Chapter 20 Footnotes
[1] In Revelation, those fighting against God at Jerusalem will be slain at Christ’s coming. Therefore, the ones herded together cannot include them, but likely includes those who sent them into battle (i.e. the Kings of the earth).
[2] Revelation 9:1ff
[3] 2 Peter 2:4 where the word translated “hell” in the NIV is Tartarus in Greek. Both the Abyss and Tartarus are where fallen angels are held against their time of judgment.
[4] Revelation 12:9
[5] Matthew 4:8-11
[6] Jude 6
[7] 2 Peter 2:4
[8] 1 Corinthians 6:3
[9] e.g. Luke 8:31
[10] Revelation 12:7-9
[11] Matthew 8:28
[12] Presumably the people who constitute the twelve tribes, the people of Israel.
[13] It is possible, though less likely, that the setting up of thrones in Revelation 20:4 (which clearly takes place at the beginning of the Millennium) and the judging in Revelation 22 are an example of a compression of last days timelines. More likely, however, is that the judging in Revelation 20 is temporal and temporary (for the duration of the Millennium and that in Revelation 22 is eternal and perpetual. That would make the latter the “making new” of the former.
In any event, the judgment in Revelation 20 is not of the eternal state of men’s souls.
]14] Revelation 1:5, 1 Corinthians 15:20
[15] We leave aside the resurrections of Matthew 27:52-53. There simply is not enough information given in scripture to say what is going on there.
[16] Luke 14:14, Acts 24:15
[17] Luke 20:35
[18] Ezekiel 38:2. The other verses in Ezekiel are 38:3, 38:14, 38:16, 38:21, 39:1, 39:11, and 39:15.
[19] Matthew 25:31
[20] It should, perhaps, be pointed out that some have seen a third eternal judgment (besides the Last Judgment and the sheep and goats judgment), the Great White Throne judgment. It seem unnecessary to duplicate judgments. All three sort people into their final states and therefore are almost certain to be the same set of events.
[21] Luke 16:20ff
[22] 2 Peter 2:5-9
[23] Isaiah 24:21-22
[24] Revelation 20:6, though their deeds will be judged.
