Revelation 20:4-12

English Standard Version

⁴ Then I saw ^(A)thrones, and ^(B)seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw ^(C)the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those ^(D)who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^(E)They came to life and ^(F)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. ^6 (G)Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^(H)the second death has no power, but they will be ^(I)priests of God and of Christ, and they ^(J)will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, ^(K)Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will come out ^(L)to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^(M)Gog and Magog, ^(N)to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹ And ^(O)they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ^(P)the camp of the saints and ^(Q)the beloved city, but ^(R)fire came down from heaven^[a] and consumed them, ¹⁰ and the devil ^(S)who had deceived them was ^(T)thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ^(U)the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(V)earth and sky fled away, and ^(W)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(X)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(Y)the book of life. And ^(Z)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(AA)according to what they had done.
