1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are , and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Tūkstoš gadu
1 Tad es ieraudzīju eņģeli nokāpjam no debesīm, tam rokā bija bezdibens atslēga un liela ķēde. 2 Viņš sagrāba pūķi – senseno čūsku, kas ir velns un sātans, sasēja viņu uz tūkstoš gadiem 3 un iegrūda bezdibenī, aizslēdza to un aizzīmogoja uz tūkstoš gadiem, lai viņš nemaldinātu tautas. Pēc tam viņam uz īsu brīdi jātop atbrīvotam. 4 Tad es ieraudzīju troņus, uz tiem sēdēja tie, kam bija dota vara tiesāt: es ieraudzīju dvēseles, kam Jēzus apliecināšanas un Dieva vārda dēļ bija nocirstas galvas, kuri nepielūdza nedz zvēru, nedz viņa tēlu, nepieņēma viņa zīmi uz pieres vai savas rokas. Viņi atkal kļuva dzīvi un valdīja kopā ar Kristu tūkstoš gadu. 5 Pārējie mirušie neatdzīvojās, līdz pagāja tūkstoš gadu. Šī ir pirmā augšāmcelšanās. 6 Laimīgs un svēts ir tas, kam ir daļa pie pirmās augšāmcelšanās; otrajai nāvei pār viņiem vairs nav varas, bet tie būs Dieva un Kristus priesteri un valdīs ar viņu tūkstoš gadu.
Spriedums sātanam
7 Kad paies tūkstoš gadu, sātans tiks atbrīvots no sava cietuma 8 un izies maldināt tautas – Gogu un Magogu – visos četros zemes stūros, sapulcinās tās uz karu, un karotāju skaits būs kā smiltis jūrā. 9 Tie nāca pār visu zemi, ielenca svēto nometni un mīļoto pilsētu, bet no debesīm nolaidās uguns un viņus aprija. 10 Un viņu maldinātājs sātans tika iemests uguns un sēra ezerā – turpat, kur zvērs un viltus pravietis. Viņi tiks mocīti dienu un nakti mūžu mūžos.
Tiesa pēc darbiem
11 Tad es ieraudzīju troni, lielu un baltu, un uz tā sēdēja tas, no kura klātbūtnes aizbēga zeme un debess un nebija vairs atrodamas. 12 Es ieraudzīju mirušos – lielos un mazos – stāvam troņa priekšā. Tad tika attīti rakstu ruļļi, pēc tam vēl cits rullis – dzīvības grāmata, un mirušos tiesāja pēc viņu darbiem, kas aprakstīti šajos ruļļos. 13 Jūra atdeva atpakaļ tos, kas tajā miruši, nāve un pazemes valstība atdeva atpakaļ tos, kas tajā bija, un ikviens tika tiesāts pēc viņa darbiem. 14 Nāve un elle tika iemestas uguns ezerā. Šī ir otrā nāve – uguns ezers. 15 Ikviens, kura vārds nebija ierakstīts dzīvības grāmatā, tika iemests uguns ezerā.
