I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns. ⁸ The beast which thou seest was, and is not; and shall come up out of the abyss [of hell], and shall go into perdition: and the dwellers upon earth will wonder, (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,) when they shall see the beast which was, and is not, though he is. ⁹ Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman is seated even upon them. ¹⁰ And these are seven kings: five have fallen, and the one exists, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must abide but a little while. ¹¹ And the beast which was, and is not, though he is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven, and shall go away into perdition. ¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms; but will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast. ¹³ They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful. ¹⁵ And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, on which the whore sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her up with fire. ¹⁷ For God hath put it into their hearts to do his will, to perform one purpose, even to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. ¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which holds dominion over the kings of the earth.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ And I saw another beast rising up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, though he spake as the dragon. ¹² And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth, and those who inhabit therein, to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.

⁸ And another angel followed, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because all nations have been made to drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom. ⁹ And a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any person worship the beast, and his image, and receive the brand upon his forehead, and upon his right hand, ¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God, which is mixed undiluted with water in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: ¹¹ and the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no respite day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the brand of his name. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints: here are they 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 henceforward: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may have rest from their labours; but their works follow after them. ¹⁴ And I saw, and, lo! a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat one like to a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And anther angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud, Put in thy sickle, and reap: for the hour is come for thee to reap; because the harvest of the earth is fully ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came forth out of the temple which is in heaven, having also himself a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came forth from the altar, having authority over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him who held the sharp sickle, saying, Put in thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her clusters are ripe. ¹⁹ And the angel thrust in his sickle upon the earth, and gathered the grapes of the vine of the earth, and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood issued from the wine-press, as high as the horses' bridles, for the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹ AND I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the vases of the wrath of God upon the earth. ² And the first angel went, and poured out his vase upon the earth; and there came an ulcer malignant and painful upon the men that had the brand of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image. ³ And the second angel poured his vase upon the sea and it became blood as of a dead man: and every living creature died in the sea. ⁴ And the third angel poured out his vase 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, O Lord, who art, and who wast, even the holy one, because thou hast judged these things. ⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. ⁷ And I heard another angel from the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments. ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vase upon the sun; and there was given to it a charge to burn men with fire. ⁹ And the men were scorched with a fierce heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who had power over these plagues: and they repented not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his vase upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their own tongues from anguish, ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, in the midst of their anguish, and of their ulcers, and repented not of their works. ¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vase upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings who come from the rising of the sun might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of demons doing wonders, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole habitable globe, to gather them together unto the battle of that great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, that he walk not about naked, and men see his shame. ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vase into the air; and a loud voice come out from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. ¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not from the day that men were upon the earth, an earthquake of such a kind, and so great.

¹¹ And the beast which was, and is not, though he is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven, and shall go away into perdition.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth proceeded a sharp sword, that therewith he may smite the heathen and he will rule them with an iron sceptre: and he will tread the wine-press of the fury and of the wrath of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath upon his vesture and upon his thigh this name written, king of kings, and lord of lords. ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls which fly in the midst of heaven, Come hither and flock together unto the supper of the great God: ¹⁸ that ye may eat the carcasses of kings, and the carcasses of military commanders, and the carcasses of mighty men, and the carcasses of horses, and of those who ride upon them, and the carcasses of all, freemen and slaves, both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with him that was sitting upon the horse, and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was seized upon, and with him the false prophet who performed the wonders before him, by which he deceived those who received the brand of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. They were both hurled alive into the lake of fire which burneth with brimstone. ²¹ And all the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which issued from his mouth: and all the fowls were gorged with their carcasses.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹⁵ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected in the holy place, (let him that readeth, mark this,)

³ And he bore me away in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.

¹⁶ And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her up with fire.

¹⁰ standing afar off through terror of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that strong city! how in one hour is thy judgment come upon thee!

¹⁷ And every pilot, and all the crew in the ships, and the mariners, and as many as exercise their labours on the sea, stood afar off,

¹⁹ And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, by which all who occupied ships on the sea were enriched from her opulence! how in one hour is she made desolate!

²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

¹⁴ For many are called, but few elect.

⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you.

⁴ and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? ⁵ Then said he, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting: It is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.

³⁰ But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.

³⁷ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

²⁴ Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.

¹⁵ which in his own appointed times he will shew forth, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

⁴ No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.

¹ WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ; ² who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

⁹ But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood,

¹⁰ Fear nothing from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day's tribulation: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo! there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as the fig-tree sheddeth her early ripe figs when shaken by a mighty wind: ¹⁴ and the heaven was removed away as a volume rolled up and every mountain and island were removed out of their places: ¹⁵ and the kings of the earth, and the grandees, and the rich, and the military commanders, and the men in power, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves, and in the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?

⁶ And the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. ⁷ And the first angel blew the trumpet, and there were hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast on the earth; and a third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

¹ AND I saw, and lo, a lamb stood upon the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having the name of his Father inscribed on their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the roar of loud thunder; and I heard the sound of harpers harping on their harps: ³ and they sang as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living beings, and the presbyters: and no person could learn that song, but the hundred forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are they who have not defiled themselves with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth: these have been redeemed among men, as first-fruits to God, and to the Lamb.

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of demons doing wonders, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole habitable globe, to gather them together unto the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁴ And the hosts which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

¹¹ And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again before many people, and nations, and tongues, and monarchs.

⁹ And they of the people and tribes and tongues and nations will look upon their corpses three days and half, and they will not permit their corpses to be laid in sepulchres.

⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given to him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation. ⁸ And all the inhabitants who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

¹ AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vases, came to me, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters:

¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vase upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings who come from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

¹ AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vases, came to me, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters: ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and all the inhabitants of the world have intoxicated themselves with the wine of her whoredom.

¹⁰ And these are seven kings: five have fallen, and the one exists, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must abide but a little while.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms; but will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast. ¹³ They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast.

⁸ Therefore in one hour shall all her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine: and she shall be consumed with fire; because mighty is the Lord God, who judgeth her.

¹⁶ and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and overlaid with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! how in one hour is so great wealth laid waste! ¹⁷ And every pilot, and all the crew in the ships, and the mariners, and as many as exercise their labours on the sea, stood afar off,

¹⁸ that ye may eat the carcasses of kings, and the carcasses of military commanders, and the carcasses of mighty men, and the carcasses of horses, and of those who ride upon them, and the carcasses of all, freemen and slaves, both small and great.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas called Iscariot, though he was of the number of the twelve.

²² And the Son of man indeed goeth, as is decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed!

³⁷ For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.

³⁵ If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

² And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;)

¹⁸ I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.

²⁴ They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots." So the soldiers therefore did these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put the same solicitude for you into the heart of Titus.

¹⁰ and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³ Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man: ¹⁴ but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared. ¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change.

¹¹ And to each of them were given white robes, and it was told them that they should wait yet a little longer space, until the number of their fellow-servants and their brethren, who should be slain as well as they, should be completed.

⁷ but that in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he shall sound, then shall the mystery of God be completed, as he spake by his own servants the prophets.

¹ NOW it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole land should be registered.

⁴ And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth: and the dragon placed himself before the woman who was ready to be delivered, that when she should bring forth, he might devour her babe.
