C. Text Review - Revelation 20: 4-15
Those that will be rewarded at the judgement throne of God will fulfil the following conditions: (Rev. 20:4)

i. They will be persecuted, denied privilege, tortured and killed for the sake of the gospel of Christ and the word of God.

ii. They will absolutely refuse to worship the beast and his image.
iii. Those that refuse to receive his mark either upon their hands or heads.
Those who fulfil these conditions will reign with Christ for a thousand years. Those who fail these conditions will witness the reign of the devil for one thousand years. This reign shall be characterised with 'deception' verse 8a; "violence" verse 8b and his victim shall be cast into the lake of fire along with the devil- verse 14.
Therefore every believer has a crucial decision to make, either to refuse Satan totally and make Heaven or reject Christ and go to hell fire.
