V 001 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
V 002 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
V 003 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal upon 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.
V 004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, 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; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.
V 005 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection.
V 006 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God
and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
V 007 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out
of his prison,
V 008 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to
battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
V 009 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the
camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from
God out of heaven, and devoured them.
V 010 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.
V 011 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place
for them.
V 012 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before 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 written in
the books, according to their works.
V 013 And 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.
V 014 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death.
V 015 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire. |

الألف سنة
1-
ثُمَ رَأيتُ ملاكًا نازِلاً مِنَ السَّماءِ يَحمِلُ بِيَدِهِ
مِفتاحَ الهاوِيَةِ وسِلسِلَةً عَظيمةً.
2-
فأمسَكَ
التِّنِّينَ، تِلكَ الحيَّةَ القَديمةَ، أي إبليسَ أوِ
الشَّيطانَ، وقيَّدَهُ لألفِ سنَةٍ
3-
ورَماهُ في الهاوِيَةِ
وأقفَلَها علَيهِ وخَتَمَها، فلا يُضَلِّلُ الأُمَمَ بَعدُ،
حتى تَتِمَ الألفُ السنةِ، ولا بُدَ مِنْ إطلاقِهِ بَعدَ
ذلِكَ لِوَقتٍ قَليلٍ.
4-
ورأَيتُ عُروشًا جلَسَ علَيها الذينَ أُعطوا سُلطَةَ
القَضاءِ. ورأَيتُ نُفوسَ الذينَ سَقَطوا قَتلى في سَبيلِ
الشَّهادَةِ لِيَسوعَ وَسَبيلِ كَلِمَةِ الله والذينَ ما
سَجَدوا لِلوَحشِ ولا لِصورَتِهِ وما نالوا على جِباهِهِم أو
أيديهِم سِمَةَ الوَحشِ، فعاشوا ومَلَكوا معَ المَسيحِ ألفَ
سنَةٍ.
5-
أمَّا بَقِيَّةُ الأمواتِ فلا يَعيشونَ قَبلَ أنْ
تَتِمَ الألفُ السَّنةِ. هذِهِ هِيَ القيامَةُ الأولى.
6-
مُبارَكٌ ومُقَدَّسٌ مَنْ كانَ لَه نَصيبٌ في القيامَةِ
الأولى، فلا سُلطانَ لِلمَوتِ الثاني علَيهِم، بَل يكونونَ
كَهنَةَ الله والمَسيحِ ويَملِكونَ معَهُ ألفَ سنَةٍ.
سقوط إبليس
7-
ومتى تَمَّتِ الألفُ السَّنةِ، يُطلَقُ الشَّيطانُ مِنْ
سجنِهِ،
8-
فيَخرُجُ لِيُضَلِّلَ الأُمَمَ التي في زَوايا
الأرضِ الأربعِ، أي جوجَ وماجوجَ، فيَجمَعُهُم
لِلقِتالِ، وعَدَدُهُم عدَدُ رَملِ البحرِ.
9-
فصَعِدوا على وَجهِ الأرضِ وأحاطوا بِمُعسكَرِ
القِدِّيسينَ وبِالمدينةِ المَحبوبَةِ، فنَزَلَت
نارٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ فأكَلَتْهُم.
10-
وأُلقِيَ إبليسُ
الذي ضَلَّلَهُم في بُحيرَةِ النارِ والكِبريتِ،
حَيثُ كانَ الوَحشُ والنَّبِيُّ الكَذّابُ،
لِيتَعذَّبوا كُلُّهُم نهارًا ولَيلاً إلى أبَدِ
الدُّهورِ.
يوم الدينونة
11-
ثُمَ رأَيتُ عَرشًا أبيضَ عَظيمًا، ورأَيتُ الجالِسَ
علَيهِ، وهوَ الذي هَرَبَت مِنْ أمام وَجهِهِ الأرضُ
والسماءُ وما بَقِيَ لهُما أثَرٌ.
12-
ورأَيتُ الأمواتَ كِبارًا وَصغارًا واقِفينَ أمامَ
العَرشِ. واَنفَتَحتِ الكُتُبُ، ثُمَ اَنفَتَحَ
كِتابٌ آخَرُ هوَ كِتابُ الحياةِ، وعُوقِبَ الأمواتُ
مِثلَما في الكُتُبِ، كُلُّ واحِدٍ بأعمالِهِ.
13-
وقَذَفَ البحرُ الأمواتَ الذينَ فيهِ، وقَذَفَ
الموتُ ومَثوى الأمواتِ ما فيهِما مِنَ الأمواتِ.
فَعُوقِبَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ بِأعمالِهِ.
14-
وأُلقِيَ الموتُ ومَثوى الأَمواتِ في بُحَيرَةِ
النارِ، وهذِهِ البُحَيرةُ هِيَ الموتُ الثاني.
15-
وكُلُّ مَنْ كانَ اَسمُهُ غَيرَ موجودٍ في كِتابِ
الحياةِ أُلقِيَ في بُحَيرَةِ النار. |
