Zjavenie 20

1 Potom som videl z neba zostupovať anjela, čo mal kľúč od priepasti a v ruke veľkú reťaz.2 Chytil draka, toho starého hada, ktorým je diabol a satan, a sputnal ho na tisíc rokov.3 Hodil ho do priepasti, zavrel ju a zapečatil nad ním, aby už nezvádzal národy, kým sa nedovŕši tisíc rokov; potom musí byť na krátky čas uvoľnený.4 Ďalej som videl tróny; sadli si na ne tí, čo dostali moc súdiť. Videl som aj duše tých, čo boli sťatí pre Ježišovo svedectvo a pre Božie slovo, aj tých, čo sa neklaňali šelme ani jej obrazu a neprijali jej znak na čelo a na ruky. Tí ožili a kraľovali s Kristom tisíc rokov.5 Ostatní mŕtvi neožili, kým sa nedovŕšilo tisíc rokov. To je prvé vzkriesenie.6 Blahoslavený a svätý, kto má podiel na prvom vzkriesení! Nad tými druhá smrť nemá moci, ale budú kňazmi Boha a Krista a budú s ním kraľovať tisíc rokov.7 Až sa dovŕši tisíc rokov, bude satan uvoľnený zo svojho väzenia8 a vyjde, aby zvádzal národy, ktoré sú na štyroch uhloch zeme, Goga a Magoga, aby ich zhromaždil do boja; a bude ich ako piesku v mori.9 Vyšli na šíru zem a obkľúčili tábor svätých a Bohom milované mesto. Ale zostúpil oheň z neba a strávil ich.10 A diabol, ktorý ich zvádzal, bol zvrhnutý do ohnivého a sírového jazera, kde je aj šelma i falošný prorok; a budú mučení dňom i nocou na veky vekov.11 Potom som videl veľký biely trón a toho, čo na ňom sedel. Pred jeho pohľadom utiekla zem i nebo a už pre ne nebolo miesta.12 Videl som mŕtvych, veľkých i malých; stáli pred trónom a otvorili sa knihy. Otvorila sa aj iná kniha, kniha života. A mŕtvi boli súdení z toho, čo bolo zapísané v knihách podľa ich skutkov.13 More vydalo mŕtvych, čo boli v ňom, aj smrť, aj podsvetie vydali mŕtvych, čo boli v nich, a každý bol súdený podľa svojich skutkov.14 Potom boli smrť a podsvetie zvrhnuté do ohnivého jazera. Toto je druhá smrť: ohnivé jazero.15 A koho nenašli zapísaného v knihe života, bol zvrhnutý do ohnivého jazera.

REVELATION 20

The Thousand Years

1 I saw an angel come down from heaven, carrying the key to the deep pit and a big chain. 2 t He chained the dragon for 1,000 years. It is that old snake, who is also known as the devil and Satan.

3 Then the angel threw the dragon into the pit. He locked and sealed it, so 1,000 years would go by before the dragon could fool the nations again. But after that, it would have to be set free for a little while.

4  t I saw thrones, and sitting on those thrones were the ones who had been given the right to judge. I also saw the souls of the people who had their heads cut off because they had told about Jesus and preached God's message. They were the same ones who had not worshiped the beast or the idol, and they had refused to let its mark be put on their foreheads or hands. They will come to life and rule with Christ for 1,000 years.

5-6 These people are the first to be raised to life, and they are especially blessed and holy. The second deatht has no power over them. They will be priests for God and Christ and will rule with them for 1,000 years.
No other dead people were raised to life until 1,000 years later.

Satan Is Defeated

10 Then the devil who fooled them will be thrown into the lake of fire and burning sulfur. He will be there with the beast and the false prophet, and they will be in pain day and night forever and ever.

The Judgment //at the Great White Throne

12 t I also saw all the dead people standing in front of that throne. Every one of them was there, no matter who they had once been. Several books were opened, and then the book of lifet was opened. The dead were judged by what those books said they had done.
13 The sea gave up the dead people who were in it, and death and its kingdom also gave up their dead. Then everyone was judged by what they had done. 14 Afterwards, death and its kingdom were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death.t 15 Anyone whose name wasn't written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
