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.
捆绑魔鬼一千年
1我又看见一位天使从天而降，手里拿着无底坑的钥匙和一条大锁链。 2他捉住巨龙，就是那古蛇——魔鬼，又名撒旦，将它捆绑一千年。 3他把它扔进无底坑里关起来，加上封印，使它不能再欺骗各国的人。一千年期满后，它会暂时被释放。
同掌王权一千年
4我看见许多宝座，上面坐着的人得到了审判的权柄。他们是为基督做见证、为了上帝的道而被斩首之人的灵魂。他们没有拜兽和兽像，额上或手上也没有盖兽印。他们都一同复活，与基督同掌王权一千年。 5这是第一次的复活。其余已死的人要等到那一千年过去后，才会复活。 6在第一次复活的时候复活的人是有福的，是圣洁的，他们不在第二次死亡的权势之下。他们必做上帝和基督的祭司，与祂共掌王权一千年。
魔鬼的最终下场
7那一千年过后，撒旦会从被监禁的地方得到释放。 8它会再度欺骗天下各国，就是歌革和玛各，叫他们召集军队准备打仗，军队的数目多如海沙。 9他们倾巢而出，布满大地，将圣徒的阵营和上帝所爱的城团团围住。那时烈火从天而降，烧灭了他们。 10那欺骗他们的魔鬼被扔进了怪兽和假先知所待的硫磺火湖中，在那里昼夜受苦，直到永永远远！
最后的审判
11我又看见一个白色的大宝座和坐在上面的那位。在祂面前，天地都逃避了，消失得无影无踪。 12我又看见死去的人，不论尊卑老少，都站在宝座前面。案卷都展开了，另有一卷，就是生命册也打开了。死去的人都要凭案卷中有关他们行为的记录受审判。 13海洋、死亡和阴间都交出了它们里面的死人，使他们按着各人的行为受审判。 14之后，死亡和阴间也被扔进火湖里，这火湖就是第二次的死。 15名字没有记在生命册上的都要被扔进火湖里。
