Revelation 20:6-21:4

English Standard Version

^6 (A)Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^(B)the second death has no power, but they will be ^(C)priests of God and of Christ, and they ^(D)will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, ^(E)Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will come out ^(F)to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^(G)Gog and Magog, ^(H)to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹ And ^(I)they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ^(J)the camp of the saints and ^(K)the beloved city, but ^(L)fire came down from heaven^[a] and consumed them, ¹⁰ and the devil ^(M)who had deceived them was ^(N)thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ^(O)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 ^(P)earth and sky fled away, and ^(Q)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(R)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(S)the book of life. And ^(T)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(U)according to what they had done. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(V)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(W)according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then ^(X)Death and Hades ^(Y)were thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^(Z)the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, ^(AA)he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The New Heaven and the New Earth

21 Then I saw ^(AB)a new heaven and a new earth, for ^(AC)the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ² And I saw ^(AD)the holy city, ^(AE)new Jerusalem, ^(AF)coming down out of heaven from God, ^(AG)prepared ^(AH)as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, ^(AI)the dwelling place^[b] of God is with man. He will ^(AJ)dwell with them, and they will be his people,^[c] and God himself will be with them as their God.^{[d] 4 (AK)}He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^(AL)death shall be no more, ^(AM)neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
