Berean Standard Bible

“The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete. This is the first resurrection.”

Revelation 20:5

Save as image

Study note

Revelation 20 describes the binding of Satan for a thousand years, the reign of those who had been faithful, and a final rebellion before the last judgment. Christians understand the thousand years in different ways, including as a future earthly reign, a present spiritual reign, or a symbol of a complete period.
