 The dragon, released to gather the nations for battle
(REV. 20:7-8)

 The dragon thrown into the lake of fire
(REV. 20:10)

 The great white throne judgment
(REV. 20:11-13)

 The books are opened and also the book of life
(REV. 20:12-13)

 The lake of fire
(REV. 20:14-15)
ASV (Rev 20:7-8)
7.  And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
 8.  and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: The number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

ASV (Rev 20:10)
 10.  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

ASV (Rev 20:11-13)
11.  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
 12.  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: And another book was opened, which is the book of life: And the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
 13.  And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: And they were judged every man according to their works.

ASV (Rev 20:14-15)
14.  And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.
 15.  And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.








 The Angel Who was Talking to John
(Rev 21:15)

 The city four-square; new Jerusalem
(REV. 21:1-21)

 The foundations of the city
(REV. 21:12-14 and REV. 21:19-20)

 Through the gate of the eternal city
(REV. 21:21-27 and REV. 22:1-6)
ASV (Rev 21:1-21)
1.  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: For the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
 2.  And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
 3.  And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God:
 4.  and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: The first things are passed away.
 5.  And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: For these words are faithful and true.
 6.  And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
 7.  He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
 8.  But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
 9.  And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
 10.  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
 11.  Having the glory of God: Her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
 12.  Having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
 13.  On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
 14.  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 15.  And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
 16.  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: The length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
 17.  And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
 18.  And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: And the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.
 19.  The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
 20.  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
 21.  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
 22.  And I saw no temple therein: For the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.
 23.  And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: For the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.
 24.  And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: And the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
 25.  And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
 26.  And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
 27.  And there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: But only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.

ASV (Rev 22:1-6)
 1.  And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
 2.  in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
 3.  And there shall be no curse any more: And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: And his servants shall serve him;
 4.  and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads.
 5.  And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: And they shall reign for ever and ever.
 6.  And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angels to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass.
