¹ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters. ² Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven broke forth upon the great sea. ³ And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another. ⁴ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. ⁵ And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: Arise, devour much flesh. ⁶ After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. ⁷ After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, fearful and powerful, and exceedingly strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. ⁸ I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots.

Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened. ¹¹ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke.

Thou shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will. ³³ The same hour the thing was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen. And his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

And they took his glory from him, ²¹ and he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will. ²² And thou his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled thy heart, though thou knew all this, ²³ but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them.

And thou shall be for booty to them? ⁸ Because thou have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell therein. ⁹ Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! ¹⁰ Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.

How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! ²⁴ I have laid a snare for thee, and thou are also taken, O Babylon, and thou were not aware. Thou are found, and also caught, because thou have striven against LORD. ²⁵ LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation, for the Lord, LORD of hosts, has a work in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Come against her from the utmost border. Open her store-houses. Cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left. ²⁷ Kill all her bullocks. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation. ²⁸ The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. ²⁹ Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her round about; let none thereof escape. Recompense her according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her. For she has been proud against LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

³ Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. ⁴ I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any that could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

² And now I will show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all. And when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

⁵ And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. ⁶ And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. ⁷ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. ⁸ And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.

²⁰ The ram which thou saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. ²¹ And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. ²² And as for that which was broken, in the place of which four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

²⁰ Then he said, Do thou know why I have come to thee? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I go forth, lo, the ruler of Greece shall come.

³ And a mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. ⁴ And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these. ⁵ And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his rulers. And he shall be powerful over him, and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion. ⁶ And at the end of years they shall join themselves together. And the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she shall not retain the strength of her arm, nor shall he stand, nor his arm. But she shall be given up, and also those who brought her, and he who begot her, and he who strengthened her in those times. ⁷ But out of a shoot from her roots shall a man stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. ⁸ And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, he shall carry captive into Egypt, and he shall refrain from the king of the north some years. ⁹ And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land. ¹⁰ And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through. And they shall return and war, even to his fortress. ¹¹ And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north. And he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. ¹² And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted. And he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. ¹³ And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance. ¹⁴ And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south. Also the sons of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they shall fall. ¹⁵ So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, nor his chosen people. Neither shall there be any strength to stand. ¹⁶ But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction. ¹⁷ And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions, and he shall perform them. And he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her, but she shall not stand, nor be for him. ¹⁸ After this he shall turn his face to the isles, and shall take many. But a ruler shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him. ¹⁹ Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found. ²⁰ Then someone shall stand up in his place who shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom, but within a few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

⁷ Therefore I am to them as a lion. As a leopard I will watch by the way.

² And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard. And its feet were like a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.

⁴³ Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

⁴⁰ And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush. ⁴¹ And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom. But there shall be of the strength of the iron in it, inasmuch as thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay. ⁴² And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

² Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven broke forth upon the great sea.

¹⁹ Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all of them, exceedingly fearful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass, which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet, ²⁰ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was greater than its fellows.

²³ Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. ²⁴ And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise. And another shall arise after them, and he shall be different from the former. And he shall put down three kings.

¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.

³ And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.

⁷ And the agent said to me, Why did thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

¹² And the ten horns that thou saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.

³ Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

³ LORD will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things,

²⁰ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was greater than its fellows. ²¹ I beheld, and the same horn made war with the sanctified, and prevailed against them ²² until the ancient of days came. And judgment was given to the sanctified of the Most High, and the time came that the sanctified possessed the kingdom. ²³ Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. ²⁴ And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise. And another shall arise after them, and he shall be different from the former. And he shall put down three kings. ²⁵ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the sanctified of the Most High. And he shall think to change the times and the law, and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

⁹ And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land. ¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them. ¹¹ Yea, it magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host. And it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. ¹² And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

²³ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding hidden things, shall stand up. ²⁴ And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy amazingly, and shall prosper and do his pleasure. And he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. ²⁵ And through his policy he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand.

³⁶ And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done.

⁴ who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

² For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, impious,

¹⁸ For, uttering swollen things of vanity, they entice (to sensuality by lusts of flesh) those who actually escaped from those who live in error,

¹⁶ These are grumblers, fault-finders, going according to their lusts, and their mouth speaks overblown things, marveling personages for the sake of advantage.

