20 Revelation

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. The Thousand Years Re.20.1-6
2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,  
3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.  
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not recei

 
5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.  
6 Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.  
7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison The Defeat of Satan Re.20.7-10
8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

 
9 And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

 
10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.  
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. The Judgment at the Great White Throne Re.20.11-15
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

 
13 And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.  
14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;

 
15 and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
