Revelation 20

The Thousand Years

1#Rev 1:18; 10:1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2#2Pe 2:4; Rev 12:9He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3#Da 6:17; Mt 27:66He cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be set free for a little while.

4#Da 7:9; 7:18I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and the authority to judge was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness of Jesus and for the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6#Rev 1:6; 2:11; 5:10Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

7#Rev 20:2When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be set free from his prison 8#Rev 16:14; 20:3and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. 9#Eze 38:9; 38:16They traveled the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. But fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10#Rev 19:20; 20:2–3; 20:14–15The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Great White Throne Judgment

11#Da 2:35; Rev 12:8Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From His face the earth and the heavens fled away, and no place was found for them. 12#Da 7:10; Mt 16:27And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God. Books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. 13#Rev 6:8; 20:12The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one by his works. 14#1Co 15:26; Rev 20:6Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15#Mt 25:41; Mk 9:43–48Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Ḥazon (Revelation) 20

1And I saw a messenger coming down from the heaven, having the key to the pit of the deep and a great chain in his hand.

2And he seized the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

3and he threw him into the pit of the deep, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should lead the nations no more astray until the thousand years were ended. And after that he has to be released for a little while.

4And I saw thrones – and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to יהושע and because of the Word of Elohim, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years

5(and the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended) – this is the first resurrection.

6Blessed and set-apart is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

7And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be released from his prison,

8and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ,#Eze. 38:2 to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

9And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the set-apart ones and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim out of the heaven and consumed them.

10And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. And they shall be tortured day and night forever and ever.

11And I saw a great white throne and Him who was sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to their works.

13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and She’ol gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

14And Death and She’ol were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death.#See Rev. 2:11; Rev. 20:6; Rev. 21:8

15And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
