(M115) 1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of
the abyss and a great chain in(259) his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the
dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a
thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut _it_, and sealed
_it_ over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the
thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a
little time.
(M116) 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and _I saw_ the souls of them that had been beheaded for the
testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped(260)
not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their
forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years
should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
(M117) (6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
over these the second death hath no power(261); but they shall be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a(262) thousand years.)
(M118) 7 And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison, 8 and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are
in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together
to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went
up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints
about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out(263) of heaven, and
devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and
they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever(264).
(M119) 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon 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, the great and the small, standing
before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened,
which is _the book_ of life: and the dead were judged out of the things
which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea
gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead
that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their
works. 14 And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death, _even_ the lake of fire. 15 And if any was not found written
in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
