“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.” Kabilang sa mga natatanging salita sa linyang ito ang angel, bottomless, chain. Masusuri ang gawain nito sa sipi sa ugnayan nito sa mga talata 2.
“And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no…” Hindi mauunawaan ang utos sa pandiwa lamang. Ang tumatanggap, layunin, at lugar nito sa mas malaking tipan o pangangatwiran ang nagtatakda ng pananagutan.
“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.” Ginagawang kongkreto ng bilang na thousand ang ulat. Bago tukuyin ang bigat nito, pansinin kung sinusukat nito ang oras, tao, layo, pag-uulit, o kabuuan.
“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,” Hindi mauunawaan ang utos sa pandiwa lamang. Ang tumatanggap, layunin, at lugar nito sa mas malaking tipan o pangangatwiran ang nagtatakda ng pananagutan.
Pahayag 20:1-8
Bersiyong King James1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3And 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.
4And 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.
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6Blessed 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.
7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8And 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.

“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and…” Pinapangalanan ng talata ang God sa halip na iwanang walang pinagmulan ang kilos. Pansinin kung ipinagpapatuloy, sinasagot, o inihahambing ito ng susunod na linya.

Pahayag 20:9-15
Bersiyong King James9And 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.
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And 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.
13And 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.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Unahin ang teksto
Kung saan nagkakaiba ang mga mambabasa
Nagsisimula ang buod sa sinasabi ng sipi at sa ugnayan ng mga bahagi nito. Hindi nito ipinapalagay na nalutas na ng isang denominasyon ang lahat ng tanong. Malinaw na tinutukoy kung ang konklusyon ay nakasalalay sa tradisyon, teoryang pampanitikan, o rekonstruksiyong pangkasaysayan.
Unang inihaharap ang tekstong KJV. Nilalagyan ng malinaw na pangalan ang mga interpretasyon, at ipinapakita lamang ang mga pagkakaiba kapag nakatutulong ang mga ito upang maunawaan kung bakit hindi palaging iisa ang sagot ng mga seryosong komunidad.
Inihahanda pa ang paghahambing ng mga interpretasyon para sa kabanatang ito. Habang wala pa ang mga nasuring tala, malinaw na pinaghihiwalay ng pahinang ito ang teksto ng KJV, buod, at aplikasyon nang hindi sinasabing nagkakasundo ang lahat ng responsableng mambabasa sa bawat tanong.
