Revelation 20:1

Revelation 20:1

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.

<< Revelation 19:21

Revelation 20:2 >>

Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse. This is probably symbolic. If these who had been sinners and supporters of the powers of evil were incapacitated for that support longer, it would be their death (separation) from that cause. It may be that this remnant were converted by the word. And all the fowls were filled with their flesh. If this is a symbol its signification is that the victory was complete.
