FIRST RESURRECTION
AND SECOND DEATH
And I saw an angel come down
from heaven, having the key of
the bottomless pit and a great
chain in his hand. And he laid
hold on the dragon, that old ser-
pent, which is the Devil, and Sa-
tan, and bound him a thousand
years, and cast him into the bot-
tomless pit, and shut him up, and
set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till
the thousand years should be ful-
filled: and after that he must be
looséd a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they
sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had
not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had received
his mark upon their foreheads
or in their hands; and they lived
and reigned with Christ a thou-
sand years.
But the rest of the dead lived
not again until the thousand years
were finished. THIS IS THE
FIRST RESURRECTION. Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in
the first resurrection: on such the
second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and
of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand years.
And when the thousand years
are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison, and shall go out
to deceive the nations which are
in the four quarters of the earth,
Gog and Magog, to gather them
together to battle: the number of
whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth
of the earth, and compassed the
camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down
from God out of heaven and de-
voured them.
And the devil that deceived
them was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone, where the
beast and the false prophet are
and shall be tormented day and
night for ever and ever.
And I saw a great white throne
and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away: and there was
found no place for them. And I
saw the dead, small and great
stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book
was opened, which is the book
of life: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were
written in the books, according to
their works.
And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which
were in them: and they were
judged every man according to
their works. And death and hell
were cast into the lake of fire
THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH
And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.—Twen-
tieth Chapter of the Book of
Revelation.
