5. (The others that were dead did not live again until the 1,000 years were ended.) This is the first raising of the dead.
6. Blessed and holy are those who share in this first raising of the dead. The second death has no power over them. They will be priests for God and for Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years.
7. When the 1,000 years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison.
8. He will go out to trick the nations in all the earth—Gog and Magog. Satan will gather them for battle. There will be so many people that they will be like sand on the seashore.
9. And Satan’s army marched across the earth and gathered around the camp of God’s people and the city that God loves. But fire came down from heaven and burned them up.
10. And Satan, who tricked them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur with the beast and the false prophet. There they will be punished day and night forever and ever.
11. Then I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. Earth and sky ran away from him and disappeared.
12. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And the book of life was opened. There were also other books opened. The dead were judged by what they had done, which was written in the books.
13. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. Each person was judged by what he had done.
14. And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.
15. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
