1 And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the deep, and a chain great on the hand of himself.
2 And he seized the dragon, the serpent the old, who is an accuser and an adversary, and he bound him a thousand years,
3 and he cast him into the deep, and shut up and sealed over him, so that not he might deceive longer the nations, till might be ended the thousand years and after these it behooves him to be loosed a little time.
4 And I saw thrones; and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those having been cut with an axe because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of the God, and who not worshipped the wildbeast not the image of him, and not received the mark on the forehead and on the hand of themselves; and they lived, and they reigned with the Anointed one the thousand years.
5 The but remaining ones the dead ones not lived till should be ended the thousand years. This the resurrection the first.
6 Blessed and holy the one having a portion in the resurrection the first; over such ones the second death not has authority, but they shall be priests of the God and of the Anointed one, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when they may be ended the thousand years, shall be loosed the adversary out of the prison of himself;
8 and he shall go forth to deceive the nations those in the four corners of the earth, the Gog and the Magog, to assemble them for war, of whom the number of them as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encircled the camp of the holy ones, and the city the beloved; and came down fire out of the heaven from the God, and ate up them;
10 and the accuser the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of the fire and of the brimstone, where both the wildbeast and the falseprophets; and they will be tormented day and night for the ages of the ages.
11 And I saw a throne great white, and the one sitting on him, of whom from face fled the earth and the heaven, and a place not was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead cues, little ones and great ones, having stood in presence of the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is of the life; and were judged the dead ones out of the things having been written in the books, according to the works of them.
13 And gave up the sea the dead ones those in her, and the death and the invisible gave up the dead ones those in them; and were judged each one according to the works of themselves.
14 And the death and the invisible were cast into the lake of the fire; this the death the second is.
15 And if any one not was found in the book of the life having been written, was cast into the lake of fire.
1 I saw an angel come down from heaven. He had the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent that is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
3 He hurled him into the bottomless pit, and shut it and sealed it over him. He could not deceive the nations anymore till the thousand years ended. After that he must be let loose for a little while.
4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I also saw the people who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image. They had not received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.Not found in older manuscripts. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them. They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall rule as kings with him for the thousand years.
7 When the thousand years end, Satan will be let loose out of his prison.
8 Satan will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of these is as the sand of the sea too great to count.
9 They advanced over the broad plain of the earth, and encircled the camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven and devoured consumed them.
10 The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and will be tormented day and night forever.
11 I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. From before him the earth and heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. The books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to their works.
13 The sea gave up the dead in it. Death and the grave delivered up the dead in them. Every man was judged according to his works.
14 Death and the grave were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 Whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled thrustthrown into the lake of fire.
