Revelation 20:3–9

³and he threw him into the ^aabyss, and shut it and ^bsealed it over him, so that he would ^cnot deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were finished. After these things he must be released for a short time.

⁴Then I saw ^athrones, and ^bthey sat on them, and ^cjudgment was given to them. And I saw ^dthe souls of those who had been beheaded because of ¹their ^ewitness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who also had not ^fworshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the ^gmark on their forehead and on their hand. And they ^hcame to life and ⁱreigned with Christ for a thousand years.

⁵The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. ^aThis is the first resurrection.

^6aBlessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over these the ^bsecond death has no authority, but they will be ^cpriests of God and of Christ and will ^dreign with Him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be ^areleased from his prison,

⁸and will come out to ^adeceive the nations which are in the ^bfour corners of the earth, ^cGog and Magog, to ^dgather them together for the war; the number of them is like the ^esand of the ¹seashore.

⁹And they ^acame up on the ¹broad plain of the earth and surrounded the ^bcamp of the saints and the ^cbeloved city, and ^dfire came down from heaven and devoured them.
