* Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven , having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand . * He laid hold of the dragon , that serpent of old , who is the Devil and Satan , and bound him for a thousand years ; * and he cast him into the bottomless pit , and shut him up , and set a seal on him , so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished . But after these things he must be released for a little while . * And I saw thrones , and they sat on them , and judgment was committed to them . Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God , who had not worshiped the beast or his image , and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands . And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years . * But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished . This is the first resurrection . * Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection . Over such the second death has no power , but they shall be priests of God and of Christ , and shall reign with Him a thousand years . * Now when the thousand years have expired , Satan will be released from his prison * and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth , Gog and Magog , to gather them together to battle , whose number is as the sand of the sea . * They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city . And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them . * The devil , who deceived them , was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are . And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever . * Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it , from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away . And there was found no place for them . * And I saw the dead , small and great , standing before God , and books were opened . And another book was opened , which is the Book of Life . And the dead were judged according to their works , by the things which were written in the books . * The sea gave up the dead who were in it , and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them . And they were judged , each one according to his works . * Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire . This is the second death . * And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire .
