Satan Bound
1 I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand. 2 He overpowered the serpent, that ancient snake, named Devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1,000 years. 3 He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were over. After that it must be set free for a little while.
4 I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were allowed to judge. Then I saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue and were not branded on their foreheads or hands. They lived and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years. 5 The rest of the dead did not live until the 1,000 years ended. This is the first time that people come back to life. 6 Blessed and holy are those who are included the first time that people come back to life. The second death has no power over them. They will continue to be priests of God and Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years.
7 When 1,000 years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison. 8 He will go out to deceive Gog and Magog, the nations in the four corners of the earth, and gather them for war. They will be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore. 9 [I saw that] they spread over the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's holy people and the beloved city. Fire came from heaven and burned them up. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were also thrown. They will be tortured day and night forever and ever.
11 I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence, but no place was found for them. 12 I saw the dead, both important and unimportant people, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened, including the Book of Life. The dead were judged on the basis of what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead. Death and hell gave up their dead. People were judged based on what they had done. 14 Death and hell were thrown into the fiery lake. (The fiery lake is the second death.) 15 Those whose names were not found in the Book of Life were thrown into the fiery lake. — Revelation 20 | God's Word Translation (GWT) The Holy Bible, GOD’S WORD® Translation Copyright 1995 by God’s Word to the Nations.

Revelation 20: An Imperial Triumphal Procession
Satan had been conquered, Satan’s allies vanquished, even the beast and its false prophet had been summarily done away with. Christ was the clear victor, God’s beloved people finally safe. Why not just throw away the key? #Revelation20 #TriumphalMarch
Revelation 19, 20: An Imperial Triumphal Parade Two years ago, as I was enjoying an intensive week of classes and student gatherings at Portland Seminary, a young professor named Shane Wood gave a guest lecture on what he called “An Alter-Imperial Interpretation of Revelation 20:7-10,” from his book “The Alter-Imperial Paradigm.” Below is the summary of his fascinating perspective. Why Must…

Judgment Day for the Damned
This is a topic that many would rather not think about. To be honest, I’d rather not write about it; but to be thorough it is a topic that concerns existence after death about which the Bible speaks. Judgment Day for the damned is something that you will observe in part. Hopefully, because of the grace that comes through Jesus, it is not something that you will experience. Judgment Day as a…

What About Hell?
Hell is the place where all sinners (unbelievers) from every dispensation are held until they are judged by God, namely, the Great White Throne Judgment in future (Revelation 20). Hell is a prison where its inmates do not get parole neither pardon nor appeal (as we can see from Luke 16 from verse 19 onwards). Romans 2:5-9 – Authorised Version But after thy hardness and impenitent heart…

God’s Greatness and Holiness
17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there…

The Great White Throne
The Great White Throne
Revelation 20.7-15 At the end of the thousand years, Satan is released to once more deceive the nations and gather them for one last battle, which isn’t much of a battle. Fire comes down from heaven to consume the enemies who have surrounded the camp of the saints, and the devil is thrown into the lake of fire. The great white throne is set up, and the sheep are separated from the goats. I seem…

Revelation 20: Satan's Last Stand
What do Ezekiel and Paul have to add to John's oracle about Satan and the Lake of Fire? #Revelation20 #LakeofFire #Ezekiel38 2Thessalonians2 #GogandMagog
Then, when the thousand years shall come to an end, the Adversary [Satan] will be released out of his prison, and he will go forth to lead astray the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them before the battle, of whom the number of them is as the sand of the sea. Then they went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the encampment of the holy and…

saw a post by @/cariocake saying smth along the lines of "i hope Bucky's adventuring party is patient with him"
and like!! fuckin please,,,
i hope Bucky's party sees him for the kid he really is
devout (ish?) follower of Helio, yes. crossing a line with the whole "conversion" talk, definitely.
but up to his neck in a religion cult that prioritizes lofty ideals over the individual, religious trauma he's yet to unpack, and experiencing a community completely different from the one he grew up with for the very first time (and supposedly "straying" according to one buddy dawn)
I hope they can see Bucky as the Bad Kids saw Kristen in freshman year. Fucked up, annoying, but with a good heart. And I hope that his party members help him overcome the parts of his childhood that he may discover he doesn't like. You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.

The Latter Days
1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of…
