Revelation 12 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ AND a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. ² And having in her womb, she cried, and was in travail, and was pained to give birth. ³ And I saw another sign in heaven; and behold a great dragon of fire, which had seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.[Polyglot.] ⁴ And his tail drew the third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman when she was about to give birth, that when she had given birth he might devour her son. ⁵ And she gave birth to a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her son was rapt unto Aloha and unto his throne. ⁶ And the woman fled into the desert, where she had a place prepared of Aloha, that there they might nourish her, DAYS A THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY. ⁷ And there was war in heaven. And Mikoel and his angels [came - Polyglot.] to fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels warred. ⁸ And they could not prevail, and their place was found no more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and the Adversary, which seduceth the whole habitable world. And he was cast upon the earth, and his angels with him were cast. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven saying, Now is there salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Meshiha; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before Aloha day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death. ¹² Wherefore let the heavens be glad, and those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the deceiver hath gone down to you, having great indignation, knowing that little time is to him. ¹³ And when the dragon [Polyglot.] saw that he was cast down upon the earth, he pursued the woman which gave birth to the son. ¹⁴ And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she was to be nourished A TIME, AND TIMES, AND THE DIVIDING OF A TIME, from the face of the serpent.[Polyglot.] ¹⁵ And the serpent cast forth from his mouth after the woman waters like a river, as that she might be carried off by the river which he would make. ¹⁶ And the earth succoured the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed the river which the dragon had cast forth from his mouth. ¹⁷ And the dragon raged against the woman, and went to make war with those of the rest of her seed which kept the commandments of Aloha, and had the testimony of Jeshu. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

²⁵ and knew her not until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn; and she called his name Jeshu.

³ But Herodes the king heard, and was troubled, and all Urishlem with him. ⁴ And he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and anxiously inquired of them where the Meshicha should be born. ⁵ But they said, In Beth-lechem of Jehuda; for so it is written in the prophet: ⁶ Also thou, Beth-lechem of Jehuda, wast not the least among the kings of Jehuda; for from thee shall come forth the king who shall be as a shepherd to my people Isroel. ⁷ Then Herodes privately called the Magians, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them: ⁸ and he sent them to Beth-lechem, and said to them, Go and inquire diligently concerning the child; and when you have found him, come, show me, and I also will go and will worship him. ⁹ But they, when they had heard the king, went forth; and, lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, proceeded before them, until it came and stood over against where the child was. ¹⁰ Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy. ¹¹ And they entered the house, and beheld the child with Mariam his mother; and they fell down, and worshipped him. And they opened their treasures, and offered unto him oblations; gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. ¹² And it was shown to them in a dream, that they should not return unto Herodes; so, by another way, they went unto their place. ¹³ AND when they were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream unto Jauseph, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Metsreen, and there be until I tell thee; for it will be that Herodes will seek the child, that he may destroy him. ¹⁴ Then Jauseph arose, took up the child and his mother, and fled by night into Metsreen, ¹⁵ and was there until the death of Herodes. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Metsreen have I called my son. ¹⁶ Then Herodes, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magians, was greatly wroth, and sent (and) killed all the children of Beth-lechem, and all its limits, from two years and under,[a son of two years] according to the time which he had inquired from the Magians.

⁴⁴ You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.

²² But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith [Lit. "By the hand of faith."] of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction:

³¹ What then shall we say of these? If Aloha be for us, who is against us? ³² And if his Son be spared not, but for all of us delivered him up, how will he not with him give us all things? ³³ Who is against the chosen of Aloha? Aloha justifieth. ³⁴ Who condemneth? The Meshiha hath died and arisen, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and prayeth for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Meshiha? Affliction, or sorrow, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thee all the day long are we killed, we are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor authorities, nor powers, nor things subsisting, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of Aloha which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

³ For if we walk in the flesh, yet we war not according to the flesh. ⁴ For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels, ⁵ and demolish reasonings and every lofty thing that is exalted against the knowledge of Aloha, and captivate all thoughts unto the obedience of the Meshiha.

