# Revelation 20
## 20:1-6
### What does the angel do to Satan?
[20:2]
John wrote about an angel putting Satan into a type of prison. That is, Satan will be separated from people. Before this time, Satan tries to get people to serve him and do things that do not honor God. He also tries to get the rulers of different nations to serve him and do things that do not honor God. Satan will be in this prison for 1000 years. He will not be in this prison forever.
Some scholars think this has not happened yet. Other scholars think this was a metaphor. By dying, Jesus defeated Satan in some way. Other scholars think that John spoke about many people believing in Jesus. When this happens, people stop following Satan.
See: [Angel](../articles/angel.md); [Satan (The Devil)](../articles/satan.md); [Metaphor](../articles/metaphor.md)
### Who sat on the thrones?
[20:4]
Scholars do not know who sat on the thrones judging people. Some scholars think these were angels. Other scholars think these were the 24 elders John wrote about before (see: Revelation 4:4). Other scholars think these were all the people in heaven with God (see: Matthew 19:28). Other scholars think these were Christians the antichrist killed.
**Advice to translators**: A throne is a place where a leader sat when he rule. When he sat on the throne, he made rules for people to follow.
See: [Throne](../articles/throne.md);[Angel](../articles/angel.md); [Antichrist](../articles/antichrist.md)
### Who will rule with Jesus?
[20:4]
John talked about certain people ruling with Jesus. There were people killed because they believed in Jesus. They were people who did not worship the antichrist.
See: Revelation 13:16
See: [Antichrist](../articles/antichrist.md);[Worship](../articles/worship.md)
### When will Jesus rule the kingdom of God?
[20:4]
Scholars think the things John wrote about in these verses will happen at different times.
1. Some scholars think Jesus will return before he rules on the earth for 1000 years. Jesus will return to the earth and begin his kingdom. He will rule from Jerusalem. This will last for a thousand years. During this time, Satan will be in prison. There will be perfect peace and justice. This change will happen quickly.

### Who are the rest of the dead?
[20:5]
Some scholars think John wrote about Christians being resurrected. However, they think that at this time, the Christians who were killed for believing in Jesus are resurrected before other Christians and rule with Jesus first.
Other scholars think John wrote about all people being resurrected, except for those who are already alive and ruling with Jesus.

### What is the second death?
[20:6]
In the Bible, death is a type of separation. When someone dies, they are separated from their body. However, some people die a second time. Those who do not believe in Jesus die a second time. This means they will be separated from God forever. They will live forever apart from God in hell.

### When will Satan be released from prison?
[20:7]
Scholars think different things about Satan being released from prison.
1. Some scholars think that Satan will be released from prison after Jesus rules on the earth for 1000 years. There will be peace on the earth for 1000 years. After this time, Satan will be released. He will fight against God. Many people will fight with Satan against God when this happens. John wanted to write that people will still reject God, even without Satan trying to get them to reject God.

### What is the great white throne?
[20:11]
John wrote about a time when God will judge people. This is what he wrote about when he wrote about the great white throne. At this time, God separates some people that will live together with him in heaven forever. Everyone else will live separated from God in hell forever. That is, those who did not believe in Jesus will be in hell forever. God does this when he sits on the great white throne.
**Advice to translators**: A throne is a place where a leader sat when he rule. When he sat on the throne, he made rules for people to follow.

### How are the dead judged?
[20:12]
John wrote about dead people being judged for the things the did. Some scholars think everyone will be judged because of the things they did while they were alive.

### What are death and Hades?
[20:13]
