1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.

4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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 of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them. 10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. 12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

1 我又看见一位天使从天上降下来， 手里拿着无底坑的钥匙和一条大锁链。

2 他捉住了那龙， 那古蛇， 就是魔鬼， 撒但， 把它捆绑了一千年。

3 天使把它拋在无底坑里， 关起来， 封上印， 使它不能再迷惑列国， 等到那一千年完了。以后， 必须暂时释放它。

4 我又看见一些宝座， 有人坐在上面， 他们得了审判的权柄。我也看见那些因为替耶稣作见证， 并且因为 神的道而被斩首的人的灵魂。他们没有拜过兽或兽像， 也没有在额上或手上受过兽的记号。他们都复活了， 与基督一同作王一千年。

5 其余的死人还没有复活， 等到那一千年完了。这是头一次的复活。

6 在头一次复活有分的人是有福的、圣洁的， 第二次的死没有能力辖制他们。他们还要作 神和基督的祭司， 与他一同作王一千年。

7 那一千年完了， 撒但就要从监牢里被释放出来。

8 他要出来迷惑地上四方的列国， 就是高革和玛高革， 使他们聚集争战。他们的人数好像海边的沙那么多。

9 他们上来遍满了全地， 围住了圣徒的营和那蒙爱的城， 就有火从天上降下来， 毁灭了他们。

10 那迷惑他们的魔鬼， 被拋在硫磺的火湖里， 就是兽和假先知所在的地方。他们必昼夜受痛苦， 直到永永远远。

11 我又看见一个白色的大宝座， 和坐在上面的那位。天地都从他面前逃避， 再也看不见了。

12 我又看见死了的人， 无论大小， 都站在宝座前。案卷都展开了， 还有另一卷， 就是生命册， 也展开了。死了的人都凭着这些案卷所记载的， 照着他们所行的受审判。

13 于是海把其中的死人交出来， 死亡和阴间也把其中的死人交出来， 他们都照着各人所行的受审判。

14 死亡和阴间也被拋在火湖里。这火湖就是第二次的死。

15 凡是名字没有记在生命册上的， 他就被拋在火湖里。
