Revelation 14 Cross References - Etheridge

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. ⁵ And in their mouth falsehood was not found, for they are without spot. ⁶ And I saw another angel flying through heaven, who with blood* had the everlasting gospel to preach to them who dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe, and tongue and people; [* So SCHAFF, DE DIEU, and GUTBIR'S texts: but the Polyglots have not "with blood," a reading which admits of the same explanation as that given page 469.] ⁷ saying with a great voice, Serve Aloha, and give him glory: for the hour of his judgment cometh: and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ⁸ And another angel, a second, followed him, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babel the Great, which of the wine of the rage of her fornication hath made all nations to drink. ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them saying with a great voice, If any man worship the beast of prey and his image, and receive his mark on his brow, or in his hand, ¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Aloha, which is mingled without sparing* in the cup of his anger. And he shall be tormented in fire and sulphur, before his holy angels and before the throne: [* Vide SCHLEUSNER, sub? (No. 2,) which is the word here incorporated into the Syrian text.] ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment for ever and ever will ascend. And they have no rest day and night who worship the beast of prey and his image. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of Aloha, and the faith of Jeshu. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, blessed are the dead who in Aloha die from now. Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works follow with them. ¹⁴ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat (one) like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud. ¹⁶ And he thrust his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came forth from the altar who had authority over the fire, and he cried with a great cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and reap the clusters of the vintage of the earth; for the grapes of the earth are ripe. ¹⁹ And the angel thrust forth his sickle unto the earth, and reaped the vintage of the earth, and he cast into the winepress of the wrath of Aloha the Great. ²⁰ And the winepress was trodden [without the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, Polyglot.] unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand and six hundred stadia.

But he said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go bury my father. ⁶⁰ Jeshu said to him, Leave the dead burying their dead; and thou, go and preach the kingdom of Aloha. ⁶¹ And another said to him, I will come after thee, my Lord, but first permit me to go to salute the sons of my house, and I will come. ⁶² Jeshu saith to him, No man putting his hand upon the coulter of the yoke, and looking behind him, is fit for the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁰ for you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.

²⁵ BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful. ²⁶ And I consider that this is good [counsel], on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be.

¹⁴ who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of those who are saved, and unto the praise of his majesty.

⁹ and to bring to light unto all men what is the dispensation of the mystery which was hidden from the ages in Aloha, who created all: ¹⁰ that through the church might be made known the wisdom of Aloha, which is full of diversities, to the principalities and powers who are in heaven, ¹¹ that which he prepared from of old, and which he hath executed by Jeshu our Lord,

²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless.

²¹ For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me. ²² But if in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose. ²³ For these two straiten me.

¹⁷ But, also, [if I should be] offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all;

²² hath he reconciled now in the body of his flesh and through his death, to constitute you saints before him without spot and without blame; ²³ if you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister.

¹⁶ who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.

¹⁶ For our Lord himself with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief of angels, and with the trumpet of Aloha, will come down from heaven, and the dead who are in the Meshiha will arise first;

¹⁰ who died on our behalf, that, whether we wake or sleep, together with him we may live.

⁶ and whether it is (not) righteous to render afflictions to them who afflict you. 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, ⁸ when he executeth the punishment, with burning of fire, on them who have not known Aloha, and on them who have not acknowledged the gospel of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power;

¹⁶ But our Lord Jeshu Meshiha himself, and Aloha our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation,[Or, the consolation of eternity.] and a good hope through grace,

³ and prohibiting to marry, and abstaining from meats, which Aloha created to be used with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth;

⁷ The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept.

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.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha; ² unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, ³ and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:

⁸ But concerning the Son he hath said, Thy throne, Aloha, (is) for ever and ever, a right [Or, perfect, true.] sceptre (is) the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁹ But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha,[Hu ger Aloho.] in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!

⁹ Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism* is confirmed to the people of Aloha.[* Lemashbothu. Inf. Aphel of shabath, Quievit; celebravit diem sabbathi.] ¹⁰ For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his. ¹¹ Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.

