7 And when the thousand years are
ended, Satan will be loosed from his
prison 8 and will come out to deceive
the nations which are at the four
corners of the earth, that is, Gog and
Magog, to gather them for battle; their
number is like the sand of the sea.
9 And they marched up over the broad
earth and surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city; but fire
came down from heaven and consumed
them, 10 and the devil who
had deceived them was thrown into the
lake of fire and sulphur where the beast
and the false prophet were, and they
will be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.
11 Then I saw a great white
throne and him who sat upon it; from
his presence earth and sky fled away,
and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and
small, standing before the throne, and
books were opened. Also another book
was opened, which is the book of life.
And the dead were judged by what was
written in the books, and by what they had
done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead
in it, Death and Hades gave up the
dead in them, and all were judged by
what they had done. 14 Then Death
and Hades were thrown into the lake
of fire. This is the second death, the
lake of fire; 15 and if any one's name
was not found in the book of
life, he was thrown into the lake of
fire.

12 It was at this time that Sam went to his brother
Dean and confessed he was tempted by the offer Lucifer
had made him. At this time Dean was seized by a terrible
fear; 13 he thought himself unable to defend his brother or
the earth, and he begged before the angel Castiel for assistance.
14 But the angel Castiel said onto the brothers, "There is
nothing to be done, for the time of judgement has arrived."
And the brothers despaired. 14 But Sam said to his brother,
"It was you who taught me of duty, and if it is so
that you and I must be the ones to carry out the
LORD's will, so be it." 15 And Dean though he was despairing
found he could not sway his brother.
16 And so with courage the brothers embraced
and opened their hearts to the angels of the LORD
which had called to them.

20 And after forty years the war had ceased,
and the earth was ravaged, 21 and the LORD's will
was done on earth, and there was peace. The archangel
Lucifer was dead, and the archangel Michael was
freed from his human flesh, and he spoke onto
the remains people of the earth, "I am the LORD
your God from this time onwards." 22 And the people
began to rebuild the earth and to multiply,
and there was joy in the remaining nations, as the people
prepared temples in honor of the Angel King.
23 In this time the angel Castiel was discovered
by Michael to be honoring the bodies of the
vessels of the angels, 24 and to be laying them
into the ground, and to be mourning them.
25 And the Angel King spoke onto Castiel,
and he said, "Castiel, you are the soldier who brought
the vessel out of perdition, and sin, and
you are the shepherd who brought them here."
And Castiel said that he was. 26 And the Angel
King blessed Castiel, and said to him, "For your
loving service on earth, and your devotion
to the angels and to the vessels and to the prophet,
you shall receive honor on earth and in heaven."
27 And he gave to the angel Castiel dominion
over the people of the earth and gave onto
him the task of guarding the humans from sin
and from evil, 28 for he saw that Castiel loved the
people of the earth, and then the Angel King departed,
leaving Castiel to bury and honor the bodies
of the vessels Sam and Dean.
