"We give thee thanks, O Lord God, The Almighty, who art and who wast; For thou hast taken thy great power, And begun to reign. ¹⁸ The nations raged, and thy wrath came, And the time for the dead to be judged; The time for rewarding thy slaves, the prophets And the saints, and those who reverence thy name, Both small and great; And the time to destroy those who are destroying the earth." ¹⁹ Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen inside his sanctuary; and there followed lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has gone down to you in great fury, Because he knows that he has but little time." ¹³ When the dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the man child.

⁴ Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast?

¹⁵ And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death. ¹⁶ And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows, ¹⁷ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.

⁷ And he cried with a loud voice. "Fear God and give him glory, Because the hour of his judgment is come. And worship Him who made the heavens and the earth And the sea and springs of waters." ⁸ Then a second angel followed, crying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, Who has made all the nations drink the wine Of the frenzy of her fornication." ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, crying with a mighty voice.

They were clothed in white linen, pure and bright, and girt about the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four Living Creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. ⁸ The sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory and majesty of God; and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

¹ Then I heard a loud voice which came out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go, empty the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth." ² The first angel went and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And it was turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

And it was turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand of the beast, and who worshiped his image. ³ And the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea; and it became blood, like the blood of a corpse, and every living creature died—everything in the sea. ⁴ And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of waters; and they were turned into blood.

⁴ And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of waters; and they were turned into blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment. ⁶ For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, And thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved." ⁷ And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments."

⁷ And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments." ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and the sun was permitted to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with the terrible heat; and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues; yet they repented not, to give him glory.

⁹ And men were scorched with the terrible heat; and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues; yet they repented not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and men gnawed their tongues for pain,

¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and men gnawed their tongues for pain, ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores; yet of their deeds they did not repent.

¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores; yet of their deeds they did not repent. ¹² And the sixth poured his bowl upon the great river, the River Euphrates, and its water was dried up so as to make ready the way for the kings that come from the sunrising.

¹⁴ For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty.

¹⁶ And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is finished!"

²¹ And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is very great.

⁵ Upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINABLE THINGS OF THE EARTH." ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and I wondered with a great wonder. ⁷ And the angel said to me. "Why did you wonder? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns, that carried her.

⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom. the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated;

¹⁴ These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. And they who are with him are called and faithful and chosen." ¹⁵ And he also said to me. "The waters which you saw, on which the harlot takes her seat, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

¹⁷ For God has put it into their hearts to execute his purpose, in executing their common purpose, and by giving over their kingdoms to the beast, until the words of God shall be accomplished. ¹⁸ The woman whom you saw is the great city which holds sway over the kings of the earth."

² He shouted with a mighty cry, saying. "She is fallen! She is fallen, Babylon the great! Now she is a dwelling-place of demons, A stronghold of every foul spirit, A stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.

⁵ For her sins have been heaped to heaven, And God has remembered her iniquities.

¹⁰ Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! In one hour is your judgment come!' ¹¹ "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, For no one buys their merchandise any more— ¹² Merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones, Of pearls, and fine linen, and purple and silk and scarlet; All citron wood, and vessels of ivory, And vessels of rare wood and brass and iron and marble; ¹³ Cinnamon and balsam and spices and myrrh and frankincense; Wine and oil and fine flour and wheat; Cattle and sheep, and horses and chariots, And slaves, and the souls of men. ¹⁴ And the fruits which your soul lusted for are gone from you, And all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from you, And men shall find them nevermore. ¹⁵ "The traders in those things, who were enriched by her, shall stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ saying. "'Woe, woe, the great city! She who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, And adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! ¹⁷ In one hour so great riches is made desolate!" And every shipmaster and every one who sails to any port, And sailors, and all seafaring folk, ¹⁸ Stood at a distance, and as they saw the smoke from the burning city, cried, "'What city can compare with the great city?' ¹⁹ And they threw dust on their heads, and cried out, Weeping and mourning, saying, "'Woe, woe, the great city, In which all who have ships on the sea Grew rich through her luxury! For in one hour she is made desolate!'" ²⁰ Rejoice over her, O Heaven! Rejoice, ye saints, apostles, prophets! For God has now avenged you. ²¹ Then a mighty angel lifted a boulder like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, the great city, be overthrown with a mighty fall, And shall be found no more at all.

²³ No light of a lamp shall ever shine in you again; And in you shall the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride be heard no more. For your merchants were the princes of the earth; And with your sorcery were all the nations deceived; ²⁴ And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, And of all who have been slain upon the earth."

² For true and righteous are his judgments; For he has judged the great harlot Who was corrupting the earth with her fornication. On her he has avenged the blood of his slaves."

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who shouted in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, bond and free, small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army. ²⁰ And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed miracles in his presence to deceive those who had received the brand of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, blazing with brimstone.

And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.

¹ And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² He gripped the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, ³ and flung him into the bottomless pit, and shut and sealed it over him, so that he should seduce the nations no more, until the thousand years were completed. After that it is necessary to loose him for a little while.

⁸ and will go forth to seduce the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to marshal them for war—their number is like the sands of the sea.

¹⁰ and the devil who had been deceiving them was hurled into the lake of fire and brimstone, where lie also the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tortured day and night, forever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and One who sat thereon; from his presence fled earth and sky, and no place was found for them.

⁶ He also said: "It has now come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will freely give Of the spring of the Water of life.
