Zjavenie Apoštola Jána 20
Nádej pre kazdého
Tisícročné kráľovstvo
20 Tu som videl, ako z neba zostupuje anjel, ktorý má v ruke kľúč od priepasti a veľkú reťaz.
2 Chytil draka, toho dávneho hada, toho diabla a satana, a spútal ho na tisíc rokov.
3 Potom ho hodil do priepasti, zavrel ju a zhora zapečatil, aby nemohol zvádzať národy, kým sa nedovŕši tisíc rokov. Potom musí byť ešte na krátky čas prepustený.
4 Ďalej som videl tróny, na ktoré zasadli tí, čo dostali právo súdiť. Videl som aj tých, čo boli popravení pre vernosť Ježišovi a Božiemu slovu, aj tých, čo sa neklaňali šelme ani jej soche a neprijali jej znamenie na čelo ani na ruky. Teraz ožili a kraľovali s Kristom na tisíc rokov.
5 To je prvé vzkriesenie. Ostatní mŕtvi ožijú až potom, keď sa dovŕši tisíc rokov.
6 Šťastní a svätí sú tí, ktorí majú účasť na tomto prvom vzkriesení. Nad nimi druhá smrť nemá moc, Boh a Kristus si z nich urobí kňazov a budú s ním kraľovať tisíc rokov.
Konečné víťazstvo
7 Keď pominie tých tisíc rokov, bude satan prepustený zo svojho väzenia.
8 Vyjde a bude zvádzať na štyroch stranách zeme, Goga i Magoga. Zhromaždí ich do boja a bude ich ako piesku v mori.
9 Pochodovali po celej šírej zemi a obkľúčili tábor Božieho ľudu i mesto, ktoré miluje Boh. Ale zostúpil oheň z neba a spálil ich.
10 A diabol, ktorý ich zvádzal, bol uvrhnutý do ohnivého jazera, kde horí síra a kde je už šelma i falošný prorok. Tam budú umučení vo dne i v noci na večné veky.
Posledný súd
11 Potom som videl veľký biely trón i toho, čo na ňom sedel. Pred jeho pohľadom sa rozplynuli zem aj nebo a nezostalo po nich ani stopy.
12 A videl som mŕtvych, veľkých aj malých, ako stoja pred trónom, a otvorili sa knihy. Otvorila sa aj kniha života. A mŕtvi boli odsúdení podľa svojich skutkov zapísaných v tých knihách.
13 More, smrť aj jej ríša vydali svojich mŕtvych a každý bol súdený podľa svojich skutkov.
14 Potom smrť i jej ríša boli zvrhnuté do horiaceho jazera. To je druhá smrť: horiace jazero.
15 A kto nebol zapísaný v knihe života, takisto bol uvrhnutý do horiaceho jazera.
Revelation 20
New International Version
The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,(A) having the key(B) to the Abyss(C) and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan,(D) and bound him for a thousand years.(E) 3 He threw him into the Abyss,(F) and locked and sealed(G) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations(H) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4 I saw thrones(I) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(J) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(K) because of their testimony about Jesus(L) and because of the word of God.(M) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(N) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(O) They came to life and reigned(P) 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.(Q) 6 Blessed(R) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death(S) has no power over them, but they will be priests(T) of God and of Christ and will reign with him(U) for a thousand years.
The Judgment of Satan
7 When the thousand years are over,(V) Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations(W) in the four corners of the earth(X)—Gog and Magog(Y)—and to gather them for battle.(Z) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(AA) 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(AB) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(AC) But fire came down from heaven(AD) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(AE) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(AF) where the beast(AG) and the false prophet(AH) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(AI)
The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne(AJ) and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,(AK) and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,(AL) standing before the throne, and books were opened.(AM) Another book was opened, which is the book of life.(AN) The dead were judged(AO) according to what they had done(AP) as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades(AQ) gave up the dead(AR) that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.(AS) 14 Then death(AT) and Hades(AU) were thrown into the lake of fire.(AV) The lake of fire is the second death.(AW) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life(AX) was thrown into the lake of fire.
