1 And I saw a messenger descending from out of heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.2 And he held fast the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the False Accuser and the Adversary, and he bound him for a thousand years3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and barred and set a seal upon it, that he may no longer deceive the Nations, until the thousand years should be completed. After these it is necessary for him to be released for a short time.4 And I saw thrones, and they who sat upon them, and judgment had been given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded on account of the testimony of Yahshua and on account of the Word of Yahweh and who did not worship the beast nor his image and did not receive the inscribed mark upon their foreheads and upon their hands. And they lived and ruled with Christ for a thousand years.5 This is the first restoration.6 Blessed and holy is he having a part in the first restoration. Over these the second death does not have authority, but they shall be priests of Yahweh and of Christ and they shall rule with Him for the thousand years.7 And when the thousand years are completed, the Adversary shall be released from his prison8 and shall go out to deceive the Nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle, of which the number of them is as the sand of the sea.9 And they had gone up upon the breadth of the earth and encircled the encampment of the saints and the beloved city, and fire descended from out of heaven and devoured them.10 And the False Accuser who deceived them is cast into the lake of fire and sulfur where are also the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night for the eternal ages.11 And I saw a great white throne and He sitting upon it, from whose presence the earth and the heaven had fled, and a place is not found for them.12 And I saw the dead: the great ones and the small ones, standing before the throne. And books had been opened, and another book was opened, which is that of life, and the dead were judged from out of the things written in the books according to their works.13 And the sea had given over those dead who were in it, and Death and Hades had given over those who were in them, and each are judged according to their works.14 And Death and Hades are cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death: the lake of fire.15 And if one is not found written in the book of life, he is cast into the lake of fire.
