t resurrection; on these the second death has
no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and reign with
him a thousand years.
7 [20:7]And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be
released from his prison, [20:8]and go forth to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, the Gog and the Magog [the
king and the people], and to assemble them together to battle, whose
number is as the sand of the sea. [20:9] And they went up on the
breadth of the earth, and surrounded the encampment of the saints and
the beloved city; and fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
[20:10]And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and sulphur, where also the beast and the false prophet [were cast],
and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
CHAPTER XII.
THE FINAL JUDGMENT, THE NEW JERUSALEM, ETC.
1 [20:11]AND I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from
whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found
for them. [20:12]And I saw the dead, great and small, stand before the

of life was cast into the lake of fire.
2 [21:1]And I saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and
the first earth passed away, and the sea was no more. [21:2]And I saw
the holy city New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [21:3]And I heard a loud
voice from heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself will be with them, their God, [21:4]and he will wipe away every
tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, nor shall lamentation
nor crying nor pain be any more, for the former things have passed away.
3 [21:5]And he that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And he said, Write that these words are faithful and true.
[21:6]And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
