The Age of Revelations

The last book written in the Holy Bible is a testament of our proficied future as Christians on earth. For telling what is to come after the year 2000AD, since Jesus Christ's acension into His Fathers Kingdom.

PROPHETICAL BOOK

REVELATION

This last book of the Bible identifies itself as "the revelation of Jesus Christ", and its author is designated "his servant John" who was exiled to the Greek island of Patmos because of his faith. Traditionally, John is identified with the author of the Fourth Gospel. Addressed to seven historical churches in Asia Minor, the Book of Revelation was written to warn against spiritual indifference and to elicit courage under persecution. Because of the extensive use of symbolism and picturesque imagery, its interpretation has posed many problem for the student of the Bible. While recognizing the historical situation (Roman persecution) that elicited this writing, many interpreters look upon it as a prophecy depicting events that were to take place at the end of the age. The ultimate victory of Christ is the dominant theme of this book.

Revelation 20 (King James Version)
1And I saw an angel come downfrom heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and boundhim a thousand years,3And casthim into the bottomless pit, and shuthim up , and set a sealupon 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.4And I sawthrones, and they satupon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheadedfor the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which hadnot worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they livedand reignedwith Christ a thousand years.5But the rest of the dead livednot againuntil the thousand years were finished . This is the first resurrection.6Blessed and holy is he that hathpart in the first resurrection: on such the second death hathno power, but they shall bepriests of God and of Christ, and shall reignwith him a thousand years.7And when the thousand years are expired , Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gatherthem togetherto battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.9And they went upon the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about , and the belovedcity: and fire came downfrom God out of heaven, and devouredthem.10And the devil that deceivedthem was castinto the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormentedday and night for ever and ever.11And I saw a great white throne, and him that saton it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away ; and there was foundno place for them.12And I saw the dead, small and great, standbefore 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 writtenin the books, according to their works.13And 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.14And death and hell were castinto the lake of fire. This is the second death.15And whosoever wasnot foundwrittenin the book of life was castinto the lake of fire.

Revelation 20 (New International Version)

The Thousand Years

1 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.6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

Satan's Doom

7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The Dead Are Judged

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
