His eyes are like burning fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him, which no one but himself knows.

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

On his robe and on his upper leg was written this name: king of kings and lord of lords .

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth. Their armies were gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.

But the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who did the miracles for the beast. The false prophet had used these miracles to trick those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his idol. The false prophet and the beast were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand.

Then I saw some thrones and people sitting on them who had been given the power to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been killed because they were faithful to the message of Jesus and the message from God. They had not worshiped the beast or his idol, and they had not received the mark of the beast on their foreheads or on their hands. They came back to life and ruled with Christ for a thousand years.

When the thousand years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Now God's presence is with people, and he will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God.

They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.

The angel said to me, "These words can be trusted and are true." The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon.
