I am just your fellow servant and the fellow servant of your fellow believers, those who speak the truth about Jesus. God is the one you should worship because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to speak the truth about Jesus!"

 \v 14 The armies of heaven were following him. They were riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes made of clean white linen.
-\v 15 A sharp sword extends from his mouth; with it he will strike the rebellious peoples. He himself will rule them powerfully, striking down all the nations as though he was hitting them with an iron rod. He will crush his enemies as a person crushes grapes in a winepress. He will do this for God, who rules over everything and who is furiously angry with them because of their sins.

 \v 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep, dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand.
-\v 2 He seized the dragon. That dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil, that is, Satan. The angel bound him with the chain. That chain could not be loosed for one thousand years.
-\v 3 The angel threw him into the deep, dark pit. He shut the door of the pit, locked it, and sealed it to prevent anyone from opening it. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive all the people who lived in the many nations, until one thousand years are ended. After that time, Satan must go free for a short time in order that he can do what God has planned.

 \v 12 I saw that the people who had died but now lived again were standing in front of the throne. There were both important and unimportant people! The books in which God records what people do were opened. Another book was also opened, which is the Book of Life in which God has written the names of people who have eternal life. God judged the people who had died and now lived again according to what they had done, just as he had recorded it in the books.
