Revelation 20:1-14
1
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3
And cast him into the bottomless 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 fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4
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 thousand years.
5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6
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.
7
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8
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.
9
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 devoured them.
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Last Judgment (Posthumous) # 156
156. [156.] 23. On being explored to discover what idea they had of God, they were found to have thought only of God the Father, and of the Lord as being like themselves - this in accordance with their faith, that the Father is merciful for the Son's sake - and they then thought not at all of the Lord's Divinity. Secondly, it was found that when they thought of one God, they did not think at the same time of the Lord, even though the Father cannot be approached, because no one sees Him but the Son alone, 1 and seeing that the Lord is the way, that the Father must be approached therefore through Him, 2 and that one must believe in Him and not the Father. 3 Consequently they could not have a distinct idea of God except as a puff of wind or billow of cloud, or as nature in its least elements, and a Divine idea of the Lord is not possible when one thinks of Him as an ordinary man.
Angels complained that they were distressed by that idea of theirs which was being communicated to them. On that account, therefore, the people were carried off into surrounding regions, and the places they then came to appeared murky, because it is a true idea of God that causes real clarity. Some of the people were carried down into places below in accordance with their life, some to be further instructed, and only those who lived well accepted then a Divine idea of the Lord.
I saw that there followed in their stead some who had been hidden away by the Lord to keep them from being infected by them and harmed, people meant in chapter 20 of the book of Revelation by those who were slain and delivered up out of their tombs. 4
