But the holy people of the Most High God will receive the kingdom. They will possess it forever. It will belong to them for ever and ever.’

I saw thrones. Those who had been given authority to judge were sitting on them. I also saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off. They had been killed because they had spoken what was true about Jesus. They had also been killed because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue. They had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus said to them.“ When all things are made new, the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne. Then you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones. You will judge the 12 tribes of Israel.

“ As I watched,“ thrones were set in place. The Eternal God took his seat. His clothes were as white as snow. The hair on his head was white like wool. His throne was blazing with fire. And flames were all around its wheels.A river of fire was flowing. It was coming out from in front of God. Thousands and thousands of angels served him. Millions of them stood in front of him. The court was seated. And the books were opened.“ Then I continued to watch because of the way the horn was bragging. I kept looking until the fourth animal was killed. I watched until its body was destroyed. It was thrown into the blazing fire.

I saw heaven standing open. There in front of me was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True. When he judges or makes war, he is always fair.His eyes are like blazing fire. On his head are many crowns. A name is written on him that only he knows.He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God.The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses. They were dressed in fine linen, white and clean.Coming out of the rider’s mouth is a sharp sword. He will strike down the nations with the sword. Scripture says,“ He will rule them with an iron scepter.”( Psalm 2:9) He stomps on the grapes of God’s winepress. The winepress stands for the terrible anger of the God who rules over all.Here is the name that is written on the rider’s robe and on his thigh. the greatest king of all and the most powerful lord of allI saw an angel standing in the sun. He shouted to all the birds flying high in the air,“ Come! Gather together for the great supper of God.Come and eat the dead bodies of kings, generals, and other mighty people. Eat the bodies of horses and their riders. Eat the bodies of all people, free and slave, great and small.”Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies. They had gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.But the beast and the false prophet were captured. The false prophet had done signs for the beast. In this way the false prophet had tricked some people. Those people had received the mark of the beast and had worshiped its statue. The beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire. The lake of fire burns with sulfur.The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the rider’s mouth. All the birds stuffed themselves with the dead bodies.

And I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom.Then you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

A second angel followed him. He said,“‘ Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!’( Isaiah 21:9) The city of Babylon made all the nations drink the strong wine of her terrible sins.”A third angel followed them. He said in a loud voice,“ There will be trouble for anyone who worships the beast and its statue! There will be trouble for anyone who has its mark on their forehead or their hand!They, too, will drink the wine of God’s great anger. His wine has been poured full strength into the cup of his anger. They will be burned with flaming sulfur. The holy angels and the Lamb will see it happen.The smoke of their terrible suffering will rise for ever and ever. Day and night, there will be no rest for anyone who worships the beast and its statue. There will be no rest for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”God’s people need to be very patient. They are the ones who obey God’s commands. And they remain faithful to Jesus.Then I heard a voice from heaven.“ Write this,” it said.“ Blessed are the dead who die as believers in the Lord from now on.”“ Yes,” says the Holy Spirit.“ They will rest from their labor. What they have done will not be forgotten.”I looked, and there in front of me was a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was one who looked“ like a son of man.”( Daniel 7:13) He wore a gold crown on his head. In his hand was a sharp, curved blade for cutting grain.Then another angel came out of the temple. He called in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud.“ Take your blade,” he said.“ Cut the grain. The time has come. The earth is ready to be harvested.”So the one sitting on the cloud swung his blade over the earth. And the earth was harvested.Another angel came out of the temple in heaven. He too had a sharp, curved blade.Still another angel came from the altar. He was in charge of the fire on the altar. He called out in a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp blade.“ Take your blade,” he said,“ and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth’s vine. Its grapes are ripe.”So the angel swung his blade over the earth. He gathered its grapes. Then he threw them into a huge winepress. The winepress stands for God’s anger.In the winepress outside the city, the grapes were stomped on. Blood flowed out of the winepress. It spread over the land for about 180 miles. It rose as high as the horses’ heads.

Then the man of sin will appear. The Lord Jesus will overthrow him with the breath of his mouth. The glorious brightness of Jesus’ coming will destroy the man of sin.

Or don’t you know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? Since this is true, aren’t you able to judge small cases?Don’t you know that we will judge angels? Then we should be able to judge the things of this life even more!

But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the witnesses. They both stood up. Terror struck those who saw them.Then the two witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven. It said to them,“ Come up here.” They went up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies watched it happen.At that same time there was a powerful earthquake. A tenth of the city crumbled and fell. In the earthquake, 7,000 people were killed. Those who lived through it were terrified. They gave glory to the God of heaven.The second terrible judgment has passed. The third is coming soon.The seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven. They said,“ The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah. He will rule for ever and ever.”The 24 elders were sitting on their thrones in front of God. They fell on their faces and worshiped God.They said,“ Lord God who rules over all, we give thanks to you. You are the God who is and who was. We give you thanks. That’s because you have begun to rule with your great power.The nations were angry, and the time for your anger has come. The time has come to judge the dead. It is time to reward your servants the prophets and your people who honor you. There is a reward for all your people, both great and small. It is time to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

They marched across the whole earth. They surrounded the place where God’s holy people were camped. It was the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and burned them up.The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

You have made them members of a royal family. You have made them priests to serve our God. They will rule on the earth.”

I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies. The year for me to set my people free had come.

‘ Here is what I will do for anyone who has victory over sin. I will give that person the right to sit with me on my throne. In the same way, I had victory. Then I sat down with my Father on his throne.

He has made us members of his royal family. He has made us priests who serve his God and Father. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ for ever and ever! Amen.