¹⁰ For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister. ¹¹ But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;

²² But ye have come nigh unto the Mount of Ziun, and to the city of Aloha the Living, to the Urishlem which is in heaven, and to the congregation of myriads of angels, ²³ and to the church of the firstborn (ones) who are written in heaven, and to Aloha the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the just who are perfected, ²⁴ and to Jeshu the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkling of his blood, which speaketh better [things] than that of Habel.

¹¹ For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp. ¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.

²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord,

¹⁸ He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom,[Damkahno lemalkutho.] a holy people, a congregation redeemed to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:

¹⁰ Who then willeth life, and loveth good days to see? Let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak not guile.

⁷ BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer.

⁷ As Sadum and Omuro, and the cities which were around them, which in manner of them committed fornication, and went after other flesh, are lying under everlasting fire, condemned unto judgment.

²⁴ But to him who is able to keep you without falling and without spot, and to establish you without blemish,

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day;[Yaumo moronoio.] and I heard behind me a great voice as a trumpet, saying, ¹¹ What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia,[Thus spelt in the Syriac copies.] and at Laodikia.

¹³ And in the midst of the candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold.

¹⁵ and his feet were like refined brass,* which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters. [* Nechosho Lebanonoio. The - of the Greek text.]

¹ To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all,[Achid Kul.] and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.

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?]

⁴ But thou hast a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their vestments; and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

⁸ I know thy works; and, behold, I have given before thee an open door, which no man can shut; because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is to come upon all the habitable world, to try them who dwell upon the earth.

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.

¹ AFTER these I saw, and, behold, a door (was) open in heaven. And the first voice that I had heard as a trumpet talking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will make thee see the (things) which must be after these. ² At once I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne [Kursio, a seat of state.] placed in heaven, and upon the throne (One) sat. ³ And he who sat was like to the appearance of the stone of jaspon, and of sardion; and the bow of the clouds was around the throne, in resemblance to the appearance of zmragda. ⁴ Around the throne [Thronos.] were seats [Kursothee.] twenty and four; and upon those seats twenty and four presbyters [Kashishee.] sitting, who were robed in white vestments, and upon their heads wore coronets [Kalilee.] of gold. ⁵ And from the throne went forth lightnings and the voice of thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire which burned before His throne, which are the seven Spirits of Aloha. ⁶ And before the throne was a sea of brightness* like chrystalos; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, four living-ones,** who were full of eyes before and behind. [* Zagugitho, Heb. Zechuchith; root, zakak, to shine, be transparent. ** Chaivothee, "animated beings; " from chai, "to live."] ⁷ And the first living-one was like the lion, and the second living-one was like the calf, and the third living-one had a face as a man, and the fourth living-one was like the eagle which flieth. ⁸ And these four living-ones, each of them, had six wings round about; and within were full of eyes; and they rest not day and night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who wast, and art, and art to come.

⁸ And these four living-ones, each of them, had six wings round about; and within were full of eyes; and they rest not day and night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who wast, and art, and art to come. ⁹ And when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks* unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever and ever, [* More strictly, (kubol-taibutho,) acceptance of thanks, that is, as by the divine hand.]

⁹ And when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks* unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever and ever, [* More strictly, (kubol-taibutho,) acceptance of thanks, that is, as by the divine hand.]

⁹ And when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks* unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever and ever, [* More strictly, (kubol-taibutho,) acceptance of thanks, that is, as by the divine hand.] ¹⁰ the four and twenty presbyters fell before Him who sitteth upon the throne, and worshipped Him who liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹⁰ the four and twenty presbyters fell before Him who sitteth upon the throne, and worshipped Him who liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God the Holy One, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all, and by thy hand they are, and through thy will they were and are created.

¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God the Holy One, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all, and by thy hand they are, and through thy will they were and are created.

