Tisućgodišnje kraljevstvo
1Ugledam zatim anđela kako silazi s neba noseći ključeve bezdana i velike okove. 2On ščepa Zmaja, tu staru Zmiju, đavla, Sotonu, i okuje ga na tisuću godina. 3Baci ga u bezdan, koji zatvori i zapečati da Sotona više ne zavodi narode dok se ne navrši tisuću godina. Poslije će ga nakratko morati odvezati.
4Vidio sam zatim prijestolja. Ljudi koji su na njih sjeli dobili su vlast da sude. Vidio sam duše onih kojima je odrubljena glava zbog svjedočenja za Isusa i zbog naviještanja Božje riječi te duše svih onih koji se nisu poklonili Zvijeri ni njezinu kipu, koji nisu primili žig na čelo ni na ruku. Oni su ponovno oživjeli i kraljevali s Kristom tisuću godina. 5To je prvo uskrsnuće. Drugi mrtvi nisu oživjeli dok se ne navrši tisuću godina. 6Blaženi su i sveti dionici prvoga uskrsnuća. Nad njima druga smrt ne vlada—oni će biti Božje i Kristovo svećenstvo i vladat će s Kristom tisuću godina.
Sotonin poraz
7Kad prođe tisuću godina, Sotona će biti oslobođen iz zatvora. 8Izići će i zavesti narode iz svih krajeva svijeta, koje nazivaju Gog i Magog, i okupiti ih za bitku. Bit će ih neizmjerno mnogo—poput pijeska na morskoj obali. 9Vidio sam ih kako su se okupili na prostranoj poljani i opkolili Božji narod i njihov voljeni grad. Ali uto s neba sune na njih oganj i proždre ih.
10Zatim će đavao, koji ih je prevario, biti bačen u ognjeno jezero s gorućim sumporom, gdje će već biti Zvijer i lažni prorok. Ondje će danonoćno trpjeti muke u vijeke vjekova.
Konačni sud
11Ugledam zatim veliko bijelo prijestolje i Onoga koji na njemu sjedi. Zemlja i nebo pobjegnu pred njegovim licem i nestanu. 12I vidim: mrtvi, mali i veliki, stoje pred Božjim prijestoljem. Otvore se sve knjige, pa i Knjiga života. I mrtvi su suđeni prema onome što je u knjigama zapisano—prema svojim djelima. 13More preda svoje mrtvace, smrt i podzemlje također. I svima je suđeno prema njihovim djelima. 14A smrt i podzemlje bačeni su u ognjeno jezero. To ognjeno jezero jest druga smrt. 15I svi koji nisu zapisani u Knjizi života bačeni su u ognjeno jezero.
1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
