‏ Revelation of John 20:1-3

The Thousand Years

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ^aholding in his hand the key to ^bthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Greek the abyss; also verse 3} and a great chain. 2 And he seized ^dthe dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and ^ebound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into ^fthe pit, and shut it and ^gsealed it over him, so that ^hhe might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