² for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha. ³ But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived 'Hava by his guile, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is toward the Meshiha.

² I knew [Yodano, " knowing."] a man in the Meshiha fourteen years ago,[Men kedom, "from before fourteen years."] - whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth, - who, this one himself, was rapt unto the third [region] of heaven.[The third of heaven.]

¹⁹ MY children, with whom I travail afresh until the Meshiha be formed in you,

³² This mystery is great; but I speak of the Meshiha and of his church.

¹² For your wrestling is not with flesh and blood (only), but with princes, and with powers, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits who are under heaven. ¹³ Wherefore clothe you with all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared in every thing you may stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, with your loins strengthened with the truth, and wear the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and let your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ and with these take to you the shield of faith, that therewith you may be empowered with strength to extinguish all the burning shafts of that evil one; ¹⁷ and put on the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of Aloha. ¹⁸ And with all prayers, and with all supplications, pray at all times in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful in all seasons, praying constantly and invoking on behalf of all the saints;

⁷ And you who are afflicted will he save [Or, make alive.] with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from heaven, with the host [Or, force; chailo, " powerful array."] of his angels,

³ Let no one deceive you by any one of the methods,[Or, schemes.] because unless there shall come first the rebellion,[Mardutho.] and there be revealed the man of sin, the son of perdition;

⁹ For the coming of that (wicked one) is the working of Satana, with all power, and (with) signs and false miracles, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception which is done in them who perish, because they have not received the love of the truth by which they might have been saved. ¹¹ Wherefore Aloha will send them the working of deception, that they will believe the lie,

¹⁴ and Adam was not deceived, but the wife was deceived, and transgressed the commandment.

⁶ Neither shall his discipleship be recent, lest he be lifted up, and fall into the judgment of Satana. ⁷ But it is needful that he have also a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach, and into the net of Satana.

¹³ But wicked men and seducers add to their wickedness, deceiving, and being deceived.

⁷ The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept. ⁸ And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

¹⁰ For it was proper to him by whose hand are all, and on account of whom all are, (and who) would lead many sons to his glory, that the Prince [Or, Head.] of their salvation by sufferings should be perfected.

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana, ¹⁵ and set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude.

³⁷ Because (yet) a little time, and a very little, and He who cometh shall come, and not be slow.

³⁵ And they gave unto women their sons by the resurrection of the dead; and others in torments died, nor hoped to be delivered, that the better resurrection they might have. ³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up, ³⁷ others were stoned, others divided, others died by the edge of the sword, others wandered about clothed with skins of sheep and of goats, necessitous, afflicted, and driven out. ³⁸ Men, of whom the world was not worthy, became as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens, and in caverns of the earth.

⁸ Watch, and be mindful, because your adversary Satana, as a lion, roareth and walketh and seeketh whom he may devour.

⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain;

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children,[Teloyee.] because you have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who (hath been) from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of Aloha remaineth in you, and you have overcome the wicked.

⁸ And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana. ⁹ Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born. ¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

⁴ But you of Aloha are the children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is with you, than he who is in the world.

² And by this we know that we love the children of Aloha, when we love Aloha, and work his commandments.

⁵ For who (is he) that overcometh the world, but he who believeth that Jeshu is the Son of Aloha?

¹⁰ Whosoever believeth in the Son of Aloha hath this testimony in himself. Every one who believeth not Aloha hath made him a liar, in not believing the testimony that he hath testified concerning his Son.

¹⁹ We know that we are of Aloha, and the whole world in the Evil is lying.

⁶ And the angels who kept not their primacy, but left their habitation, unto the judgment of the great day in chains unknown, under darkness, he hath kept.

⁹ Yet Mikael, chief of angels, when, with the accuser speaking, he contended on account of the body of Musha, dared not bring against him a reviling judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

² who attested the word of Aloha and the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha, and all which he beheld.

⁹ I, Juhanon your brother, and your fellow-sharer in the affliction, and in the patience, which are in Jeshu Meshiha, was in the island which is called Pathamon, for the word of Aloha and for the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha.

