Revelation 20:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 20:2

Satan Bound 1,000 Years

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ^ahaving the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 He laid hold of ^athe dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and ^aset a seal on him, ^bso that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

4 And I saw ^athrones, and they sat on them, and ^bjudgment was committed to them. Then I saw ^cthe souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, ^dwho had not worshiped the beast ^eor his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they ^flived and ^greigned with Christ for a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such ^athe second death has no power, but they shall be ^bpriests of God and of Christ, ^cand shall reign with Him a thousand years.
