от Veren1И видях, че слизаше от небето ангел, който държеше в ръката си ключа на бездната и една голяма верига.2Той улови змея, древната змия, която е дяволът и Сатана, и го върза за хиляда години,3и го хвърли в бездната, и я заключи, и я запечата над него, за да не мами вече нациите, докато се свършат хилядата години, след което той трябва да бъде пуснат за малко време[1].4И видях престоли; и седнаха на тях, и им се даде да съдят. Видях и душите на онези, които бяха обезглавени заради Иисусовото свидетелство и заради Божието слово и които не се бяха поклонили на звяра, нито на неговия образ, и не бяха приели белега на челото си и на ръката си. И те оживяха и царуваха с Христос хиляда години.5Другите мъртви не оживяха, докато не се свършиха хилядата години. Това е първото възкресение.6Блажен и свят онзи, който участва в първото възкресение. Над такива втората смърт няма да има власт, а те ще бъдат свещеници на Бога и на Христос и ще царуват с Него хиляда години.7И когато се свършат хилядата години, Сатана ще бъде пуснат от неговата тъмница8и ще излезе да мами нациите[2] по четирите краища на земята, Гог и Магог, за да ги събере за война; чието число е като морския пясък.9И те се разпростряха по цялата ширина на земята и обиколиха стана на светиите и възлюбения град; и огън падна (от Бога) от небето и ги погълна.10И дяволът, който ги мамеше, беше хвърлен в езерото от огън и сяра, където са и звярът, и лъжепророкът; и ще бъдат мъчени денем и нощем в цялата вечност.11И видях един голям бял престол и Седящия на него, от Чието лице побягнаха земята и небето и не се намери място за тях.12Видях и мъртвите, големи и малки, да стоят пред престола; и се разгънаха книги; и се разгъна и друга книга, която е книгата на живота; и мъртвите бяха съдени според написаното в книгите – според делата си.13И морето предаде мъртвите, които бяха в него, и смъртта и адът предадоха мъртвите, които бяха в тях; и те бяха съдени – всеки според делата си[3].14И смъртта и адът бяха хвърлени в огненото езеро. Това е втората смърт.15И ако някой не се намери записан в книгата на живота, той беше хвърлен в огненото езеро.
1I saw an angel coming down out of heaven. He had the key to the Abyss. In his hand he held a heavy chain.2He grabbed the dragon, that old snake. The snake is also called the devil, or Satan. The angel put him in chains for 1,000 years.3Then he threw him into the Abyss. He locked it and sealed him in. This was to keep Satan from causing the nations to believe his lies anymore. Satan will be locked away until the 1,000 years are ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.4I saw thrones. Those who had been given authority to judge were sitting on them. I also saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off. They had been killed because they had spoken what was true about Jesus. They had also been killed because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its statue. They had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.5This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God and of Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years.
Satan is judged
7When the 1,000 years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison.8He will go out to cause the nations to believe lies. He will gather them from the four corners of the earth. He will bring Gog and Magog together for battle. Their troops are as many as the grains of sand on the seashore.9They marched across the whole earth. They surrounded the place where God’s holy people were camped. It was the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and burned them up.10The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.
The dead are judged
11I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.12I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.13The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.14Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.15Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