⁵ And one of the presbyters said to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Jihuda, who is the root of David, hath prevailed. He will open the book and the seven seal [Chetomee.] thereof. ⁶ And I saw, in the midst of the presbyters, a Lamb standing, as slain, who had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of Aloha, which are sent forth to all the earth. ⁷ And he came and took the book from the right hand of him who sat upon the throne ⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living-ones and the twenty and four presbyters fell down before the Lamb, having each of them an harp, and vials of gold full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living-ones and the twenty and four presbyters fell down before the Lamb, having each of them an harp, and vials of gold full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹² which said with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, ¹³ and every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all them which are therein. And I heard him who sat upon the throne saying: To the Lamb let there be given blessing, and honour, and glory, and praise, and dominion, for ever and ever.

¹³ and every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all them which are therein. And I heard him who sat upon the throne saying: To the Lamb let there be given blessing, and honour, and glory, and praise, and dominion, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four living-ones said, Amen! And the presbyters fell, and worshipped.

¹ AND I saw, when the Lamb had opened one of the SEVEN SEALS. And I heard one of the four living-ones speaking as the voice of thunder, Come, and see! ² And I looked: and there was a white horse; and he who sat upon him had a bow, and there was given to him a crown; and he went forth conquering, so that he might conquer.

⁸ And I saw a green horse,[Susio Uroko.] and he who sat upon him had the name of Death, and Shiul followed after him. And there was given to him power over the fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the toothed beast of the earth. 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 they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, O Lord, holy (and) true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?

¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, O Lord, holy (and) true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth? ¹¹ And there was given to each of them the white robe; and it was told them, that they should rest yet a little time, until should be completed their fellow-servants, their brethren who would be killed as also they.

³ Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, neither the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads. ⁴ And I heard the number of them who were sealed, an hundred and forty and four thousands, sealed of every tribe of Israel: ⁵ of the tribe of Jihuda, twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Rubill, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; ⁶ of the tribe of Ashir, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Naphtoli, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Manasha, twelve thousand; ⁷ of the tribe of Shemun, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Isokar, twelve thousand; ⁸ of the tribe of Zabolon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Jauseph, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjomin, twelve thousand [were sealed.] ⁹ After these I saw, and, behold, a great assembly, which to number no man was able, from all people and nations and tribes and tongues, were standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and with palms in their hands; 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.

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. ¹⁵ On account of this they are before the throne of Aloha, and minister to him day and night in his temple. And he who sitteth upon the throne will protect them.[Nageen alihun, "shadow over them."] ¹⁶ They will not hunger or thirst again, nor will the sun come down upon them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ for it is the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne who will feed them, and will lead them unto fountains of living waters, and Aloha will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

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.

¹⁰ And the Third angel sounded. And there fell from heaven a star burning as a lamp, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon fountains of waters.

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.]

¹⁷ And as I beheld those horses in the vision, and those who sat upon them, (I saw that) they had breast-plates of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and from their mouths went out fire, and smoke, and sulphur. ¹⁸ And by these three plagues were the third of men killed; from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the sulphur which went out of their mouths.

¹ AND I saw another mighty angel descending from heaven, clothed (with a) cloud, and the bow of the cloud (was) upon his head; and his countenance was as the sun, and his feet as columns of fire.

³ and cried with a great voice, as the roar of a lion. And when he had cried, seven thunders spoke their voices. ⁴ And when those seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven, which said, Seal those (things) which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.

⁴ And when those seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven, which said, Seal those (things) which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.

¹¹ And he said to me, It behoves thee yet to prophesy concerning many nations, and concerning peoples and princes and kings.

⁸ and their dead bodies (will be) upon the wide street of the great city, which is called, spiritually, Sedum, and Metsreen, where also our Lord hath been crucified.

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. ¹³ And in that hour there was a great movement; and one of ten of the city fell; and there were killed in the movement the names of men seven thousand. And they who were left were made afraid, and gave glory to Aloha.

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!

¹⁷ saying, We give thanks to thee, Lord God omnipotent, who art, and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and hast reigned. ¹⁸ And the nations were angry; but thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be avenged; and to give reward to thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to them who fear thy Name, to the small and to the great; and to destroy them who have destroyed the earth. 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.

