Satan Bound

1And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, holding in his hand the key of the Abyss, and a great chain. 2And he seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3And he cast him into the Abyss, and shut and sealed it over him, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed. After these things it is necessary for him to be released for a little time.

4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not take the mark upon the forehead, and upon their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years shall have been completed. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire

7And when the thousand years shall have been completed, Satan will be released out of his prison, 8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the war, of whom is the number of them like the sand of the sea.

9And they marched up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the city having been beloved. But fire came down out of heavena and devoured them. 10And the devil, the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet also are; and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of the ages.

The Final Judgment

11And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and 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 out of the things having been written in the books, according to their deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and each of them were judged according to their works.

14And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was not found having been written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