²⁰ (This is) the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and of the seven candlesticks of gold: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.

⁷ He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

⁹ I know thy works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana. ¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life ¹¹ He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. He who overcometh shall not be injured by the second death.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where (is) the throne of Satana; and thou hast held my name, and not denied my faith in those days when my witness was exposed,* my faithful one, who was killed with you where dwelleth Satana. [* Or, became a spectacle. But, instead of ETHCHAZAITH, spectaculum factus est, the Polyglots read ETHCHARITH AM; "Thou wast in conflict along with my witness, my faithful one."]

¹⁷ He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone,* and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth. [* Chushbono, rationale. Query, a breastplate?]

²⁴ But to you I say, to those of the rest who are in Thiatiros, all them who have not this doctrine, the men who know not the depths [Amïkthö.] Of Satana, as they speak; I will not throw upon you another burden;

²⁶ And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power [Shultono.] over the peoples,

²⁶ And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power [Shultono.] over the peoples, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;

⁵ He who overcometh shall be clothed in white vestments, and I will not blot their [Shemo dilhun.] name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁹ Behold, I will give [to those] of the synagogue of Satana, who say that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.

¹² Him who overcometh I will make a column in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and of Urishlem the new, which descendeth from heaven from my God, and my new name.

²¹ And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.

⁹ And when he had opened the FIFTH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them who had been killed for the word of Aloha, and for the testimony of the Lamb, which had been theirs.

¹⁰ and, crying with a great voice, said, Salvation to our God! To him who sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb!

¹⁰ and, crying with a great voice, said, Salvation to our God! To him who sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb! ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne, and the presbyters, and the four living-ones; and they fell before his throne upon their faces, and worshipped Aloha, ¹² saying, Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and might, and power, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen. ¹³ And one of the presbyters answered and said to me: These, who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and from whence do they come? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who have come from great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁷ And the First sounded. And there was hail, and fire mingled with the waters, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third of the earth burned, and the third of the trees burned, and every green herb burned.

¹³ And I beheld, and heard an eagle,* flying in the midst, having a tail of blood,** saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, to those who dwell upon earth, from the voice of the rest of the trumpets of the three angels which are about to sound![* An eagle. This is considered a good reading, and has been given by Griesbach in his Greek text. ** Here the Syrian translator was at fault. His Greek copy, without separating the words, read, "in the midst of heaven;" which he appears to have decomposed thus: ("the midst") + ("a tail") + ("blood,") so as to produce the singular expression given above.]

¹ AND the Fifth angel sounded. And I saw a star which fell from heaven unto the earth and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

¹⁰ And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and in their tails they have power to hurt men five months.

¹² One woe hath gone. Behold, two woes yet come after it.

¹⁹ For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents which had heads, and with them they wound. ²⁰ And the rest of men who were not killed by those plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons and idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear;

⁶ and sware by Him who liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and those who are in it, and the earth and those that are in it, and the sea and those that are in it, That time no more shall be;

² and the court which is without the temple cast out,[Aphek men lebar.] and do not measure it, because it is given to the Gentiles, and the holy city shall be trodden down, MONTHS FORTY AND TWO. ³ And I will give my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy, DAYS A THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY, clothed in sackcloth.

⁷ And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast of prey, which ascended from the abyss, will make war against them, and overcome them, [and kill them, Ibid.]

¹⁰ And they who dwell upon earth will rejoice over them and be gratified, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented them who dwell upon earth.

¹² And they heard ["I heard." - POLYGLOTS.] a great voice from heaven, saying to them, Ascend hither. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their adversaries beheld them.

¹⁴ That second woe hath passed. Behold, the third woe cometh quickly. ¹⁵ And the Seventh angel sounded. And there were voices and thunders, saying, The kingdom of the world is of our Lord, and of his Meshiha; and he will reign for ever and ever!

¹⁹ And the temple of Aloha was opened in heaven; and there was seen the ark of his covenant in his temple. And there were lightnings, and thunderings, and voices, and movement, and great hail.

