, their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false prophet already were, and they will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

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. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

11 Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.

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, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the book of life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books.

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 The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)

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. (Hadēs g86)

14 Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death – the lake of fire; (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

15 and all whose names were not found written in the book of life were hurled into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
