CHAPTER 20


:1  And I saw <G 1492> an angel <G 0032> come <G 2597> down <G

2597> from heaven


<G 3772>, having <G 2192> the key <G 2807> of the bottomless <G

0012> pit and a


great <G 3173> chain <G 0254> in his hand <G 5495>.




:2  And he laid hold <G 2902> on the dragon <G 1404>, that old

<G 0744> serpent


<G 3789>, which <G 3739> is the Devil <G 1228>, and Satan <G

4567>, and bound <G


1210> him a thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094>,




:3  And cast <G 0906> him into <G 1519> the bottomless <G 0012>

pit, and shut <G


2808> him up, and set <G 4972> a seal <G 4972> upon him, that he

should deceive


<G 4105> the nations <G 1484> no <G 3361> more <G 2089>, till <G

0891> the


thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094> should be fulfilled <G 5055>:

and after <G


3326> that he must <G 1163> be loosed <G 3089> a little <G 3398>

season <G


5550>.




:4  And I saw <G 1492> thrones <G 2362>, and they sat <G 2523>

upon them, and


judgment <G 2917> was given <G 1325> unto them: and [I saw] the

souls <G 5590>


of them that were beheaded <G 3990> for the witness <G 3141> of

Jesus <G 2424>,


and for the word <G 3056> of God <G 2316>, and which <G 3748>

had not worshipped


<G 4352> the beast <G 2342>, neither <G 3777> his image <G 1504>,

 neither <G


3756> had received <G 2983> [his] mark <G 5480> upon their

foreheads <G 3359>,


or <G 2532> in their hands <G 5495>; and they lived <G 2198> and

reigned <G


0936> with Christ <G 5547> a thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094>.




:5  But the rest <G 3062> of the dead <G 3498> lived <G 0326>

not again <G 0326>


until <G 2193> the thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094> were

finished <G 5055>. This


<G 3778> [is] the first <G 4413> resurrection <G 0386>.




:6  Blessed <G 3107> and holy <G 0040> [is] he that hath <G

2192> part <G 3313>


in the first <G 4413> resurrection <G 0386>: on <G 1909> such <G

5130> the


second <G 1208> death <G 2288> hath <G 2192> no <G 3756> power

<G 1849>, but


they shall be priests <G 2409> of God <G 2316> and of Christ <G

5547>, and shall


reign <G 0936> with him a thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094>.




:7  And when <G 3752> the thousand <G 5507> years <G 2094> are

expired <G 5055>,


Satan <G 4567> shall be loosed <G 3089> out of his prison <G

5438>,




:8  And shall go <G 1831> out to deceive <G 4105> the nations <G

1484> which <G


3588> are in the four <G 5064> quarters <G 1137> of the earth <G

1093>, Gog <G


1136> and Magog <G 3098>, to gather <G 4863> them together <G

4863> to battle <G


4171>: the number <G 0706> of whom <G 3739> [is] as the sand <G

0285> of the sea


<G 2281>.




:9  And they went <G 0305> up on <G 1909> the breadth <G 4114>

of the earth <G


1093>, and compassed <G 2944> the camp <G 3925> of the saints <G

0040> about <G


2944>, and the beloved <G 0025> city <G 4172>: and fire <G 4442>

came <G 2597>


down <G 2597> from God <G 2316> out of heaven <G 3772>, and

devoured <G 2719>


them.




:10  And the devil <G 1228> that deceived <G 4105> them was cast

<G 0906> into


<G 1519> the lake <G 3041> of fire <G 4442> and brimstone <G

2303>, where <G


3699> the beast <G 2342> and the false <G 5578> prophet <G 5578>

[are], and


shall be tormented <G 0928> day <G 2250> and night <G 3571> for

ever <G 0165>


and ever <G 0165>.




:11  And I saw <G 1492> a great <G 3173> white <G 3022> throne

<G 2362>, and him


that sat <G 2521> on <G 1909> it, from whose <G 3739> face <G

4383> the earth <G


1093> and the heaven <G 3772> fled <G 5343> away; and there was

found <G 2147>


no <G 3756> place <G 5117> for them.




:12  And I saw <G 1492> the dead <G 3498>, small <G 3398> and

great <G 3173>,


stand <G 2476> before <G 1799> God <G 2316>; and the books <G

0975> were opened


<G 0455>: and another <G 0243> book <G 0976> was opened <G 0455>,

 which <G 3739>


is [the book <G 0976>] of life <G 2222>: and the dead <G 3498>

were judged <G


2919> out of those <G 3588> things which were written <G 1125>

in the books <G


0975>, according <G 2596> to their works <G 2041>.




:13  And the sea <G 2281> gave <G 1325> up the dead <G 3498>

which <G 3588> were


in it; and death <G 2288> and hell <G 0086> delivered <G 1325>

up the dead <G


3498> which <G 3588> were in them: and they were judged <G 2919>

every <G 1538>


man according <G 2596> to their works <G 2041>.




:14  And death <G 2288> and hell <G 0086> were cast <G 0906>

into <G 1519> the


lake <G 3041> of fire <G 4442>. This <G 3778> is the second <G

1208> death <G


2288>.




:15  And whosoever <G 3156> was not found <G 2147> written <G

1125> in the book


<G 0976> of life <G 2222> was cast <G 0906> into <G 1519> the

lake <G 3041> of


fire <G 4442>.
