Revelation 20:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

The 1,000 years

20 Then I saw an angel who was coming down from heaven. He was holding the key to the deep hole.^[a] He also held a great chain in his hand. ² He took hold of the dragon. That dragon is the Devil and Satan. He is the snake who has lived since long ago.^[b] The angel tied up the dragon with the chain for 1,000 years. ³ Then he threw the dragon into the deep hole. He closed the door to the deep hole, and he locked it with the key. He put a seal on the door. During that time, Satan could no longer deceive the people of all nations. But after the 1,000 years have finished, he must go free for a short time.
