1. The thousand years (1-6)

There seem to be three stages of the final judgment. First, Satan the deceiver is locked in the Abyss for a thousand years. Those who do not have the mark of the beast will reign with Christ.

2. Satan's doom (7-10)

After a thousand years, Satan will be released for a short time to deceive many people, then he will be cast into the lake of burning sulfur to be tormented forever.

3. The great white throne (11-15)

On the final day of judgment the living and the dead will stand before the throne of God. The books will be opened and every man will be judged according to his deeds. Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Application: Lord, thank you for your grace given through the blood of Jesus that put my name in the book of life. Help me not to be deceived by the devil.
One Word: Is your name written there?
