And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. And he took hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss and shut him up and put a seal on him so that he should no longer mislead the nations, until the thousand years were finished. And after these things he must be loosed a little time.
And I saw thrones and they sat on them and judgement was given to them. And the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the beast nor his icon, and had not received the engraving on their forehead and on their hand, both lived and reigned with Christ the thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy the one having a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years have finished, Satan will be loosed out of his prison, and he will go out to mislead the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to war, whose number is like the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth and they encircled the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and ate them up. And the devil who misleads them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
And I saw a great white throne and him who is sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the sea went away and a place was not found for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before of God, and books were opened, and another book was opened which is the one of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. 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; and death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
