22 Comprehensive Revelation 20 Quiz Questions and Answers

Answer 1: D: The dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Testimony, mercy, and faith are all important scriptural themes, but verse twelve names none of them as the standard. The books record the works, and works is the word the verse uses twice: in verse twelve and again in verse thirteen.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:12, “the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”

Answer 2: E: The nations gathered are named as Gog and Magog. Meshech, Tubal, and Togarmah all appear in Ezekiel’s oracle concerning Gog, making them plausible confusions for a reader who knows the broader prophetic tradition. The text of Revelation twenty names Gog and Magog alone.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:8, “Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle.”

Answer 3: A: On such the second death hath no power. The second death is the lake of fire, named in verse fourteen. The dragon, beast, death, and nations all feature prominently in this chapter, but none is named in verse six as having no power over those in the first resurrection.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:6, “on such the second death hath no power.”

Answer 4: C: From before his face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. Options A, B, and E name real events from verses twelve and thirteen, not from verse eleven itself. Option D belongs to verse seven, before the throne scene begins.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:11, “from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.”

Answer 5: B: Fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. A sword going out from the mouth of the Lord is imagery from Revelation nineteen, not twenty, and a reader who conflates those two chapters may choose it here. Verse nine names fire alone as the agent of destruction.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:9, “fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”

Answer 6: A: The angel laid hold on the dragon, bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit. Verses two and three give both actions: binding and casting. The other options draw on language from other scriptures that does not appear in these verses.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:2-3, “bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit.”

Answer 7: C: The angel came down having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. A golden censer filled with fire appears in Revelation eight, and vials of wrath throughout chapters fifteen and sixteen; a reader who knows the book’s imagery but has not fixed this verse in memory may reach for either of them.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:1, “having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.”

Answer 8: D: The devil was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are. The bottomless pit in option C is where Satan was confined during the millennium in verse three. Verse ten names the lake of fire and brimstone as his final destination once the millennium ends.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:10, “the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone.”

Answer 9: E: Verse fourteen says that death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, then adds immediately, “This is the second death.” The great white throne is where the judgment is pronounced, not what the second death is called. Verse fourteen gives the definition plainly.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:14, “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”

Answer 10: A: The souls had not received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands. The same verse also says they had not worshipped the beast or his image, making D a close answer for a reader who recalls only part of verse four. The mark, not the worship, is what verse four identifies as what they had not received.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:4, “neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands.”

Answer 11: D: When the thousand years were expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. The judgment, the giving up of the dead, and the receiving of reward all belong to verses eleven through fifteen. Verse seven names only the loosing of Satan as what occurred when the years expired.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:7, “Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.”

Answer 12: B: He was sealed so that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled. The purpose stated is deception prevention, not punishment or rest for the saints, though those things accompany the millennium. Verse three gives this reason in plain terms.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:3, “that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled.”

Answer 13: A: Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Verse fifteen closes the chapter with this single statement. The other options draw on judgment language found elsewhere in scripture, but this chapter gives only one destination for those absent from the book of life.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:15, “whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Answer 14: C: Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The books of record are opened first; the book of life is the additional one named alongside them. A book of remembrance appears in Malachi three, making D a plausible confusion for a reader with wide biblical knowledge, but it is not named in Revelation twenty.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:12, “another book was opened, which is the book of life.”

Answer 15: E: They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Two names are given, not one. A reader who recalls they serve as priests but assigns only a single name gets the answer wrong. Verse six names both: God and Christ.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:6, “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”

Answer 16: C: The sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. Three sources are named: the sea, death, and hell. A reader who fills in locations not named by verse thirteen will find none of them in the text.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:13, “the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.”

Answer 17: D: Verse four says the beheaded saints lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years, and verse five immediately adds, “This is the first resurrection.” Option A describes the general resurrection of all the dead at the throne, which verse five contrasts with the first resurrection by calling the rest “the rest of the dead.” Option C describes that same general resurrection.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:4-5, “they lived and reigned with Christ…This is the first resurrection.”

Answer 18: E: Satan went out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth. The four quarters of the earth is the phrase verse eight uses. The other options introduce groups or locations the verse does not mention, drawing on imagery from elsewhere in Revelation.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:8, “the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth.”

Answer 19: B: The souls were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God. Both reasons are stated in verse four. The law and the commandments appear often in Revelation’s description of the saints, making D a close-sounding answer, but verse four names the witness of Jesus and the word of God as the two reasons for beheading.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:4, “the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God.”

Answer 20: D: They went up on the breadth of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city. Two objects are named: the camp of the saints and the beloved city. A reader who recalls armies surrounding a city but omits the camp gives only half of what verse nine contains.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:9, “compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city.”

Answer 21: A: John saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. The holy city coming down from God is imagery from Revelation twenty-one, and a reader who conflates the two chapters may reach for D. Verse one names an angel as what John saw descending.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:1, “I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit.”

Answer 22: E: The devil shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. A reader who remembers Satan was bound for a thousand years may reach for B, applying the millennium’s duration to the lake of fire. Verse ten uses different language entirely: day and night for ever and ever is the torment of the lake, not the confinement of the pit.
KJV Reference: Revelation 20:10, “shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
