Rev 20:1

Then I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand.

Rev 20:2

He seized the dragon--that old serpent, the devil, satan --and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

Rev 20:3

The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he would be released again for a little while.

The souls of them that were beheaded by the antichrist for the witness of Yeshua, 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!

1. For the witness (testimony) of Yeshua
2. For the Word of God
3. For not worshiping the beast
4. For not worshiping his image
5. For not taking his mark upon their foreheads
6. For not taking his mark in their hands

Rev 20:4

Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus, for proclaiming the word of God. And I saw the souls of those who had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Rev 20:5

This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)

Rev 20:7

When the thousand years end, satan will be let out of his prison.