⁷ And the likeness of the locusts was similar to horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were like golden crowns, and their faces were as men's faces.

⁵ And a mouth was given to it speaking great things and blasphemy. And authority was given it to make war forty-two months. ⁶ And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, those who dwell in heaven.

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. ¹² And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and those who dwell in it so that they would worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ And it does great signs, so that even fire would come down out of the sky upon the earth in the sight of men.

⁸ All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations. ²⁵ Of old thou laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

² who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, ³ who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind, ⁴ who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹³ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It went up and down among the living creatures, and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. ¹⁴ And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. ¹⁵ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel was upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it. ¹⁶ The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. And those four had one likeness, and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel. ¹⁷ When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn when they went. ¹⁸ As for their rims, they were high and fearful. And those four had their rims full of eyes round about. ¹⁹ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. ²⁰ Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there the spirit was to go. And the wheels were lifted up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. ²¹ When those went, these went, and when those stood, these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

² And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. ³ Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court. ⁴ And the glory of LORD mounted up from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of LORD's glory. ⁵ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks. ⁶ And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel. ⁷ And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

³⁴ Thou looked until a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. ³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, was broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. ⁴⁵ Inasmuch as thou saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

²² until the ancient of days came. And judgment was given to the sanctified of the Most High, and the time came that the sanctified possessed the kingdom.

² But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

¹² Are not thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, thou have ordained him for judgment, and thou, O Rock, have established him for correction.

² And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

³ and his garments became glistening, exceedingly white, as snow, such as no fuller on earth is able to whiten.

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne.

³³ Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.

²⁴ Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolish all rule, and all authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet.

⁹ and be found in him, not having my righteousness, that from law, but that through Christ's faith-the righteousness from God based on faith-

⁷ and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power ⁸ in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in irreproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom is honor and eternal dominion. Truly.

⁷ But now the heavens and the earth, which have been stored up by the same word, are being preserved for fire in a day of judgment and destruction of irreverent men. ⁸ But beloved, let not this one thing be ignored by you, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slack about his promise, as some regard slackness, but is patient toward us, not wanting any to perish, but all to go forward to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire.

⁵ And this is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

¹⁴ And his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire,

¹⁸ so that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all men, both freemen and bondmen, and both small and great.

² And he said, LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from mount Paran, and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

¹⁹ And Micaiah said, Therefore hear thou the word of LORD. I saw LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

³ Our God comes, and does not keep silence. A fire devours before him, and it is very tempestuous round about him.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. ¹² Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the wood shall sing for joy ¹³ before LORD, for he comes. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

² Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. ³ A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.

²⁷ Behold, the name of LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,

³³ For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of LORD kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.

¹⁵ For, behold, LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind, to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire. ¹⁶ For by fire LORD will execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh, and the slain of LORD shall be many.

²⁶ But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.

⁵ The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is up heaved at his presence. Yea, the world, and all who dwell therein. ⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

⁵ And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And LORD my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

¹⁶ Then those who feared LORD spoke one with another, and LORD hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who feared LORD, and who thought upon his name. ¹⁷ And they shall be mine, says LORD of hosts, my own possession, in the day that I make. And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. ¹⁸ Then ye shall return and discern between the righteous man and the wicked man, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy agents with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

²² But ye have come to mount Zion, and to the city of a living God, a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of agents,

¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,

¹¹ And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any man was found not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

⁸ I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

²⁵ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the sanctified of the Most High. And he shall think to change the times and the law, and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time. ²⁶ But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.

²⁵ And through his policy he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand.

⁴⁵ And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

⁸ And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

⁸ Because of this her plagues will come in one day, death, and grief, and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, because strong is the Lord, the God who judged her.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them and the souls of those who were beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they lived, and reigned with the Christ the thousand years.

¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

⁴ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. ⁵ And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: Arise, devour much flesh. ⁶ After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

⁷ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

⁴ what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him? ⁵ For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁵ God has gone up with a shout, LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary. ¹⁸ Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that LORD God might dwell with them.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

¹⁹ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation. For I will suddenly make them run away from it. And he who is chosen, him I will appoint over it. For who is like me, and who will appoint a time for me, and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

²⁶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

⁹ I beheld till thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and the wheels of it burning fire.

⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,

³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will beat the breast, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and much glory.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky.

²⁶ And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory.

⁶¹ But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest demanded him, and says to him, Are thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.

²⁷ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.

³⁶ Watch ye therefore, making supplication at all times, so that ye may be considered worthy to escape all these things going to happen, and to stand before the Son of man.

¹³ And no man has ascended into heaven, except he who came down out of heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.

²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.

³⁴ The multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ remains into the age. And how can thou say, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

⁵⁶ And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Christ, having raised him from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly things, ²¹ far above every principle office, and position of authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is coming.

⁶ who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God something to seize and hold. ⁷ But he emptied himself, having taken a form of a bondman, having become in a likeness of men. ⁸ And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross.

¹⁴ Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.

²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.

¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

¹⁸ and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁶ Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of straightness is the scepter of thy kingdom.

¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

¹⁷ His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed.

²² when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve LORD.

¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

¹⁰ LORD will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye LORD.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish. Yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, was broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

⁴ Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

³ How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.

¹⁸ But the sanctified of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the sanctified of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

²¹ And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be LORD's.

⁷ And I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation. And LORD will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even forever.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

¹⁸ And Jesus having come, he spoke to them, saying, All authority in heaven and on earth was given to me.

³³ And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end.

²² And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he spoke, adding on a parable because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. ¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

²² For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.

²⁴ Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolish all rule, and all authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy abolished is death. ²⁷ For he subordinated all things under his feet. But when he says that all things have been subordinated, it is clear that he who subordinated all things under him, is excepted. ²⁸ And when all things are made subordinate to him, then the Son himself will also be made subordinate to him who subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Christ, having raised him from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly things, ²¹ far above every principle office, and position of authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is coming. ²² And he subordinated all things under his feet, and appointed him head over all things for the church,

⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of the heavenly, and the earthly, and the sub-earthly, ¹¹ and that every tongue should acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

²⁸ Therefore, receiving an immovable kingdom, we may have grace, through which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and awe.

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.

²¹ He who overcomes, I will give him to sit with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

¹⁵ And the seventh agent sounded, and great voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign into the ages of the ages.

¹⁴ These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those with him are the called and chosen and faithful.

⁷ And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Why do ye look so sad today? ⁸ And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, I pray you.

⁸ And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no man who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

¹⁷ I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor did I rejoice. I sat alone because of thy hand, for thou have filled me with indignation. ¹⁸ Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will thou indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?

¹⁶ As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee, nor have I desired the woeful day. Thou know. That which came out of my lips was before thy face.

³ And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine adversaries.

¹ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.

²⁸ Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me much, and my countenance was changed in me, but I kept the matter in my heart.

²⁷ And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days. Then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.

¹⁶ I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

⁴¹ And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it, ⁴² saying, If thou knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden from thine eyes. ⁴³ Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose thee on every side. ⁴⁴ And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.

² that great distress is in me, and unceasing sorrow in my heart. ³ For I wished I myself to be accursed from the Christ, for my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,

¹⁴ Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me.

⁹ And I went to the agent, telling him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it. And it will make thy belly bitter, but it will be sweet as honey in thy mouth. ¹⁰ And I took the book out of the agent's hand, and ate it. And it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. ¹¹ And he says to me, Thou must prophesy again against many peoples, and against nations and tongues and kings.

¹⁰ A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened.

¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? ¹⁴ And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and, behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man. ¹⁶ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

²² And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding.

⁵ I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. ⁶ Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright, for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling. ¹² Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, another two stood, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

⁸ I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom. And behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white. ⁹ Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the agent who talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these are. ¹⁰ And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth. ¹¹ And they answered the agent of LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.

³ And, behold, the agent who talked with me went forth. And another agent went out to meet him,

⁷ Thus says LORD of hosts: If thou will walk in my ways, and if thou will keep my charge, then thou also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these who stand by.

⁵ And one of the elders says to me, Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and the seven seals of it.

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and where did they come from? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁴ from men by thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly thou fill with thy treasure. They are satisfied with sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

³ And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another. ⁴ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

¹⁹ And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my subordinates would have fought so that I would not be delivered to the Jews, but now my kingdom is not from here.

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.

¹⁶ Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shall make rulers in all the earth.

