19 Then I saw the beast(A) and the kings of the earth(B) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(C) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(D) who had performed the signs(E) on its behalf.(F) With these signs he had deluded(G) those who had received the mark of the beast(H) and worshiped its image.(I) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(J) of burning sulfur.(K) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(L) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(M) and all the birds(N) gorged themselves on their flesh.

The Thousand Years

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