John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:1-15

Satan conquered. The Last JudgmentIn this chapter the visions of the overthrow of Christ’s enemies are continued. The devil is bound for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3); the martyrs reign with Christ for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:4-6). It is foretold that, at the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be loosed, and will make a last assault against the saints, after which he is cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10). A vision of the Last Judgment follows (Revelation 20:11-15).The binding... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 20:14-15

(14, 15) And death and hell were cast . . .—Better, And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. The latter part of the verse contains, according to the best MS. authority, the additional words “the lake of fire.” We then read, not “This is the second death”—as though the reference were to what went before—but, This is the second death, the lake of fire. The last verse then follows, And if any was not found written in the book (or, roll) of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. Thus,... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 20:1-15

The Thousand Years' Reign of Christ Revelation 20:4 I. First we shall show that the literal interpretation of the passage before us is altogether wrong and untenable. (1) The first proof of this is a very obvious one. We are dealing with a symbolic book. From the glorious description of the Saviour in the first chapter to the last picture of the Holy Jerusalem the book is one great series of panoramic displays of symbolic pictures. It is not intended to narrate literal events, whether... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 20:1-15

CHAPTER XVI.JUDGMENT OF SATAN AND OF THE WICKED.Revelation 20:1-15.IN now approaching chap. 20, with its yet unsolved difficulties of interpretation, it is of essential importance to observe, in the first place, the relation of the chapter to what immediately precedes. The Seer is not entering upon an entirely new subject. He distinctly continues, on the contrary, the prosecution of a theme he had before begun. In the previous portion of his book three great enemies of the saints of God had... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:1-15

Satan Bound for 1000 years Though the Beast and the False Prophet have been (inRevelation 19:1-21; Revelation 19:1-21) consigned to the Lake of Fire, the wicked spirit Satan who influenced them is not immediately sent there. Rather an angel (not the Lord) is delegated to take Satan captive and to secure him in the pit of "the abyss" for the specified time of one thousand years (vv. 1-3). A seal is set upon him: there is no possibility of escape. The object of this limited imprisonment is that... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 20:1-15

THE SEVEN DOOMS CONTINUED Continuing the last lesson we begin this with what we have come to recognize as the Parenthesis (Revelation 19:1-10 ), and which in this case is composed simply of four “alleluiahs.” Two are retrospective and refer to the fall of Babylon, and two are prospective, touching on the marriage supper of the lamb and the inauguration of the kingdom. The Lamb’s wife (Revelation 19:7 ) is the bride (Revelation 21:9 ) or the church, identified with the “heavenly Jerusalem”... read more

(11) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on 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, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which... read more