⁵ Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds. ⁶ The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand ⁷ to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, ⁸ to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, ⁹ to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD.

¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish. Yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. ¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to thee, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary. And I will make the place of my feet glorious. ¹⁴ And the sons of those who afflicted thee shall come bending to thee. And all those who despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee The city of LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly things in Christ.

¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things.

¹¹ Faithful is the saying, For if we die together, we will also live together. ¹² If we endure, we will also reign together. If we renounce him, that man will also renounce us.

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. ²⁷ And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father.

¹⁰ And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth.

⁴⁰ And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush. ⁴¹ And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom. But there shall be of the strength of the iron in it, inasmuch as thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay. ⁴² And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. ⁴³ And whereas thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cling one to another, even as iron does not mix with clay.

¹¹ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.

²³ Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

⁹ And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land. ¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them. ¹¹ Yea, it magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host. And it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

³⁶ And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done. ³⁷ Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all.

¹² And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

²⁴ And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy amazingly, and shall prosper and do his pleasure. And he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

³¹ And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them, and he will overcome them and kill them. ⁸ And their corpses are in the thoroughfare of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹ And out of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations they see their corpses three and a half days. And they will not allow their corpses to be put in a sepulcher.

³ And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. ⁴ And his tail drags the third part of the stars of the sky, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was going to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

⁵ And a mouth was given to it speaking great things and blasphemy. And authority was given it to make war forty-two months. ⁶ And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, those who dwell in heaven. ⁷ And it was given it to make war with the sanctified, and to overcome them. And authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to it. ⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any man has an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified. ¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. ¹² And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and those who dwell in it so that they would worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ And it does great signs, so that even fire would come down out of the sky upon the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And it leads my kind astray (those dwelling on the earth) because of the signs that were given it to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast that had the sword-wound and lived. ¹⁵ And it was given it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak, and would make as many as would not ever worship the image of the beast be killed. ¹⁶ And it makes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the bondmen, that they would give them marks on their right hand, or on their foreheads. ¹⁷ And so that not any man can buy or sell unless having the mark-the name of the beast or the number of its name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom: He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number of a man. And its number is 666.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the sanctified, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I wondered with great amazement.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him who sits upon the horse, and against his army.

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

⁹ I beheld till thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and the wheels of it burning fire. ¹⁰ A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened. ¹¹ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹ And I appoint to you, just as my Father appointed to me a kingdom, ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

² Or know ye not that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of very small legal disputes? ³ Know ye not that we will judge agents? Then why not mundane things?

⁶ and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly.

¹¹ And after the three and a half days a spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those who watched them. ¹² And I heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they ascended up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. ¹³ And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven. ¹⁴ The second woe departed. Behold, the third woe comes quickly. ¹⁵ And the seventh agent sounded, and great voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign into the ages of the ages. ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders who sit before the throne of God, on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned. ¹⁸ And the nations were angry. And thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy bondmen the prophets, and to the sanctified, and to those who fear thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.

⁸ And another, a second agent, followed, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen. She has given all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. ⁹ And another agent, a third, followed them, saying in a great voice, If any man worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he also himself will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which was mixed undiluted in the cup of his anger. And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy agents and before the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages. And they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and its image, and if any man receives the mark of its name. ¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils, and their works follow with them. ¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sits on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another agent came out from the temple in heaven, also himself having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another agent came out from the altar having power over the fire. And he cried out in a great shout to him who has the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes are fully ripe. ¹⁹ And the agent sent his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out from the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹¹ And I saw the heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he who sits upon it called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. ¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems having names written, and a name written that none knows except he himself, ¹³ and clothed in a garment dipped in blood. And his name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, pure white. ¹⁵ And a sharp two-edged sword comes out of his mouth, so that he would smite the nations by it. And he will tend them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of the Almighty God. ¹⁶ And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. ¹⁷ And I saw one agent having stood in the sun, and he cried out in a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come, gather together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ so that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all men, both freemen and bondmen, and both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him who sits upon the horse, and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the others were killed by the sword that comes forth out of his mouth (of him who sits upon the horse), and all the birds were filled from their flesh.

⁹ And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the encampment of the sanctified and the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them. ¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages.

⁴⁰ And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush.

¹ Now it came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to enroll all the world.

