Apocalipse 20

Os mil anos
1Depois vi descer do céu um anjo que tinha na mão a chave do abismo e uma grande corrente. 2Ele agarrou o dragão, isto é, a antiga serpente, que é o diabo ou Satanás, e o prendeu por mil anos. 3O anjo jogou o dragão no abismo e fechou a entrada. Então o anjo selou a entrada para que o dragão não saísse e enganasse as nações até que se completassem os mil anos. Depois disto será necessário que ele seja solto por um curto espaço de tempo.
4Depois vi tronos e, nestes tronos, estavam sentados aqueles que haviam recebido autoridade para julgar. Vi também as almas daqueles que tinham sido decapitados por terem anunciado a verdade revelada por Jesus e por causa da mensagem de Deus. Eles são os que não adoraram o monstro nem a sua imagem, nem tão pouco receberam a sua marca na testa ou na mão. Eles reviveram e reinaram com Cristo durante os mil anos. 5(O restante dos mortos não reviveu até que se completassem os mil anos.) Esta é a primeira ressurreição. 6Felizes e santos são aqueles que tomam parte na primeira ressurreição. A segunda morte não tem poder sobre eles. Pelo contrário, eles serão sacerdotes de Deus e de Cristo e reinarão com ele durante os mil anos.
7Quando, porém, se completarem os mil anos, Satanás será solto da sua prisão. 8Ele vai sair e enganar as nações que estão espalhadas por toda a terra, isto é, Gogue e Magogue, a fim de reuni-las para a guerra. E elas serão tão numerosas quanto a areia do mar. 9Elas marcharão pela superfície da terra e cercarão o acampamento do povo de Deus e também a cidade que ele ama. Mas virá fogo do céu e as devorará. 10O diabo, que os tem enganado, será jogado no lago de fogo e enxofre, onde também se encontram o monstro e o falso profeta. Ali eles serão atormentados de dia e de noite para todo o sempre.
O julgamento final
11Depois vi um grande trono branco e aquele que estava sentado nele. Diante da sua presença a terra e o céu desapareceram completamente e nunca mais foram encontrados. 12Vi também os mortos, os importantes e os simples, que estavam em pé diante do trono. Vários livros foram abertos e ainda outro livro foi aberto, isto é, o livro da vida. E os mortos foram julgados de acordo com as suas obras, conforme o que estava escrito nos livros. 13O mar entregou os mortos que estavam nele. A morte e o mundo dos mortos também entregaram os seus mortos. E eles foram julgados, um por um, de acordo com as suas obras. 14Então a morte e o mundo dos mortos foram jogados no lago de fogo. Esta é a segunda morte: o lago de fogo. 15E aquele que não tinha o seu nome escrito no livro da vida, era jogado no lago de fogo.

The Thousand Years
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, #See ch. 1:18 holding in his hand the key to #See ch. 9:1the bottomless pit#20:1 Greek the abyss; also verse 3 and a great chain. 2And he seized #See ch. 12:9 the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and #[2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6]bound him for a thousand years, 3and threw him into #[See ver. 1 above] the pit, and shut it and #Dan. 6:17; [Matt. 27:66] sealed it over him, so that #ver. 8, 10he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
4Then I saw #Dan. 7:9; Matt. 19:28 thrones, and #ch. 3:21; Dan. 7:22 seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw #ch. 6:9 the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those #ch. 13:12, 14-16 who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. #[John 14:19; 2 Tim. 2:11] They came to life and #ver. 6; ch. 5:10; 22:5; Dan. 7:18; Matt. 20:21, 27; 2 Tim. 2:12; [Ps. 45:16]reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6#ch. 14:13 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such #ver. 14; ch. 2:11; 21:8 the second death has no power, but they will be #See ch. 1:6 priests of God and of Christ, and they #ver. 4will reign with him for a thousand years.
The Defeat of Satan
7And when the thousand years are ended, #ver. 2Satan will be released from his prison 8and will come out #ver. 3, 10 to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, #Ezek. 38:2; 39:1 Gog and Magog, #See ch. 16:14to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9And #[Isa. 8:8; Ezek. 38:9, 16; Hab. 1:6] they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded #Heb. 13:11, 13 the camp of the saints and #[Ps. 132:13] the beloved city, but #See ch. 13:13fire came down from heaven#20:9 Some manuscripts from God, out of heaven, or out of heaven from God and consumed them, 10and the devil #ver. 3, 8 who had deceived them was #See ch. 19:20 thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where #See ch. 16:13the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Judgment Before the Great White Throne
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence #See Ps. 102:26 earth and sky fled away, and #ch. 12:8; Dan. 2:35no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and #Dan. 7:10 books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is #See ch. 3:5 the book of life. And #Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10; See ch. 11:18 the dead were judged by what was written in the books, #See Matt. 16:27according to what they had done. 13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, #ch. 6:8 Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, #[See ver. 12 above]according to what they had done. 14Then #[See ver. 13 above] Death and Hades #[ch. 21:4; Luke 20:36; 1 Cor. 15:26] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is #ver. 6the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, #Matt. 13:42, 50he was thrown into the lake of fire.
