Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven ,
holding in his hand the key of the abyss 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 he threw him into the abyss ,
and shut it and sealed it over him ,
so that he would not deceive the nations any more ,
until the thousand years were ended .
After these things he must be released for a short time .
*
Then I saw thrones ,
and seated on them were those to whom judgment was given .
Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony to Jesus and because of the word of God ,
and who had not worshipped the beast or his 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 the one who has a part in the first resurrection ;
over these the second death has no power ,
but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years .
