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 agent coming down out of heaven having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)

2 He seized the Dragon, the primeval Serpent (who is the ‘Devil’ or ‘Satan’), and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray, and bound him a thousand years.

3 He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal upon 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 he cast him into the abyss, and locked and sealed over him, so that he would no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be loosed for a little time. (Abyssos g12)

4 Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats upon 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 to them and the souls of those who were beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they lived, and reigned with the Christ the thousand years.

5 (The rest of the dead were not restored to life till the thousand years were ended.) This is the First Resurrection.

The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were ended. 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 who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will 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 ended, Satan will 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 he will come forth to lead astray the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the battle, of whom the number of them 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 beloved city. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the encampment of the sanctified and the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven from God, 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 who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages. (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 who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found 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, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

13 The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death 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 in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each according to their works. (Hadēs g86)

14 Then Death and the Lord of the Place of Death 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 Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (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 if any man was found not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
