My Note: Bottomless pit 1000 years Ref. Scripture Rev. 20:3
Scripture Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
This is the start of the Millennium, at Christ's return when Satan is to be locked up for 1000 years while we all are taught to know the difference between what is Holy and what is profane with no interference from him/Satan.
Revelation 20:1 ¶And I saw an
angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a
great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that
old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that
he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon
them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned
with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead (those
not saved at Christ's return) lived not again
until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Who are the rest of the dead refereed to in verse 5?
6 Blessed and holy is
he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath
no power, but they shall
be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are
expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters
of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number
of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them
10 And the devil that deceived them was
cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Here at the great white throne is when the rest of us can still make it if we endured until the end.
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,
(those of us who have not yet received eternal
life) 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.
The grace period we are now in, being over, this judgment at the great white throne will be based on works for all of those who were not granted eternal life at Christ's return, (which was the first resurrection) 1000 years prior.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were
in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death.
(which is the death of their soul)
15 And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake
of fire.
Judgment at the great white throne proves deadly for many of this group, but some will still be granted eternal life, based on their works. (this is the second resurrection)
Revelation 21:1 ¶And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
