Revelation 20 describes the scene in which Satan is arrested for a thousand years and Christ reigns with the saints on earth. Five verses related to the topics covered in Revelation 20 are:
2 Peter 3:7: "And the heavens and the earth that now exist by the same word reserve as a treasure, and keep themselves into fire until the day of judgment, and the perdition of the wicked men."

Matthew 19:28: "Jesus said unto them, TRUTH I say unto you, That have followed me, when, in regeneration, the Son of man sitting on the throne of his glory, ye shall be on twelve tribes to judge the twelve tribes. from Israel. " This verse talks about regeneration, which can be interpreted as the reign of a thousand years of Christ on earth.
Luke 22:30: "That you may eat and drink to my table in my kingdom, and set on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." This verse also talks about the kingdom of Christ and the participation of the saints in the tribute of the tribes of Israel.
1 Corinthians 6:2: "Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? Now if the world must be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the minimal things?" This verse reinforces the idea that the saints will participate in the judgment in the kingdom of Christ.
Isaiah 2:2: "And it will happen in the last days that the hill of the Lord's house will be established on the summit of the mountains, and will rise over the hills; and all nations will be contributed to him." This verse talks about the universality of the kingdom of Christ, which will be established after the judgment.
