Christ’s Thousand Year Reign

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:1 -

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain [fn]in his hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:2 - And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:3 - and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were finished. After these things he must be released for a short time.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:4 -

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of [fn]their witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who also had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:5 - The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:6 - Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:9 - And they came up on the [fn]broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:10 - And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and [fn]brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Great White Throne Judgment

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sits upon it, from whose [fn]presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:12 - Then I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and [fn]books were opened; and another [fn]book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things which were written in the [fn]books, according to their deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:13 - And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
