REVELATION
«Chapter 20»

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Thank you, Dan, as always.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure, Alba, as always.

After what Arnold Schwarzenegger just said about heaven and how he doesn’t believe in it, it’s nice to be reminded of the truth of the reality and existence of heaven. Thanks, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I hadn’t heard that about ol’ Arnold. What a fool. He’s in the majority and dead wrong. Soon, he’ll just be dead.

[No name given]

I heard about it over at Breitbart.

[Angelino97]

Some Catholic theologians say that "the thousand years" began with the resurrection, and that we are currently still in it.

"The thousand years" is not a literal thousand years, but symbolizes a long period of time. And that "Satan is bound in chains" means that God is protecting his Church, limiting Satan's power to do harm, just as he did with Satan's attacks on Job.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, there are varying interpretations: none of them is necessary for salvation.

"Attack on the Holy City"

I think they misplaced a decimal.

God’s Takeing out the Trash !

[Hebrews 11:6]

No recycling.

[Big Red Badger]

Yuppers!
Your tag line is timely Dan.

[etabeta]

A page from one the most exquisite manuscripts of the 13th c. - The Douce Apocalypse - It’s worth looking at the other pages.

[Savage Beast]

These pictures are exquisite.

[SisterK]

Satan in #15 looks like he was borrowed out of a Farside comic strip :)

#21
heaven is My home
the earth is My footstool

[SisterK]

#41 is a hell of an image

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hell doesn’t need to advertise to attract people, who are determined to go there. Even if hell advertised using #41, those people would still flock to go, because to them the alternative—bowing to God—is far worse.

[SisterK]

and this is so tragic

God in His infinite mercy and love offered us a way to enjoy His presence forever
yet many reject Him

He didn’t have to save any of us
but yet He did
for this I will be forever thankful
