1. Then I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.
|
1. And G2532 I saw G1492 an angel G32 come down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 , having G2192 the G3588 key G2807 of the G3588 bottomless pit G12 and G2532 a great G3173 chain G254 in G1909 his G848 hand G5495 .
|
|
2. He seized the dragon� the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan� and tied him up for a thousand years.
|
2. And G2532 he laid hold on G2902 the G3588 dragon G1404 , that old G744 serpent G3789 , which G3739 is G2076 the Devil G1228 , and G2532 Satan G4567 , and G2532 bound G1210 him G846 a thousand G5507 years G2094 ,
|
|
3. The angel then threw him into the abyss and locked and sealed it so that he could not deceive the nations until the one thousand years were finished. (After these things he must be released for a brief period of time.)
|
3. And G2532 cast G906 him G846 into G1519 the G3588 bottomless pit G12 , and G2532 shut him up G2808 G846 , and G2532 set a seal G4972 upon G1883 him G846 , that G2443 he should deceive G4105 the G3588 nations G1484 no G3361 more G2089 , till G891 the G3588 thousand G5507 years G2094 should be fulfilled G5055 : and G2532 after G3326 that G5023 he G846 must G1163 be loosed G3089 a little G3398 season G5550 .
|
|
4. Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
|
4. And G2532 I saw G1492 thrones G2362 , and G2532 they sat G2523 upon G1909 them G846 , and G2532 judgment G2917 was given G1325 unto them G846 : and G2532 I saw the G3588 souls G5590 of them that were beheaded G3990 for G1223 the G3588 witness G3141 of Jesus G2424 , and G2532 for G1223 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 , and G2532 which G3748 had not G3756 worshiped G4352 the G3588 beast G2342 , neither G3777 his G846 image G1504 , neither G2532 G3756 had received G2983 his mark G5480 upon G1909 their G848 foreheads G3359 , or G2532 in G1909 their G848 hands G5495 ; and G2532 they lived G2198 and G2532 reigned G936 with G3326 Christ G5547 a thousand G5507 years G2094 .
|
|
5. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.) This is the first resurrection.
|
5. But G1161 the G3588 rest G3062 of the G3588 dead G3498 lived not again G326 G3756 until G2193 the G3588 thousand G5507 years G2094 were finished G5055 . This G3778 is the G3588 first G4413 resurrection G386 .
|
|
6. Blessed and holy is the one who takes part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
|
6. Blessed G3107 and G2532 holy G40 is he that hath G2192 part G3313 in G1722 the G3588 first G4413 resurrection G386 : on G1909 such G5130 the G3588 second G1208 death G2288 hath G2192 no G3756 power G1849 , but G235 they shall be G2071 priests G2409 of God G2316 and G2532 of Christ G5547 , and G2532 shall reign G936 with G3326 him G846 a thousand G5507 years G2094 .
|
|
7. Now when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison
|
7. And G2532 when G3752 the G3588 thousand G5507 years G2094 are expired G5055 , Satan G4567 shall be loosed G3089 out of G1537 his G846 prison G5438 ,
|
|
8. and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to bring them together for the battle. They are as numerous as the grains of sand in the sea.
|
8. And G2532 shall go out G1831 to deceive G4105 the G3588 nations G1484 which G3588 are in G1722 the G3588 four G5064 quarters G1137 of the G3588 earth G1093 , Gog G1136 and G2532 Magog G3098 , to gather them together G4863 G846 to G1519 battle G4171 : the G3588 number G706 of whom G3739 is as G5613 the G3588 sand G285 of the G3588 sea G2281 .
|
|
9. They went up on the broad plain of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and devoured them completely.
|
9. And G2532 they went up G305 on G1909 the G3588 breadth G4114 of the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 compassed the camp of the saints about G2944 G3588 G3925 G3588 G40 , and G2532 the G3588 beloved G25 city G4172 : and G2532 fire G4442 came down G2597 from G575 God G2316 out of G1537 heaven G3772 , and G2532 devoured G2719 them G846 .
|
|
10. And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are too, and they will be tormented there day and night forever and ever.
|
10. And G2532 the G3588 devil G1228 that deceived G4105 them G846 was cast G906 into G1519 the G3588 lake G3041 of fire G4442 and G2532 brimstone G2303 , where G3699 the G3588 beast G2342 and G2532 the G3588 false prophet G5578 are, and G2532 shall be tormented G928 day G2250 and G2532 night G3571 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165
|
|
11. Then I saw a large white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.
|
11. And G2532 I saw G1492 a great G3173 white G3022 throne G2362 , and G2532 him that sat G2521 on G1909 it G846 , from G575 whose G3739 face G4383 the G3588 earth G1093 and G2532 the G3588 heaven G3772 fled away G5343 ; and G2532 there was found G2147 no G3756 place G5117 for them G846 .
|
|
12. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then books were opened, and another book was opened� the book of life. So the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
|
12. And G2532 I saw G1492 the G3588 dead G3498 , small G3398 and G2532 great G3173 , stand G2476 before G1799 God G2316 ; and G2532 the books G975 were opened G455 : and G2532 another G243 book G975 was opened G455 , which is G3603 the book of life G2222 : and G2532 the G3588 dead G3498 were judged G2919 out of G1537 those things which were written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 books G975 , according G2596 to their G848 works G2041 .
|
|
13. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.
|
13. And G2532 the G3588 sea G2281 gave up G1325 the G3588 dead G3498 which were in G1722 it G846 ; and G2532 death G2288 and G2532 hell G86 delivered up G1325 the G3588 dead G3498 which were in G1722 them G846 : and G2532 they were judged G2919 every man G1538 according G2596 to their G848 works G2041 .
|
|
14. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death� the lake of fire.
|
14. And G2532 death G2288 and G2532 hell G86 were cast G906 into G1519 the G3588 lake G3041 of fire G4442 . This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 second G1208 death G2288 .
|
|
15. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, that person was thrown into the lake of fire.
|
15. And G2532 whosoever G1536 was not G3756 found G2147 written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 book G976 of life G2222 was cast G906 into G1519 the G3588 lake G3041 of fire G4442 .