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.

³ And one of his heads was wounded as to death. And his stroke of death was healed; and all the earth wondered after the beast of prey. ⁴ And they worshipped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast of prey, [saying, Who is like the beast of prey, Polyglots.] and who is able to make war with him? ⁵ And there was given him a mouth speaking great sayings and blasphemies, and authority was given him to act, MONTHS, FORTY AND TWO. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to blaspheme against Aloha, blaspheming his name, and his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 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.

¹⁰ If any man into captivity leadeth, into captivity he shall go. If any man kill with the sword, it behoveth him by the sword to be killed. This is the patience and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ And I saw another beast of prey ascending from the earth; and he had two horns like those of the lamb, and he spake as the dragon. ¹² And all the authority of the first beast of prey he exercised before him; and he made the earth and those who inhabit therein to worship the first beast of prey, whose wound of death was healed.

¹² And all the authority of the first beast of prey he exercised before him; and he made the earth and those who inhabit therein to worship the first beast of prey, whose wound of death was healed. ¹³ And he wrought great signs, as that also he would make fire to come down from heaven upon earth before men. 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. ¹⁵ And it was given to him to give spirit to the image of the beast of prey, [that the image also of the beast of prey should speak, Polyglots.] and to cause that all those whosoever who worshipped not the image of the beast of prey should be killed. ¹⁶ And he caused all, small and great, and rich and poor, and sons of freedom and slaves, to have given to them a signature upon their right hands, or upon their foreheads; ¹⁷ as that no man might be able to buy or sell, unless he had the signature of the name of the beast of prey, or the number of his name.

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.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying through heaven, who with blood* had the everlasting gospel to preach to them who dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe, and tongue and people; [* So SCHAFF, DE DIEU, and GUTBIR'S texts: but the Polyglots have not "with blood," a reading which admits of the same explanation as that given page 469.] ⁷ saying with a great voice, Serve Aloha, and give him glory: for the hour of his judgment cometh: and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ⁸ And another angel, a second, followed him, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babel the Great, which of the wine of the rage of her fornication hath made all nations to drink. ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them saying with a great voice, If any man worship the beast of prey and his image, and receive his mark on his brow, or in his hand,

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment for ever and ever will ascend. And they have no rest day and night who worship the beast of prey and his image.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat (one) like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat (one) like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud.

¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud.

¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud. ¹⁶ And he thrust his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁶ And he thrust his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came forth from the altar who had authority over the fire, and he cried with a great cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and reap the clusters of the vintage of the earth; for the grapes of the earth are ripe. ¹⁹ And the angel thrust forth his sickle unto the earth, and reaped the vintage of the earth, and he cast into the winepress of the wrath of Aloha the Great.

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! ⁴ Who shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art [good, Polyglot.] and holy and just; therefore all nations shall come and worship before thee; because thy judgments are revealed. ⁵ After these I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony which is in heaven was opened.

⁵ After these I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony which is in heaven was opened. ⁶ And the seven angels came forth, having the seven plagues, from the temple, clothed in linen pure, resplendent, and girded at their breasts with zones of gold.

⁶ And the seven angels came forth, having the seven plagues, from the temple, clothed in linen pure, resplendent, and girded at their breasts with zones of gold.

¹ AND I heard a great voice [from the temple, Polyglot.] saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour forth the seven vials of the wrath of Aloha upon the earth.

¹ AND I heard a great voice [from the temple, Polyglot.] saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour forth the seven vials of the wrath of Aloha upon the earth. ² And the first went, and poured his vial upon the earth: and there became an ulcer, evil and painful, upon the men who had the mark of the beast of prey, and who worshipped the image of him. ³ And the second angel poured his vial upon the sea; and it became blood as of the dead, and every living soul died which was in the sea. ⁴ And the third angel poured his vial upon the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, righteous art Thou, who art, and who wast, and just; because thou hast judged these. ⁶ For the blood of saints and of prophets have they shed, and blood to them hast thou given to drink for they are worthy. ⁷ And I heard from the altar [voices] saying, Yes, Lord God Almighty! True and just is thy judgment. ⁸ And the fourth poured out his vial upon the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire;