And the dragon stood before the woman when she was about to give birth, that when she had given birth he might devour her son. ⁵ And she gave birth to a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her son was rapt unto Aloha and unto his throne. ⁶ And the woman fled into the desert, where she had a place prepared of Aloha, that there they might nourish her, DAYS A THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY. ⁷ And there was war in heaven. And Mikoel and his angels [came - Polyglot.] to fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels warred.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and the Adversary, which seduceth the whole habitable world. And he was cast upon the earth, and his angels with him were cast.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death. ¹² Wherefore let the heavens be glad, and those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the deceiver hath gone down to you, having great indignation, knowing that little time is to him.

¹⁴ And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she was to be nourished A TIME, AND TIMES, AND THE DIVIDING OF A TIME, from the face of the serpent.[Polyglot.]

¹⁴ And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she was to be nourished A TIME, AND TIMES, AND THE DIVIDING OF A TIME, from the face of the serpent.[Polyglot.] ¹⁵ And the serpent cast forth from his mouth after the woman waters like a river, as that she might be carried off by the river which he would make.

¹⁷ And the dragon raged against the woman, and went to make war with those of the rest of her seed which kept the commandments of Aloha, and had the testimony of Jeshu. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

¹⁷ And the dragon raged against the woman, and went to make war with those of the rest of her seed which kept the commandments of Aloha, and had the testimony of Jeshu. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

⁵ And there was given him a mouth speaking great sayings and blasphemies, and authority was given him to act, MONTHS, FORTY AND TWO.

⁷ And there was given to him authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation; and there was given to him to make war with the saints, to overcome them.

¹⁴ And he will seduce those who dwell upon earth to the making an image of the beast of prey who had the wound of the sword and lived.

¹ AND I saw, and, behold, the Lamb stood upon the mountain of Sion, and with him the number, an hundred and forty and four thousand, who had his name, and the name of his Father, written upon their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of great thunder; and the voice which I heard was as harpers striking on their harps. ³ And they hymned a new hymn before the throne, and before the four living-ones, and the presbyters. And no man was able to learn the hymn, but the hundred and forty and four thousand [who were redeemed from the earth, Ibid.]. ⁴ These are they who with women have not been defiled, for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These by Jeshu were redeemed from men, first-fruits unto Aloha and to the Lamb.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of Aloha, and the faith of Jeshu.

¹ AND I saw another sign in heaven, great and wondrous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the wrath of Aloha. ² And I saw as a sea of brightness commingled with fire; and them who had won-the-victory from the beast of prey, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of brightness, having the harps of Aloha. ³ And they sang the song of Musha the servant of Aloha, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wondrous are thy works, Lord God Omnipotent; just and true are thy ways, king of ages!

¹³ And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, working signs; they go to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of Aloha the Omnipotent.

³ And he led me into the desert, in the spirit; and I saw a woman sitting on a beast of prey which was red,[Sumoqo.] full of names of blasphemy, (and) having seven heads and ten horns.

³ And he led me into the desert, in the spirit; and I saw a woman sitting on a beast of prey which was red,[Sumoqo.] full of names of blasphemy, (and) having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,[Zachurith.] and golden with gold [Madhabo b'dhabo.] and precious stones and pearls; having a cup of gold in her hand, full of pollutions and uncleanness of her fornications [by which she hath polluted] the earth.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jeshu; and I wondered, when I saw, with great wonder. ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why wonderest thou? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey which beareth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁹ Here is the mind of him who hath wisdom: The seven heads are seven hills where the woman sitteth upon them. ¹⁰ And the kings are seven; five have fallen, one is, the other not yet hath come: and when he hath come, a little while it behoveth him to abide.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, the men who kingdom not yet have received; but authority as kings one hour receive with the beast of prey.

