Revelation:20:1-6
riversident@Revelation:20:1 @ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years
riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.
riversident@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and men took their seats on them and the power to judge was granted to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,
riversident@Revelation:20:5 @ but the rest of the dead did not return to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.
