Revelation 20

The Book of Revelation

REVELATION 20

20:1I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

20:2He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,

20:3and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.

20:4I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.

20:5The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

20:6Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

20:7And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison,

20:8and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

20:9They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them.

20:10The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

20:11I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

20:12I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

20:13The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

20:14Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

20:15If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

REVELATION 2

2:1To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

2:2“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

2:3You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have* not grown weary.

2:4But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

2:5Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

2:6But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

2:7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

2:8“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

2:9“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

2:10Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

2:11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

2:12“To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

2:13“I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

2:14But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

2:15So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise*.

2:16Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

2:18“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

2:19I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

2:20But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

2:21I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

2:22Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

2:23I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

2:24But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

2:25Nevertheless, hold firmly that which you have, until I come.

2:26He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

2:27He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

2:28and I will give him the morning star.

2:29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
