Rev 20:1 (NIV) And I saw an
angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to
the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3
He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and
sealed it over him, to keep him from
deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short
time. 4 I saw thrones on which were seated
those who had been given authority to
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and
because of the word of God. They had not
worshiped the beast or his image and had not
received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come
to life until the thousand years were
ended.) This is the first resurrection.
