<h3>The Thousand Years</h3>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. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 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. 4 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 about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share 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. <h3>The Judgment of Satan</h3> 7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth —Gog and Magog —and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 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. 10 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. <h3>The Judgment of the Dead</h3> 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. <h3>A New Heaven and a New Earth</h3>21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars —they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” <h3>The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb</h3> 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. <h3>Eden Restored</h3>22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. <h3>John and the Angel</h3> 6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.” 7 <woj>“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.” </woj> 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!” 10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.” <h3>Epilogue: Invitation and Warning</h3> 12 <woj>“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. </woj> 13 <woj>I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. </woj> 14 <woj>“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. </woj> 15 <woj>Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.</woj> 16 <woj>“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” </woj> 17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. 20 He who testifies to these things says, <woj>“Yes, I am coming soon.” </woj>Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Revelation 22:21

 1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,   having the key   to the Abyss   and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan,   and bound him for a thousand years.   3 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. 4 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 about Jesus   and because of the word of God.   They  had not worshiped the beast   or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.   They came to life and reigned   with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.   6 Blessed   and holy are those who share 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. 7 When the thousand years are over,   Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations   in the four corners of the earth  —Gog and Magog  —and to gather them for battle.   In number they are like the sand on the seashore.   9 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. 10 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.   11 Then I saw a great white throne   and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,   and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,   standing before the throne, and books were opened.   Another book was opened, which is the book of life.   The dead were judged   according to what they had done   as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades   gave up the dead   that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.   14 Then death   and Hades   were thrown into the lake of fire.   The lake of fire is the second death.   15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life   was thrown into the lake of fire. 1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”    for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,   and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City,   the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,   prepared as a bride   beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.   They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.   4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.   There will be no more death’    or mourning or crying or pain,   for the old order of things has passed away.”   5 He who was seated on the throne   said, “I am making everything new!”   Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”   6 He said to me: “It is done.   I am the Alpha and the Omega,   the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost   from the spring of the water of life.   7 Those who are victorious   will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.   8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars  —they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.   This is the second death.”   9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues   came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride,   the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away   in the Spirit   to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.   11 It shone with the glory of God,   and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper,   clear as crystal.   12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates,   and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.   13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations,   and on them were the names of the twelve apostles   of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod   of gold to measure the city, its gates   and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia  in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human   measurement, and it was 144 cubits  thick.  18 The wall was made of jasper,   and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.   19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.   The first foundation was jasper,   the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,   the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.  21 The twelve gates   were twelve pearls,   each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.   22 I did not see a temple   in the city, because the Lord God Almighty   and the Lamb   are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God   gives it light,   and the Lamb   is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.   25 On no day will its gates   ever be shut,   for there will be no night there.   26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.   27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,   but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.   1 Then the angel showed me the river   of the water of life,   as clear as crystal,   flowing   from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,   bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.   3 No longer will there be any curse.   The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.   4 They will see his face,   and his name will be on their foreheads.   5 There will be no more night.   They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.   And they will reign for ever and ever.   6 The angel said to me,   “These words are trustworthy and true.   The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,   sent his angel   to show his servants the things that must soon take place.” 7 “Look, I am coming soon!   Blessed   is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”   8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.   And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet   of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.   Worship God!”   10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up   the words of the prophecy of this scroll,   because the time is near.   11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”   12 “Look, I am coming soon!   My reward is with me,   and I will give to each person according to what they have done.   13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,   the First and the Last,   the Beginning and the End.   14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes,   that they may have the right to the tree of life   and may go through the gates   into the city.   15 Outside   are the dogs,   those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 “I, Jesus,   have sent my angel   to give you  this testimony for the churches.   I am the Root   and the Offspring of David,   and the bright Morning Star.”   17 The Spirit   and the bride   say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.   18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:   If anyone adds anything to them,   God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.   19 And if anyone takes words away   from this scroll of prophecy,   God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life   and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. 20 He who testifies to these things   says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”   Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.   21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.   Amen.

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