¹⁴ They with the Lamb will make war, and the Lamb will overcome them; for he is the Lord of lords, and the King of kings, and they who are with him (are) the called and the chosen and the faithful. ¹⁵ And he said to me, The waters which thou sawest where the harlot is sitting, are peoples, and assemblages, and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast of prey, will hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked; and her flesh they will eat, and herself burn with fire.

¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest is the great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.

² And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen hath Babel the Great, and hath become a den of demons, and the keep of every unclean spirit, and the keep of every unclean and abominable bird, and the keep of every unclean and abominable beast of prey.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, heaven, and the angels and apostles and prophets, because Aloha hath judged your judgment upon her.

²³ And the light of a lamp shall be seen in thee no more. And the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard in thee no more. For thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery were all nations seduced.

¹ AFTER these I heard a great voice of a multitudinous host in heaven, saying, Halleluia! Salvation, and power, and glory, and honour, be unto our God. ² For true and righteous are his judgments; because he hath judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. ³ And the second time they said, Halleluia! And her smoke went up for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four-and-twenty presbyters fell, and the four living-ones, and worshipped Aloha who sitteth upon the throne, saying, Amen, Halleluia! ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his servants, and they who fear him, small and great. ⁶ And I heard as the voice of a great host, as the voice of many waters, as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Halleluia, for the Lord our God the Omnipotent reigneth! ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give glory unto him; because the marriage feast of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath made herself ready.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship; and he said to me, See (that thou do it) not; thy fellowservant (am I), and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jeshu. Aloha worship; for the testimony of Jeshu is the spirit of prophecy. ¹¹ And I saw heaven opened. And behold a white horse, and he who sat upon him was called the Faithful and the True; and in righteousness he judgeth and maketh war. ¹² But his eyes were as the flame of fire, and upon his head were many diadems, having names [-] written; and the name [-] which was written of him no man knoweth but himself.

¹² But his eyes were as the flame of fire, and upon his head were many diadems, having names [-] written; and the name [-] which was written of him no man knoweth but himself. ¹³ And he was arrayed in a vestment sprinkled with blood,[-] and his name was called The Word of Aloha. ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in garments of fine linen, pure (and) white. ¹⁵ And from his mouth went forth a sharp sword of two edges, that therewith he might smite the nations. And he will rule the nations with a rod of iron, and he will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Aloha the Omnipotent.

¹⁵ And from his mouth went forth a sharp sword of two edges, that therewith he might smite the nations. And he will rule the nations with a rod of iron, and he will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Aloha the Omnipotent. ¹⁶ And he had upon his vestment and upon his thigh the name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords. ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun. And he cried with a great voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, gather to the great supper of Aloha; ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chiefs of thousands, and the flesh of heroes, and the flesh of horses and them who sit upon them, and the flesh of all the sons of liberty and of the slaves, and of the small and of the great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast of prey, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with him who sat on the throne, and with his armies.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast of prey, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with him who sat on the throne, and with his armies. ²⁰ And the beast of prey was taken, and the false prophet with him who wrought signs before him, with which he deluded them who received the signature of the beast of prey, and them who worshipped his image; and living they were both cast into the lake of fire which burneth with sulphur.

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the deceiver, and Satana, who seduced all the habitable world, and bound him a thousand years;

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the deceiver, and Satana, who seduced all the habitable world, and bound him a thousand years; ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut and sealed over him, that he should no more seduce the nations, until the thousand years be completed: but after them he will be loosed a little time. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and to the souls of them who had been cut asunder for the sake of the testimony of Jeshu, and for the word of Aloha, and them who had not worshipped the beast of prey nor his image, nor received his signature upon their forehead and upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with their Meshiha the thousand years.

⁸ and will go forth and seduce the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gug and Mogug, to gather them to war, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea.

⁸ and will go forth and seduce the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gug and Mogug, to gather them to war, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea. ⁹ And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; and fire descended from Aloha from heaven, and devoured them. ¹⁰ And the accuser who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and of sulphur, as was also the beast of prey and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of Aloha illuminateth it, and the light thereof is the Lamb.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have authority to the tree of life, and by the gates may enter into the city.
