Aabenbaringen 20

1 Og jeg saae en Engel fare ned fra Himmelen; han havde Afgrundens Nøgle og en stor Lænke i sin Haand.2 Og han greb Dragen, den gamle Slange, som er Djævelen og Satanas, og bandt ham for tusinde Aar3 og kastede ham i Afgrunden og tillukkede og forseglede over ham, at han ikke mere skulde forføre Folkene, indtil de tusinde Aar fuldendtes; og efter dem bør det ham at løses en liden Tid.4 Og jeg saae Throner, og de satte sig paa dem, og Dom blev dem given; og jeg saae deres Sjæle, som vare halshugne for Jesu Vidnesbyrds og for Guds Ords Skyld, og dem, som ikke havde tilbedet Dyret, ei heller dets Billede og ikke havde taget Mærket i deres Pande og paa deres Haand; og de bleve levende og regjerede med Christus i tusinde Aar.5 Men de andre Døde bleve ikke levende igjen, indtil de tusinde Aar fuldendtes. Denne er den første Opstandelse.6 Salig og hellig er den, som har Deel i den første Opstandelse; over disse har den anden Død ikke Magt, men de skulle være Guds og Christi Præster og skulle regjere med ham tusinde Aar.7 Og naar de tusinde Aar ere fuldendte, skal Satanas løses af sit Fængsel.8 Og han skal udgaae at forføre Folkene, fra Jordens fire Hjørner, Gog og Magog, at forsamle dem til Strid; deres Tal er om Havets Sand.9 Og de droge frem over Jordens Flade og omringede de Helliges Leir og den elskede Stad, og Ild nedfaldt af Himmelen fra Gud, og fortærede dem.10 Og Djævelen, som dem forførte, blev kastet i Søen af Ild og Svovl, hvor Dyret og den falske Prophet var; og de skulle pines Dag og Nat i al Evighed.11 Og jeg saae en stor hvid Throne og ham, som sad derpaa, for hvis Aasyn Jorden og Himmelen flyede; og der blev ikke fundet Sted for dem.12 Og jeg saae de Døde, Smaa og Store staaende for Gud, og Bøgerne bleve opladte; og en anden Bog blev opladt, som er Livsens Bog; og de Døde bleve dømte efter det, som er skrevet i Bøgerne efter deres Gjerninger.13 Og Havet afgav de Døde, som vare i det; og Døden og Helvede afgave de Døde, som var i dem, og de bleve dømte, hver efter sine Gjerninger.14 Og Døden og Helvede bleve kastede i Ildsøen. Denne er den anden Død.15 Og dersom nogen ikke fandtes skreven i Livsens Bog, blev han kastet i Ildsøen.

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.
