And I saw an angel come downfromheaven,having the key of the bottomless pitand a greatchaininhishand.
2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that oldserpent,whichis the Devil,andSatan,andboundhim a thousandyears,
3
Andcasthiminto the bottomless pit,andshuthimup, and set a sealuponhim,that he should deceive the nationsnomore,till the thousandyears should be fulfilled: andafterthathemust be loosed a littleseason.
4
And I sawthrones,and they satuponthem,andjudgment was given unto them:and I saw the souls of them that were beheadedfor the witness of Jesus,andfor the word of God,andwhichhadnotworshipped the beast,neitherhisimage*, neither had received his markupontheirforeheads,orintheirhands;and they livedandreignedwithChrist a thousandyears.
5
But the rest of the deadlivednotagainuntil the thousandyears were finished. This is the firstresurrection.
6
Blessedandholy is he that hathpartin the firstresurrection:onsuch the seconddeathhathnopower,but they shall bepriests of Godand of Christ,and shall reignwithhim a thousandyears.
7
Andwhen the thousandyears are expired, Satan shall be loosed out ofhisprison,
8
And shall go out to deceive the nationswhich are in the fourquarters of the earth,GogandMagog, to gatherthemtogethertobattle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9
And they went upon the breadth of the earth,andcompassed the camp of the saintsabout, and the belovedcity:andfire came downfromGod out ofheaven,anddevouredthem.
10
And the devil that deceivedthem was castinto the lake of fireandbrimstone,where the beastand the false prophet are, and shall be tormenteddayandnightforever and ever.

And I saw a greatwhitethrone,and him that satonit,fromwhoseface the earthand the heaven fled away; and there was foundnoplace for them.
