Revelation 20:1 in Context — Revelation 20

1 E eu vi um anjo descendo do céu, tendo a chave do abismo; e uma grande corrente em sua mão;

2 E ele deteve ao dragão, e à antiga serpente, que é o diabo e Satanás, e o amarrou por mil anos.

3 E o lançou no abismo, e ali o prendeu, e o selou sobre ele; para que não mais enganasse às nações, até que se completem os mil anos; e depois disto é necessário que ele seja solto por um pouco de tempo.
