Revelation 20 Cross References - BBE

¹ And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the great deep and a great chain in his hand. ² And he took the dragon, the old snake, which is the Evil One and Satan, and put chains on him for a thousand years, ³ And put him into the great deep, and it was shut and locked over him, so that he might put the nations in error no longer, till the thousand years were ended: after this he will be let loose for a little time. ⁴ And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years. ⁵ The rest of the dead did not come to life again till the thousand years were ended. This is the first coming back from the dead. ⁶ Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years. ⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison, ⁸ And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea. ⁹ And they went up over the face of the earth, and made a circle about the tents of the saints, and the well loved town: and fire came down out of heaven for their destruction. ¹⁰ And the Evil One who put them in error was sent down into the sea of ever-burning fire, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their punishment will go on day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works. ¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not in the book of life, he went down into the sea of fire.

And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord. ⁴ And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord. ⁵ This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life; ⁶ And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord. ⁷ So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone. ⁸ And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them. ⁹ And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life. ¹⁰ And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army. ¹¹ Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely. ¹² For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel. ¹³ And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people. ¹⁴ And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.

¹⁸ But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.

²² Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.

¹⁶ And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven. ¹⁸ And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

²⁷ For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

¹⁰ And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first? ¹¹ And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right: ¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands. ¹³ Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

¹⁰ And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.

²⁴ For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

³⁵ Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

¹¹ And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

⁴³ And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal fire. ⁴⁴ (OMITTED TEXT) ⁴⁵ And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell. ⁴⁶ (OMITTED TEXT) ⁴⁷ And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell, ⁴⁸ Where their worm is ever living and the fire is not put out.

¹⁶ He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.

¹⁷ And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.

³¹ And they made a request to him that he would not give them an order to go away into the deep.

⁷ Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead; ⁸ And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life. ⁹ And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?

²⁰ Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

²⁰ But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you. ²¹ When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe: ²² But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.

¹⁴ And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead. ¹⁵ And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

²⁹ But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

⁴³ For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,

²⁰ But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

³⁰ So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁸ The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

³⁶ He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

²⁸ Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead, ²⁹ And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; ²⁶ And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

³¹ Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.

⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

¹⁹ A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

¹¹ Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

³⁰ Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart: ³¹ Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

¹⁵ Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.

⁵ But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness; ⁶ Who will give to every man his right reward:

¹⁷ And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

¹⁵ For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

¹ For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

¹⁰ But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge. ¹¹ For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God. ¹² So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

²⁰ And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

² Is it not certain that the saints will be the judges of the world? if then the world will be judged by you, are you unable to give a decision about the smallest things? ³ Is it not certain that we are to be the judges of angels? how much more then of the things of this life?

²¹ For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead. ²² For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life. ²³ But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

²⁶ The last power to come to an end is death.

⁵⁰ Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life. ⁵¹ See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed. ⁵² In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed. ⁵³ For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

⁵³ For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life. ⁵⁴ But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life. ⁵⁵ O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains? ⁵⁶ The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: ⁵⁷ But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

¹⁰ For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

³ But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

¹³ For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light. ¹⁵ So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

¹¹ If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.

³ And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping. ¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first; ¹⁷ Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.

⁸ To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

⁹ Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, ¹⁰ And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation. ¹¹ And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false: ¹² If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

³ What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

¹⁴ And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

¹² So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.

²⁵ See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

¹³ Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

⁴ For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged;

⁷ But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men. ⁸ But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing then that all these things are coming to such an end, what sort of persons is it right for you to be, in all holy behaviour and righteousness, ¹² Looking for and truly desiring the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will come to an end through fire, and the substance of the earth will be changed by the great heat?

¹¹ And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

⁶ And the angels who did not keep to their kingdom but went out from the place which was theirs, he has put in eternal chains and in dark night till the great day of the judging.

⁶ And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.

⁹ I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.

¹⁸ And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell.

¹¹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

²³ And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.

⁵ He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.

²¹ To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

² Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;

⁹ And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation, ¹⁰ And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth.

¹⁰ And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth.

⁸ And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth. ⁹ And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept.

¹⁴ And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places.

¹ And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep. ² And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.

¹¹ They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon.

¹ And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of coloured light was round his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;

³ And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth.

