Notes

This segment describes a court hearing where the dead are judged based on their actions. God responds to ongoing rebellion with eternal punishment.

The drama reaches its peak: God's enemies face defeat and punishment in two episodes (Revelation 19:11–21; 20:7–10). Meanwhile, the faithful enjoy a 1,000-year resurrection (Revelation 20:1–6) followed by the final judgment (20:11–15).
