4th Sunday in December
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 20:4-15
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I
saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus
and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his
image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and
they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the
dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first
resurrection.
Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these
the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and
will reign with Him for a thousand years. And when the thousand years are completed,
Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations
which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together
for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And
the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where
the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever. And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books
were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead
were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up
the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to
their deeds. And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the
second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the
book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:4-15 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

Then I saw some thrones and people sitting on them. These were the people who had
been given the power to judge. And I saw the souls of those people who had been
killed because they were faithful to the truth of Jesus and the message from God.
Those people did not worship the animal or his idol. They did not receive the mark
of the animal on their foreheads or on their hands. Those people became alive again
and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years. (The other dead people did not live again
until the 1,000 years were ended.) This is the first raising of the dead.

Blessed (happy) and holy are those people who share in this first raising of the
dead. The second death has no power over those people. Those people will be priests
for God and for Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years. When the 1,000
years are ended, Satan (the devil) will be made free from his prison [in the bottomless
pit]. Satan will go out to trick the nations in all the earth--Gog and Magog. Satan
will gather the people for battle. There will be so many people that they will be
like sand on the seashore.

Satan's army marched across the earth and gathered around the camp of God's people
and the city that God loves. But fire came down from heaven and destroyed Satan's
army. And Satan (the one who tricked those people) was thrown into the lake of burning
sulfur with the animal and the false prophet. There they will be tortured (punished)
day and night forever and ever. Then I saw a large white throne. I saw the One who
was sitting on the throne. Earth and sky ran away from him and disappeared.

And I saw the people that had died, great and small, standing before the throne.
And the book of life was opened. There were also other books opened. These dead
people were judged by the things they had done. These things are written in the
books. The sea gave up the dead people that were in it. Death and Hades gave up
the dead people that were in them. Each person was judged by the things he had
done. And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is
the second death. And if a person's name was not found written in the book of life,
then that person was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:4-15
