rsv Revelation:20:1-6 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven ,
holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain .
*
And he seized the dragon ,
that ancient serpent ,
who is the Devil and Satan ,
and bound him for a thousand years ,
*
and threw him into the pit ,
and shut it and sealed it over him ,
that he should deceive the nations no more ,
till the thousand years were ended .
After that he must be loosed for a little while .
*
Then I saw thrones ,
and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed .
Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God ,
and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands .
They came to life ,
and reigned with Christ a thousand years .
*
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended .
This is the first resurrection .
*
Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection !
Over such the second death has no power ,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ ,
and they shall reign with him a thousand years .