⁸ And the fourth poured out his vial upon the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire; ⁹ and men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of Aloha who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

⁹ and men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of Aloha who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured his vial upon the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness, and they gnawed their tongues from pain; ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains, and from their ulcers, and repented not of their works. ¹² And the sixth poured his vial upon the great river Phrat, and his waters were dried, that might be prepared the way of the kings who (are) from the rising of the sun. 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. ¹⁵ And BEHOLD, I COME, as the thief. Blessed is he who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest naked he walk, and they see his shame. ¹⁶ And they gathered them to a place which is called in Hebrew Armagedon. ¹⁷ And the seventh poured his vial upon the air; and a great voice went forth from the temple, from the throne, saying, IT IS DONE.

¹⁷ And the seventh poured his vial upon the air; and a great voice went forth from the temple, from the throne, saying, IT IS DONE. ¹⁸ And there were lightnings and thunders and voices, and a great movement, such as was not since men were upon earth, as this movement so great. ¹⁹ And the great city became three parts, and the city of the nations fell; and Babel the great was remembered before Aloha, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

¹⁹ And the great city became three parts, and the city of the nations fell; and Babel the great was remembered before Aloha, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail, as of a talent (in weight), was from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed Aloha from the plague of hail, because the plague thereof was exceeding great.

² with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and they who dwell in the earth have been made drunk by the wine of her fornication. 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. ⁵ And upon her forehead the name was written, Mystery: Babel the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of 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.

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.

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. ³ For that of the wine of her rage have all nations drunk; and the kings of the earth have with her committed fornication, and the merchants of the earth from the power of her luxuriance have become rich.

³ For that of the wine of her rage have all nations drunk; and the kings of the earth have with her committed fornication, and the merchants of the earth from the power of her luxuriance have become rich.

⁶ Deal with her as she hath dealt with you, and double to her according to her works. In the cup which she mingled mingle to her double.

¹⁰ standing from far, for fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, that great city Babel, that mighty city! For in one hour hath come thy judgment.

¹⁰ standing from far, for fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, that great city Babel, that mighty city! For in one hour hath come thy judgment. ¹¹ And the merchants of the earth shall be sorrowful over her, because no man buyeth of their burden.

¹⁷ And every captain and every pilot who navigateth to the place, and the mariners, and all who serve on the sea, stood from afar, ¹⁸ and cried, while beholding the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like to this great city!

¹⁸ and cried, while beholding the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like to this great city! ¹⁹ And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and lamenting, and saying, Woe, woe, that great city, in which were made rich all they who have ships in the sea, from the preciousness of her! For in one hour she becometh desolate!

¹⁹ And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and lamenting, and saying, Woe, woe, that great city, in which were made rich all they who have ships in the sea, from the preciousness of her! For in one hour she becometh desolate! ²⁰ Rejoice over her, heaven, and the angels and apostles and prophets, because Aloha hath judged your judgment upon her. ²¹ And an angel took a stone, as a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with force is cast down Babel the great city, and to be found no more. ²² And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of singers, and of trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more. And no artificer, nor art, shall more be found in thee.

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁹ And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who to the supper of the marriage feast of the Lamb are called. And he said to me, These my words are the true sayings of Aloha.

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.

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. 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. 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.

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. ²¹ And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat upon the horse; with that (sword) which went forth from his mouth. And all the fowls were satiated with their flesh.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection: upon them the second death hath not power; but they shall be priests of Aloha and of his Meshiha, and shall reign with him the thousand years.

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. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat thereon, from whom from his face fled earth and heaven; and place (as) to this was not found for them.

⁵ And He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these are the faithful and true words of Aloha.

⁸ But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, (shall have) their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death.

⁵ And night shall be no more: nor any need have they of the light of a lamp, or the light of the sun; for the Lord God enlighteneth them, and they will reign for ever and ever.
