1Tu som videl, ako z neba zostupuje anjel, ktorý má v ruke kľúč od priepasti a veľkú reťaz.2Chytil draka, toho dávneho hada, toho diabla a satana, a spútal ho na tisíc rokov.3Potom ho hodil do priepasti, zavrel ju a zhora zapečatil, aby nemohol zvádzať národy, kým sa nedovŕši tisíc rokov. Potom musí byť ešte na krátky čas prepustený.4Ďalej som videl tróny, na ktoré zasadli tí, čo dostali právo súdiť. Videl som aj tých, čo boli popravení pre vernosť Ježišovi a Božiemu slovu, aj tých, čo sa neklaňali šelme ani jej soche a neprijali jej znamenie na čelo ani na ruky. Teraz ožili a kraľovali s Kristom na tisíc rokov.5To je prvé vzkriesenie. Ostatní mŕtvi ožijú až potom, keď sa dovŕši tisíc rokov.6Šťastní a svätí sú tí, ktorí majú účasť na tomto prvom vzkriesení. Nad nimi druhá smrť nemá moc, Boh a Kristus si z nich urobí kňazov a budú s ním kraľovať tisíc rokov.
Konečné víťazstvo
7Keď pominie tých tisíc rokov, bude satan prepustený zo svojho väzenia.8Vyjde a bude zvádzať na štyroch stranách zeme, Goga i Magoga. Zhromaždí ich do boja a bude ich ako piesku v mori.9Pochodovali po celej šírej zemi a obkľúčili tábor Božieho ľudu i mesto, ktoré miluje Boh. Ale zostúpil oheň z neba a spálil ich.10A diabol, ktorý ich zvádzal, bol uvrhnutý do ohnivého jazera, kde horí síra a kde je už šelma i falošný prorok. Tam budú umučení vo dne i v noci na večné veky.
Posledný súd
11Potom som videl veľký biely trón i toho, čo na ňom sedel. Pred jeho pohľadom sa rozplynuli zem aj nebo a nezostalo po nich ani stopy.12A videl som mŕtvych, veľkých aj malých, ako stoja pred trónom, a otvorili sa knihy. Otvorila sa aj kniha života. A mŕtvi boli odsúdení podľa svojich skutkov zapísaných v tých knihách.13More, smrť aj jej ríša vydali svojich mŕtvych a každý bol súdený podľa svojich skutkov.14Potom smrť i jej ríša boli zvrhnuté do horiaceho jazera. To je druhá smrť: horiace jazero.15A kto nebol zapísaný v knihe života, takisto bol uvrhnutý do horiaceho jazera.
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit[1] and a great chain. (Zjv 1,18; Zjv 9,1)2And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (2 Pt 2,4; Júd 1,6; Zjv 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. (Dan 6,17; Mt 27,66; Zjv 20,1; Zjv 20,8; Zjv 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. (Ž 45,16; Dan 7,9; Dan 7,18; Dan 7,22; Mt 19,28; Mt 20,21; Mt 20,27; Jn 14,19; 2 Tim 2,11; 2 Tim 2,12; Zjv 3,21; Zjv 5,10; Zjv 6,9; Zjv 13,12; Zjv 13,14; Zjv 20,6; Zjv 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. (Zjv 1,6; Zjv 2,11; Zjv 14,13; Zjv 20,4; Zjv 20,14; Zjv 21,8)
The Defeat of Satan
7And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison (Zjv 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. (Ez 38,2; Ez 39,1; Zjv 16,14; Zjv 20,3; Zjv 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, (Ž 132,13; Iz 8,8; Ez 38,9; Ez 38,16; Hab 1,6; Hebr 13,11; Hebr 13,13; Zjv 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. (Zjv 16,13; Zjv 19,20; Zjv 20,3; Zjv 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. (Ž 102,26; Dan 2,35; Zjv 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. (Dan 7,10; Mt 16,27; Rim 14,10; 2 Kor 5,10; Zjv 3,5; Zjv 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. (Zjv 6,8; Zjv 20,12)14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Lk 20,36; 1 Kor 15,26; Zjv 20,6; Zjv 20,13; Zjv 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)
