Apocalipsis 20:7-15

7 La derrota de Satanás
Cuando se cumplan los mil años, Satanás será liberado de su prisión.

8 Saldrá para engañar a las naciones —llamadas Gog y Magog— por todos los extremos de la tierra. Las reunirá a todas para la batalla: un poderoso ejército tan incalculable como la arena de la orilla del mar.

9 Y los vi cuando subían por toda la anchura de la tierra y rodeaban al pueblo de Dios y a la ciudad amada; pero cayó fuego del cielo sobre el ejército que atacaba y lo consumió.

10 Después el diablo, que los había engañado, fue lanzado al lago de fuego que arde con azufre, donde ya estaban la bestia y el falso profeta. Allí serán atormentados día y noche por siempre jamás.

11 El juicio final
Y vi un gran trono blanco y al que estaba sentado en él. La tierra y el cielo huyeron de su presencia, pero no encontraron ningún lugar donde esconderse.

12 Vi a los muertos, tanto grandes como pequeños, de pie delante del trono de Dios. Los libros fueron abiertos, entre ellos el libro de la vida. A los muertos se les juzgó de acuerdo a las cosas que habían hecho, según lo que estaba escrito en los libros.

13 El mar entregó sus muertos, y la muerte y la tumba
también entregaron sus muertos; y todos fueron juzgados según lo que habían hecho.

14 Entonces la muerte y la tumba fueron lanzadas al lago de fuego. Este lago de fuego es la segunda muerte.

15 Y todo el que no tenía su nombre registrado en el libro de la vida fue lanzado al lago de fuego.

Apocalipsis 20:7-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO REVELATION 20

This chapter contains the binding of Satan, the saints' thousand years' reign with Christ, the loosing of Satan again, the destruction of him, and the Gog and Magog army, and the last judgment: the angel that is to bind Satan is described by his descent from heaven; by his having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand; and by the use he made of them, laying hold on Satan, binding him, casting him into the bottomless pit, and then shutting it up, and setting a seal on him; by all which he will be prevented from deceiving the nations for the space of a thousand years, Re 20:1-3. After this thrones are seen, with persons on them, to whom judgment is given; who are said to be such as had been martyrs for Jesus, and had not worshipped the beast, or professed his religion; whose happiness is represented by living and reigning with Christ a thousand years, when others will not; the second death will have no power on them; they will be the priests of God, and Christ, and reign with him during the said term, having a part in the first resurrection, Re 20:4-6. At the expiration of which term Satan will be loosed, and go out of prison, deceive the nations, and gather Gog and Magog to battle; who, being exceeding numerous, will cover the breadth of the earth, encompass the camp and city of the saints, when fire will come down from heaven and destroy them, and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire, where the beast and false prophet are, and be tormented for ever and ever, Re 20:7-10. And next an account is given of the general Judgment; and the judge is described by the throne he sat on, a white cloud, and by his majesty, which is such, that the heavens and the earth flee from before him, Re 20:11. And next the persons judged are described by their common state, the dead; by their age or condition, great and small, and by their position, standing before God; and then an account of the procedure, or rule of judgment; the books are opened, and the execution of judgment according to what is found in the books, Re 20:12 in order to which the sea, death, and the grave, give up the dead in them, and the two last are cast into the lake, and with them those who are not in the book of life, Re 20:13,14.