⁵ And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

⁷ And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

¹¹ And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them.

¹⁵ And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

¹⁸ And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean.

⁸ And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.

¹¹ And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was forced down to the earth, he made cruel attacks on the woman who gave birth to the male child.

¹⁵ And the snake sent out of his mouth after the woman a river of water, so that she might be taken away by the stream.

¹⁷ And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus:

² And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority.

⁴ And they gave worship to the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and worshipping the beast, they said, Who is like the beast? and who is able to go to war with him?

⁸ And all who are on the earth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death.

¹² And he makes use of all the authority of the first beast before his eyes. And he makes the earth and those who are in it give worship to the first beast, whose death-wound was made well. ¹³ And he does great signs, even making fire come down from heaven on the earth before the eyes of men.

¹³ And he does great signs, even making fire come down from heaven on the earth before the eyes of men. ¹⁴ And those who are on the earth are turned from the true way by him through the signs which he was given power to do before the beast; giving orders to those who are on the earth to make an image to the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and came to life.

¹⁴ And those who are on the earth are turned from the true way by him through the signs which he was given power to do before the beast; giving orders to those who are on the earth to make an image to the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and came to life. ¹⁵ And he had power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that words might come from the image of the beast, and that he might have all those who did not give worship to the image of the beast put to death. ¹⁶ And he gives to all, small and great, the poor and those who have wealth, the free and those who are not free, a mark on their right hand or on their brows; ¹⁷ So that no man might be able to do trade but he who has the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.

¹⁰ To him will be given of the wine of God's wrath which is ready unmixed in the cup of his wrath and he will have cruel pain, burning with fire before the holy angels and before the Lamb: ¹¹ And the smoke of their pain goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, who give worship to the beast and his image, and have on them the mark of his name.

¹¹ And the smoke of their pain goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, who give worship to the beast and his image, and have on them the mark of his name.

¹³ And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them.

² And I saw a sea which seemed like glass mixed with fire; and those who had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name, were in their places by the sea of glass, with God's instruments of music in their hands.

¹³ And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs. ¹⁴ For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all.

¹⁴ For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all. ¹⁵ See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen. ¹⁶ And they got them together into the place which is named in Hebrew Armageddon.

²⁰ And every island went in flight, and the mountains were seen no longer.

² With whom the kings of the earth made themselves unclean, and those who are on the earth were full of the wine of her evil desires.

⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the great deep, and to go into destruction. And those who are on the earth, whose names have not been put in the book of life from the first, will be full of wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and still will be.

¹ After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was bright with his glory.

⁵ And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him.

¹¹ And the heaven was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire. ²¹ And the rest were put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their flesh.

¹ And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the great deep and a great chain in his hand. ² And he took the dragon, the old snake, which is the Evil One and Satan, and put chains on him for a thousand years,

² And he took the dragon, the old snake, which is the Evil One and Satan, and put chains on him for a thousand years, ³ And put him into the great deep, and it was shut and locked over him, so that he might put the nations in error no longer, till the thousand years were ended: after this he will be let loose for a little time.

³ And put him into the great deep, and it was shut and locked over him, so that he might put the nations in error no longer, till the thousand years were ended: after this he will be let loose for a little time. ⁴ And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years. ⁵ The rest of the dead did not come to life again till the thousand years were ended. This is the first coming back from the dead. ⁶ Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years. ⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison, ⁸ And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea.

⁸ And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea.

⁸ And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea. ⁹ And they went up over the face of the earth, and made a circle about the tents of the saints, and the well loved town: and fire came down out of heaven for their destruction.

⁹ And they went up over the face of the earth, and made a circle about the tents of the saints, and the well loved town: and fire came down out of heaven for their destruction. ¹⁰ And the Evil One who put them in error was sent down into the sea of ever-burning fire, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their punishment will go on day and night for ever and ever.

¹⁰ And the Evil One who put them in error was sent down into the sea of ever-burning fire, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their punishment will go on day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works. ¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire.

¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not in the book of life, he went down into the sea of fire.

¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not in the book of life, he went down into the sea of fire.

¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea.

⁴ And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

⁸ But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.

²⁷ And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

⁷ See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet.

¹² See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.
