Revelation
20:1-6
And I saw an Angel
coming down out of Heaven,
Having the Key to the
Abyss
And holding in his hand
a Great Chain.
2 He seized the Dragon,
that Ancient Serpent,
WHO
IS THE DEVIL, OR SATAN,
AND
BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
3 He threw him into the
Abyss,
And locked and sealed
it over him,
TO
KEEP HIM
FROM
DECEIVING THE NATIONS ANY MORE
UNTIL
THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED
After that, he must be
set free for a short time
4 I 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 FOR JESUS
And because of the Word
of God.
They had not worshiped
the Beast or his Image
And had not received
his 'mark'
On their foreheads or
their hands.
THEY
CAME TO LIFE
AND
REIGNED WITH CHRIST 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
BLESSED AND HOLY ARE THOSE
WHO
HAVE PART IN THE FRIST 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.
(Revelation 20:1-6)
John
sees the Saints of Christ Jesus,
Seated
on Thrones
And given the Authority
to Judge.
He also sees the Souls
of those
WHO
WERE BEHEADED FOR THE WORD OF GOD;
Those who had not
received
THE
'MARK' OF THE BEAST
ON
THEIR FOREHEAD OR HANDS;
Who had not worshiped
the Beast or his “image”;
These came to life
And Reigned with Christ
for a Thousand Years.
This is the First
Resurrection.
These are the Blessed
and Holy Ones;
The Second Death,
Eternal Death,
Has no power over them.
They are the Priests of
God and of Christ,
And will Reign with him
for a Thousand Years.
The rest of the dead
remain dead
Until the End of the
Thousand Years,
At which time they are
Judged
And Sentenced to
Eternal Death
In the Lake of Fire
with Satan,
The Beast, the False
Prophet
And all the fallen
angels.
