Apocalipse 20

Satan Bound

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain *20:1 Lit uponin his hand. 2 And he took hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 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 completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

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 *20:4 Lit thetheir testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 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.

Satan Freed and Doomed

7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, 8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the *20:8 Lit seaseashore. 9 And they came up on the *20:9 Lit breadth of the earthbroad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the *20:9 Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s peoplesaints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and *20:10 I.e., burning sulfurbrimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment at the Throne of God

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose *20:11 Lit facepresence earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and *20:12 Or scrollsbooks were opened; and another *20:12 Or scrollbook was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the *20:12 Or scrollsbooks, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them according to their deeds. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if *20:15 Lit anyone was notanyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
