    3 He threw him into the abyss, locked it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.

    4 Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

    5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

    6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

    7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison.

    10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

    5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne.

    14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle so that she might fly to the wilderness, to her place where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.

    15 Then, out of his mouth, the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the flood.

    16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
