Revelation 20:1–7

Satan Bound

20Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss ^fand a great chain ^gin his hand. ²He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devil and Satan, ^hiand bound ^jhim for 1,000 years. ³He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it ^kso that he would no longer deceive the nations ^luntil the 1,000 years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.

The Saints Reign with the Messiah

⁴Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. ^mI also saw the people ^nowho had been beheaded ^pbecause of their testimony about Jesus ^qand because of God’s word, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^rThey came to life ^sand reigned with the Messiah for 1,000 years. ^t5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were completed. This is the first resurrection. ⁶Blessed ^uand holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death ^vhas no power ^wover them, but they will be priests of God and of the Messiah, and they will reign with Him for 1,000 years. ^x
