Revelation 20:1-5/ Young

1. And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand,
2. and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,
3. and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.
4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;
5. and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising again.
