啟示錄 20
一千年
1 我又看見一位天使從天降下,手裏拿著無底坑的鑰匙和一條大鍊子。 2 他捉住那龍,就是古蛇,又叫魔鬼,也叫撒但,把牠捆綁一千年, 3 扔在無底坑裏,將無底坑關閉,用印封上,使牠不得再迷惑列國。等到那一千年完了,以後必須暫時釋放牠。
4 我又看見幾個寶座,也有坐在上面的,並有審判的權柄賜給他們。我又看見那些因為給耶穌作見證,並為上帝之道被斬者的靈魂,和那沒有拜過獸與獸像,也沒有在額上和手上受過他印記之人的靈魂,他們都復活了,與基督一同作王一千年。 5 這是頭一次的復活。(其餘的死人還沒有復活,直等那一千年完了。) 6 在頭一次復活有分的有福了,聖潔了!第二次的死在他們身上沒有權柄。他們必作上帝和基督的祭司,並要與基督一同作王一千年。
擊敗撒但
7 那一千年完了,撒但必從監牢裏被釋放, 8 出來要迷惑地上四方t的列國,就是歌革和瑪各,叫他們聚集爭戰。他們的人數多如海沙。 9 他們上來遍滿了全地,圍住聖徒的營與蒙愛的城,就有火從天降下,燒滅了他們。 10 那迷惑他們的魔鬼被扔在硫磺的火湖裏,就是獸和假先知所在的地方。他們必晝夜受痛苦,直到永永遠遠。
末日的審判
11 我又看見一個白色的大寶座與坐在上面的;從他面前天地都逃避,再無可見之處了。 12 我又看見死了的人,無論大小,都站在寶座前。案卷展開了,並且另有一卷展開,就是生命冊。死了的人都憑著這些案卷所記載的,照他們所行的受審判。 13 於是海交出其中的死人;死亡和陰間也交出其中的死人;他們都照各人所行的受審判。 14 死亡和陰間也被扔在火湖裏;這火湖就是第二次的死。 15 若有人名字沒記在生命冊上,他就被扔在火湖裏。
Revelation 20
The Thousand Year Reign
1 Thent I saw an angel descending from heaven, holdingt in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.2 Het seized the dragon – the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan – and tied him up for a thousand years.
3 The angelt thent threw him into the abyss and lockedt and sealed it so that he could not deceive the nations until the one thousand years were finished. (After these things he must be released for a brief period of time.)
4 Thent I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge.t I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. Theset had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. Theyt came to lifet and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.)s This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is the one who takes partt in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them,t but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
Satan’s Final Defeat
7 Nowt when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison8 and will go out to deceivet the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog,s to bring them together for the battle. They are as numerous as the grains of sand in the sea.t9 Theyt went upt on the broad plain of the eartht and encircledt the campt of the saints and the beloved city, butt fire came down from heaven and devoured them completely.t
10 And the devil who deceivedt them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur,t where the beast and the false prophet aret too, and they will be tormented there day and night forever and ever.
The Great White Throne
11 Thent I saw a larget white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heavent fledts from his presence, and no place was found for them.12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Thent books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life.t Sot the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.t13 Thet sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Deaths and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.14 Thent Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death – the lake of fire.
15 Ift anyone’s namet was not found written in the book of life, that persont was thrown into the lake of fire.
