⁶ Raise the mournful cry! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and destruction from God will come:

¹ Behold days of the Lord are coming, when thy spoils shall be divided in thee. ² I will indeed gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women polluted. And the half of the city shall go forth into captivity. As for the remainder of my people they shall not be utterly cut off. From this city, ³ the Lord indeed will come forth and draw up in array among the nations, as in the day of his array in the day of battle; ⁴ and on that day his feet will stand on the mount of olives over against Jerusalem on the east side and the mount of olives shall be cleft, east and west, a very great chasm. And the half of the mount will lean to the north and the half of it to the south. ⁵ And the valley of my mountains shall be blocked up; and the valley of mountains shall be closed up even to Jasod. It shall be blocked up as it was in the days of the earthquake; in the days of Ozias king of Juda. And when the Lord my God shall come and all the holy ones with him, ⁶ it shall come to pass that on that day there shall not be light; ⁷ there shall be chilness and cold during one day. That will indeed be a memorable day to the Lord. It will neither be day nor night; but towards evening there will be light. ⁸ And on that day living water will flow out of Jerusalem; the one half of it to the eastern sea and the one half of it to the western sea, both in summer and spring it shall be so. ⁹ And the Lord will be king over all the earth. In that day there will be one Lord and his name one, ¹⁰ enclosing for Jerusalem all the land and the desert around, from Gabea to Remmon southward. As for Rama, it shall continue in its place. From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the first gate, on to the gate of the corners and to the tower of Anameel, on to the king's wine presses ¹¹ there shall be dwellers in it and there shall no more be a curse and in the inhabitance of Jerusalem they shall be secure. ¹² And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem; their flesh shall waste away while they stand on their feet; and their eyes shall melt from their sockets, and their tongue shall rot in their mouth. ¹³ And in that day there shall be a great dread of the Lord upon them. And they will lay hold, every one, on the hand of his neighbour and his hand will be grasped in his neighbour's hand. ¹⁴ And Juda will draw up in array in Jerusalem and collect the wealth of all the peoples around; gold and silver and raiment in great abundance. ¹⁵ And the plague of the horses and the mules and the camels and the asses; that of all the cattle in those camps shall be the same as this plague. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass that all who are left of the nations which came against Jerusalem shall come up every year to worship the Lord Almighty and to celebrate the festival of tabernacles. ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall not come up to Jerusalem from all the tribes of this land, to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, even they shall be added to those. ¹⁸ But if the tribe of Egypt go not up nor come; upon them shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the nations which come not up to celebrate the festival of tabernacles. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations which decline to come up to celebrate the festival of tabernacles. ²⁰ In that day there shall be on the bridle of the horse, "Holy to the Lord Almighty." And the kettles in the house of the Lord shall be like the bowls before the altar. ²¹ And every kettle in Jerusalem and in Juda shall be holy to the Lord Almighty. And all that sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there shall no more be a Chananite in the house of the Lord Almighty in that day.

¹² Let all the nations be roused and come up to the valley of Josaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations around. ¹³ Put to the sickles, for the harvest is come; go in and tread for the vat is full. Cause the wine lakes to overflow; for their wicked deeds have been multiplied. ¹⁴ Screams resound in the valley of Judgment! Because the day of the Lord in the valley of Judgment is at hand

²⁵ There will indeed be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth, anguish of desponding nations, while the sea is roaring and the billows thereof;

¹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came to me and talked with me, saying to me, Come let me shew thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth on the many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. ³ And he carried me away in spirit to a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, which had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clad in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls; and she had in her hand a golden cup full of the abominations and impurity of her fornication; ⁵ and on her forehead there was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, the mother of the harlots and the abominations of the earth. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her I expressed my astonishment with great amaze. ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why art thou amazed? I will tell thee the mystery of this woman and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns. ⁸ The beast which thou sawest was and is not and is soon to ascend out of the bottomless gulf and go to destruction; and the inhabitants of the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will wonder when they see the beast, because it was and is not although indeed it is. ⁹ Let the mind which hath wisdom attend. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth ¹⁰ and they are seven kings. Five have fallen, and one is and the other is not yet come; and when he hath come he must continue but a little while; ¹¹ and the beast, which was and is not, is itself the eighth and is of the seven and goeth to destruction; ¹² and the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but are about to take authority as kings one short period of time with the beast. ¹³ These have one mind and will transfer their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war against the lamb, and the lamb will overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they who are with him are called and chosen and faithful. ¹⁵ Then he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest where the harlot sitteth are peoples, and multitudes and nations and tongues: ¹⁶ and with regard to the ten horns which thou sawest on the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked and devour her flesh, and burn her with fire. ¹⁷ For God hath put it into their hearts to execute his sentence and to execute one design and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished. ¹⁸ Now the woman which thou sawest is that great city which hath sovereignty over the kings of the earth.

¹¹ Then I saw the heaven opened and behold a white horse I and he who was mounted on him was called; Faithful And True, and with righteousness he judgeth and maketh war. ¹² His eyes are like a flame of fire; and on his head are many crowns and he hath a name written which no one but himself knoweth; ¹³ and he was clothed with a mantle dipped in blood; and his name is The Word or God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven clad in cotton robes white and clean followed him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth issueth a sharp sword that with it he may smite the nations. And he himself tendeth them with an iron crook; and he himself treadeth the press of the venemous and raging wine of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath on his mantle and on his thigh this name written King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven saying, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; ¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them mounted on them and the flesh of all both freemen and slaves, both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to come to a battle with him who was mounted on the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who did these signs before him by which he led astray them who had received the mark of the beast, and them who worshipped his image. Both these were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; ²¹ and the rest were slain with the sword of him who was mounted on the horse; with that which issueth out of his mouth; and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.

¹⁵ Then the seventh angel sounded and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of the world are become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for the ages of the ages.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent who is called The Devil and Satan who leadeth the whole world astray. He was thrown on the earth and his angels were thrown with him.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to come to a battle with him who was mounted on the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who did these signs before him by which he led astray them who had received the mark of the beast, and them who worshipped his image. Both these were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; ²¹ and the rest were slain with the sword of him who was mounted on the horse; with that which issueth out of his mouth; and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.

¹⁴ And I looked and behold! a white cloud and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man having on his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Put forth thy sickle and reap, for the time for thee to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe:" ¹⁶ and he who was sitting on the cloud put forth his sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple in the heaven and he also had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar, having power over the fire and he cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle saying, Put forth that sharp sickle of thine and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for its grapes are ripe: ¹⁹ and the angel put forth his sickle on the earth and gathered the grapes of the vine of the earth and cast them into the great wine press of the wrath of God; ²⁰ and the wine press was trodden without the city; and blood flowed out of the wine press up to the bridles of the horses for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

⁹ For behold the remediless day of the Lord is coming; a day of wrath and indignation, to make the empire a desolation; and to destroy the sinners out of it.

²¹ For there will then be great affliction, such as hath not happened from the beginning of the world till now: no, nor ever shall be.
