NASB | Revelation 20:4 ¶ Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:4 ¶ And then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom judgment [that is, the authority to act as judges] was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had refused to worship the beast or his image, and had not accepted his mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Bible Question:
Does anyone know how long is a short time for Satan's reign on this earth? Rev 20:1-3 said that he'd be locked up for a thousand years then released to us. Could someone tell me when that thousand years began, when it ended, and how long more can we anticipate the dragon to be with us? |
Bible Answer: Word Study ... Short - Mikros (Strong's 3398) small, little ... Time - Chronos (Strong's 5550) time either long or short If we looked at "short time" we could be misled by the other NT references (Acts 5:34, 26:28-29; Heb 12:10), because the Greek is different. I thought about quickly. Tachu in the Greek (Strong's 5035) quickly, speedily (without delay) I am not sure about the time refereence ... but, it will happen - and we don't know how long it will be |
