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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁷ And I heard from the altar [voices] saying, Yes, Lord God Almighty!

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁷ For Aloha hath ingiven it to their hands that they might do his will, and perform one will to give their kingdom to the wild beast, until shall be fulfilled the words of Aloha. 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.

⁵ For her sins have reached [Lit. adhered.] unto heaven, and Aloha hath remembered her iniquity.

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. ¹² No more (shall there be in thee) the burden of gold, and of silver and of precious stones, and of pearls; and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk and scarlet; and of every aromatic wood, and every vessel of elephant's-tooth, and every vessel of wood of great price, and of brass and of iron and of marble; ¹³ and cinnamon and omomun* and perfumes, and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil, and fine meal, and wheat, and cattle, and slaves, and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. [* Spikenard. Gr. text, - which the Syr. retains untranslated.] ¹⁴ And the fruit of the desire of thy soul hath gone from thee, and all those things which are delicious and brilliant have perished from thee, and the merchants of these things will find them no more. ¹⁵ They who were made rich by her from afar will stand for fear of her torment, and wail and be sorrowful, ¹⁶ saying, Woe, woe, that great city, which was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and golded with gold, and (adorned) with precious stones and pearls; for in one hour hath been destroyed wealth like this. 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! 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.

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. ²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those who had been killed upon the earth.

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁶ And he said to me, I am Olaph and Thau, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsteth I will give of the water of life freely.
