Revelation 20
20
The Thousand Years
1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, # Rev 10:1 having the key to the bottomless pit # Rev 1:18 and a great chain in his hand. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for one thousand years. # 2Pe 2:4; Rev 12:9 3He cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, # Da 6:17; Mt 27:66 that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be set free for a little while.
4I saw thrones, # Da 7:9 and they sat on them, and the authority to judge was given to them. # Da 7:18; Mt 19:28; 1Co 6:3; Rev 4:4 And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness of Jesus and for the word of God. # Rev 6:9 They had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for one thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, # Rev 2:11 but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him one thousand years. # Rev 1:6; 5:10
The Defeat of Satan
7When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be set free from his prison # Rev 20:2–3 8and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, # Rev 16:14 Gog and Magog, # Eze 38:1–39:20 to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. 9They traveled the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. # Eze 38:9, 16 But fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. # Eze 38:22; 39:6 10The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were. # Rev 19:20; 20:14–15 They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The Great White Throne Judgment
11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From His face the earth and the heavens fled away, and no place was found for them. # Mt 24:35 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God. Books were opened. # Da 7:10 Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. # Mt 16:27; Ro 2:6; 2Co 5:10; Rev 22:12 13The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades # Rev 6:8 delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one by his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. # Rev 20:10 This is the second death. # 1Co 15:26; Rev 20:6 15Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. # Mt 25:41
