Utawala Wa Miaka Elfu Moja
120:1 Ufu 10:1; 1:18Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa ameshika ufunguo wa lile Shimo na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. 220:2 Ufu 12:9; 2Pet 2:4Akalishika lile joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ndiye ibilisi au Shetani, naye akamfunga kwa muda wa miaka 1,000. 320:3 Dan 6:17; Ufu 12:9Akamtupa katika lile Shimo, akamfunga humo na kulitia lakiri, ili kumzuia asiendelee kudanganya mataifa mpaka hiyo miaka 1,000 itimie. Baada ya hayo lazima afunguliwe kwa muda mfupi.
420:4 Dan 7:9; Ufu 6:9; 13:12, 16Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi vilivyokuwa vimekaliwa na hao waliopewa mamlaka ya kuhukumu, na nikaona roho za wale waliokatwa vichwa kwa sababu ya ushuhuda wa Yesu na kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu. Hawakuwa wamemsujudu huyo mnyama wala sanamu yake wala hawakupokea ile chapa yake kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao au kwenye mikono yao. Wakawa hai na kutawala pamoja na Kristo miaka 1,000. 520:5 Lk 14:14; 1The 4:16(Wafu waliosalia hawakufufuka mpaka ilipotimia hiyo miaka 1,000.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza. 620:6 Ufu 14:13; 2:11; 1:6Waliobarikiwa na walio watakatifu ni wale walio na sehemu katika ufufuo wa kwanza. Hao mauti ya pili haina nguvu juu yao, bali watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, nao watatawala pamoja naye kwa muda wa miaka 1,000.
Kuhukumiwa Kwa Shetani
720:7 Ufu 20:2Hiyo miaka 1,000 itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka kifungoni mwake, 820:8 Eze 38:2; 39:1; Ufu 1:6naye atatoka ili kuyadanganya mataifa yaliyopo katika pembe nne za dunia, yaani, Gogu na Magogu apate kuwakusanya tayari kwa vita. Idadi yao ni kama mchanga ulioko pwani. 920:9 Eze 38:9, 16; 39:6; Za 87:2; Ufu 13:13Nao walitembea katika eneo lote la dunia, wakaizunguka kambi ya watakatifu na ule mji unaopendwa. Lakini moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni na kuwateketeza. 1020:10 Ufu 19:20; 14:10, 11; Za 2:9Naye ibilisi aliyewadanganya akatupwa katika ziwa la moto na kiberiti walikokuwa wametupwa yule mnyama na yule nabii wa uongo. Watateswa humo usiku na mchana, milele na milele.
Wafu Wanahukumiwa
1120:11 Ufu 4:2; 6:14; Mt 25:31-46; Dan 2:35Kisha nikaona kiti kikubwa cheupe cha enzi pamoja na yeye aliyeketi juu yake. Dunia na mbingu zikaukimbia uso wake wala mahali pao hapakuonekana. 1220:12 Dan 7:10; Mal 3:16; Yer 17:10; Mt 16:27Nami nikawaona wafu wakubwa na wadogo, wakiwa wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na vitabu vikafunguliwa. Pia kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa ambacho ni kitabu cha uzima. Hao wafu wakahukumiwa sawasawa na matendo yao kama yalivyoandikwa ndani ya hivyo vitabu. 1320:13 Ufu 6:8; Isa 26:19Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake, nayo mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Kila mtu akahukumiwa kulingana na yale aliyoyatenda. 1420:14 1Kor 15:26; Ufu 20:13; 19:20; 2:11Kisha mauti na Kuzimu zikatupwa katika ziwa la moto. Hii ndio mauti ya pili, yaani, hilo ziwa la moto. 1520:15 Dan 12:1; Mt 25:41Iwapo mtu jina lake halikuonekana katika kile kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa ndani ya lile ziwa la moto.
The thousand years
1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient snake, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They20:4 Or God; I also saw those who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
The judgment of Satan
7When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog – and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The judgment of the dead
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
