- Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years.