²⁰ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was greater than its fellows.

³ Let not any man deceive you in any way, because if not, the defection may come first, and he may be revealed-the man of sin, the son of destruction, ⁴ who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God. ⁵ Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you I told you these things? ⁶ And now ye know that which restrains, for him to be revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he who restrains it until now will develop from the midst. ⁸ And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming. ⁹ Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and marvels of deceit, ¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

¹ But the Spirit says expressly that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, ² speaking lies in hypocrisy, their own conscience having been seared with a hot iron, ³ forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thankfulness by those who believe and know the truth.

³ And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

¹² And the ten horns that thou saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. ¹³ These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

¹⁶ And the ten horns that thou saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her with fire. ¹⁷ For God gave in their hearts to do his will. Even to do one will, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God would be ended. ¹⁸ And the woman whom thou saw is the great city having reign over the kings of the earth.

²³ Whom have thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom have thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

²¹ And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

²⁵ That thou shall be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And thou shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of heaven. And seven times shall pass over thee till thou know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

³² And thou shall be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. Thou shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

²⁸ Then he shall return into his land with great substance. And his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.

³⁰ For ships of Kittim shall come against him. Therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure. He shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant. ³¹ And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

³⁶ And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done. ³⁷ Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all. ³⁸ But in his place he shall honor the god of fortresses. And a god whom his fathers did not know, he shall honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

¹¹ And from the time that the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days. ¹² Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out in a great voice, saying, Master, Holy and True, how long do thou not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell on the earth?

² And leave out the court outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations. And they will trample the holy city forty-two months. ³ And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days clothed in sackcloth.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them, and he will overcome them and kill them. ⁸ And their corpses are in the thoroughfare of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹ And out of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations they see their corpses three and a half days. And they will not allow their corpses to be put in a sepulcher. ¹⁰ And those who dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and will celebrate, and will give gifts to each other, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness where she has a place there prepared by God, so that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred sixty days.

¹⁴ And two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place. So that she might be nourished there for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

⁵ And a mouth was given to it speaking great things and blasphemy. And authority was given it to make war forty-two months. ⁶ And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, those who dwell in heaven. ⁷ And it was given it to make war with the sanctified, and to overcome them. And authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to it. ⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any man has an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified. ¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.

¹⁵ And it was given it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak, and would make as many as would not ever worship the image of the beast be killed. ¹⁶ And it makes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the bondmen, that they would give them marks on their right hand, or on their foreheads. ¹⁷ And so that not any man can buy or sell unless having the mark-the name of the beast or the number of its name.

¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

⁶ Because they poured out the blood of the sanctified and prophets, and thou have given them blood to drink; they are deserving.

²⁴ And in her was found blood of prophets, and of the sanctified, and of all who have been killed upon the earth.

¹³ And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. ¹⁰ Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. ¹¹ Serve LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. ¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee.

⁹ All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.

²³ And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet. And thou shall know that I am LORD, and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. ²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? ²⁵ But thus says LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him who contends with thee, and I will save thy sons. ²⁶ And I will feed those who oppress thee with their own flesh. And they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine. And all flesh shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

³ For thou shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

¹¹ Thy gates also shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. ¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish. Yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. ¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to thee, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary. And I will make the place of my feet glorious. ¹⁴ And the sons of those who afflicted thee shall come bending to thee. And all those who despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee The city of LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. ¹⁵ Whereas thou have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. ¹⁶ Thou shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings. And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict thee. And I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away, and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame has been in all the earth. ²⁰ At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you. For I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says LORD.

⁹ And LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day LORD shall be one, and his name one.

¹⁶ And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

⁵ And there will be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp and the light of sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them. And they will reign into the ages of the ages.

¹⁰ And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

⁶ Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.

¹⁹ And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

⁸ So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility, and I retained no strength.

²⁷ And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table. But it shall not prosper, for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

⁹ And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

¹³ But go thou thy way till the end is. For thou shall rest, and shall stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

¹⁵ And straightaway all the multitude, having noticed him, were startled. And running near they greeted him.

¹⁹ But Mary kept all these proclamations, pondering in her heart.

⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was being subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

⁴⁴ Place ye these sayings into your ears, for the Son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men.
