dby - Revelation:20:1-6

dby@Revelation:20:1 @ And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.

dby@Revelation:20:2 @ And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

dby@Revelation:20:3 @ and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time.

dby@Revelation:20:4 @ And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

dby@Revelation:20:5 @ the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection.

dby@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
