Footnotes:
20:1-3 - The angel seizes Satan and casts him into the abyss, symbolizing Christ's victory over evil. This "millennial" moment paves the way for the peace and justice that characterize the Kingdom of God (see also Revelation 12:9 and Isaiah 24:21-23).
20:4-6 - The saints reign with Christ during the millennium, highlighting the reward of the faithful who suffered for His name. This is a symbol of hope for Christians facing persecution (see also Daniel 7:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:2-3).
20:7-10 - Satan's temporary release and ultimate defeat show that, despite temptations and evil, God's power is definitive. The battle of Armageddon is the final struggle between good and evil (see also Ezekiel 38:8-12 and 2 Thessalonians 2:8).
20:11-15 - The Last Judgment is described, where the dead are judged according to their works. This passage emphasizes divine justice and the need for salvation in Christ for eternal life (see also Matthew 25:31-46 and Romans 14:10-12).
20:14-15 - Death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, signifying the ultimate destruction of evil. This is the end of all evil power and the consummation of the Kingdom of God (see also 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 and 2 Peter 2:4).

Revelation chapter 20 reveals the millennium and the final judgment. What events mark the end of human history? This crucial text describes the imprisonment of Satan, the millennial reign of Christ, the final battle, and the great white throne judgment. The chapter addresses themes of final victory over evil, resurrection, and eternal judgment. Revelation 20 offers a vision of the outcome of the story of redemption. Examine with us five biblical passages that relate to the decisive events of this eschatological chapter.
Daniel 7:9-10: "As I watched, thrones were placed, and an old man sat down. His garment was white as snow; the hair was white as wool. His throne was enveloped in fire, and the wheels of the throne were on fire. A river of fire flowed out from before him. Thousands of thousands served him; millions and millions were before him. The court began the trial, and the books were opened." - This vision of divine judgment is similar to the great white throne scene in Revelation 20:11-12.
Ezekiel 38:2,9: "Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him [...] You will advance, arriving like a storm; you will be like a cloud that covers the earth, you and all your troops, and many people with you." - This prophecy about Gog and Magog is referenced in Revelation 20:8.
Isaiah 24:21-22: "On that day the Lord will punish the powers of heaven on high and the kings of the earth below. They will be gathered together like prisoners in a dungeon, confined in a prison and punished after many days." - This prophecy about the binding of evil powers relates to the binding of Satan in Revelation 20:1-3.
Daniel 12:1-2: "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects his people, will rise. There will be a time of trouble such as there has never been since the beginning of nations until then. But at that time his people, everyone whose name is written in the book, will be freed. Multitudes that sleep in the dust of the earth will wake up: some to eternal life, others to shame, to eternal contempt." - This prophecy about the resurrection and final judgment relates to the events described in Revelation 20:12-15.
Psalms 69:28: "Let them be blotted out of the book of life and not be included in the record of the righteous." - This verse mentions the book of life, which is central to the final judgment described in Revelation 20:12,15.
