Bible, King James Version
Revelation
Rev.20
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the
key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
[3] And 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.
[4] And 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.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed 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.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall
be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And 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.
[9] And 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.
[10] And 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.
[11] And 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.
[12] And 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.
[13] And 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.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.
