1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit[1] and a great chain. (Re 1:18; Re 9:1)2And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (2Pe 2:4; Jud 1:6; Re 12:9)3and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. (Da 6:17; Mt 27:66; Re 20:1; Re 20:8; Re 20:10)4Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Ps 45:16; Da 7:9; Da 7:18; Da 7:22; Mt 19:28; Mt 20:21; Mt 20:27; Joh 14:19; 2Ti 2:11; 2Ti 2:12; Re 3:21; Re 5:10; Re 6:9; Re 13:12; Re 13:14; Re 20:6; Re 22:5)5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.6Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years. (Re 1:6; Re 2:11; Re 14:13; Re 20:4; Re 20:14; Re 21:8)
The Defeat of Satan
7And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison (Re 20:2)8and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. (Eze 38:2; Eze 39:1; Re 16:14; Re 20:3; Re 20:10)9And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven[2] and consumed them, (Ps 132:13; Isa 8:8; Eze 38:9; Eze 38:16; Hab 1:6; Heb 13:11; Heb 13:13; Re 13:13)10and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (Re 16:13; Re 19:20; Re 20:3; Re 20:8)
Judgment Before the Great White Throne
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. (Ps 102:26; Da 2:35; Re 12:8)12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. (Da 7:10; Mt 16:27; Ro 14:10; 2Co 5:10; Re 3:5; Re 11:18)13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. (Re 6:8; Re 20:12)14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Lu 20:36; 1Co 15:26; Re 20:6; Re 20:13; Re 21:4)15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Mt 13:42; Mt 13:50)
1Puis je vis un ange descendre du ciel. Il tenait à la main la clé de l'abîme et une grande chaîne.2Il s'empara du dragon, le serpent ancien, qui est le diable et Satan, l'enchaîna pour 1000 ans3et le jeta dans l'abîme. Il ferma et scella l'entrée au-dessus de lui afin qu'il n'égare plus les nations, jusqu'à ce que les 1000 ans soient passés. Après cela, il faut qu'il soit relâché pour un peu de temps.4Ensuite je vis des trônes, et ceux qui s'y assirent reçurent le pouvoir de juger. Je vis aussi l'âme de ceux qui avaient été décapités à cause du témoignage de Jésus et à cause de la parole de Dieu, tous ceux qui n'avaient pas adoré la bête ni son image et qui n'avaient pas reçu sa marque sur le front ni sur la main. Ils revinrent à la vie et ils régnèrent avec Christ pendant 1000 ans.5[Les autres morts ne revinrent pas à la vie avant que les 1000 ans soient passés.] C'est la première résurrection.6Heureux et saints ceux qui ont part à la première résurrection! La seconde mort n'a pas de pouvoir sur eux, mais ils seront prêtres de Dieu et de Christ et ils régneront avec lui pendant 1000 ans.7Quand les 1000 ans seront passés, Satan sera relâché de sa prison8et il sortira pour égarer les nations qui sont aux quatre coins de la terre, Gog et Magog, afin de les rassembler pour la guerre; elles sont aussi nombreuses que le sable de la mer.9Ils montèrent sur toute la surface de la terre et ils encerclèrent le camp des saints et la ville bien-aimée. Mais un feu [venu de Dieu] descendit du ciel et les dévora.10Le diable, qui les égarait, fut jeté dans l'étang de feu et de soufre où sont la bête et le prétendu prophète. Et ils seront tourmentés jour et nuit, aux siècles des siècles.
Le jugement dernier
11Je vis alors un grand trône blanc et celui qui y était assis. La terre et le ciel s'enfuirent loin de lui et l'on ne trouva plus de place pour eux.12Je vis les morts, les grands et les petits, debout devant le trône. Des livres furent ouverts. Un autre livre fut aussi ouvert: le livre de vie. Les morts furent jugés conformément à leurs œuvres, d'après ce qui était écrit dans ces livres.13La mer rendit les morts qu'elle contenait, la mort et le séjour des morts rendirent aussi leurs morts, et chacun fut jugé conformément à sa manière d'agir.14Puis la mort et le séjour des morts furent jetés dans l'étang de feu. L'étang de feu, c'est la seconde mort.15Tous ceux qui ne furent pas trouvés inscrits dans le livre de vie furent jetés dans l'étang de feu.
