The wild animal was taken. The false preacher was taken with it. It was the false preacher who had done powerful works in front of the wild animal. In this way, he fooled those who had received the mark of the wild animal and those who worshiped his false god. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had in his hand a key to the hole without a bottom. He also had a strong chain.

Then I saw thrones. Those who were sitting there were given the power to judge. I saw the souls of those who had been killed because they told about Jesus and preached the Word of God. They had not worshiped the wild animal or his false god. They had not received his mark on their foreheads or hands. They lived again and were leaders along with Christ for 1,000 years.

When the 1,000 years are finished, Satan will be free to leave his prison.

I heard a loud voice coming from heaven. It said, "See! God's home is with men. He will live with them. They will be His people. God Himself will be with them. He will be their God.

He who has power and wins will receive these things. I will be his God and he will be My son.

The angel had a stick in his hand. It was used to find out how big the city and its gates and the walls were.

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

Then the angel said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the early preachers has sent His angel to show the servants He owns what must happen soon."

"I am Jesus. I have sent My angel to you with these words to the churches. I am the beginning of David and of his family. I am the bright Morning Star."

If anyone takes away any part of this book that tells what will happen in the future, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the Holy City, which are told about in this book.
