⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation:

And with thine enchantment were deceived all nations: ²⁴ and in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

¹ And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, "Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and the inhabiters of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication." ³ And he carried me away into the wilderness in the spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, which had ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And in her forehead was a name written, a mystery: "Great Babylon, the mother of whoredom and abominations of the earth." ⁶ And I saw the wife drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great marvel.

⁸ The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder — whose names are not written in the book of life from he beginning of the world — when they behold the beast that was, and is not.

⁷ After this I saw in a vision by night, and behold, the fourth beast was grim and horrible, and marvelous strong. It had great iron teeth, it devoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue under feet. It was far unlike the other beasts that were before it: for it had ten horns, whereof I took good heed.

¹¹ Then took I heed there unto, because of the voice of the proud words, which the horn spake. I beheld, till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given over to be burnt in the fire.

²⁶ But the judgment shall be kept, so that his power shall be taken from him: for he shall be destroyed, and perish at the last.

⁴⁵ The tents of his palace shall he pitch betwixt the two seas, upon the hill of the noble Sanctuary, for he shall come to the end of it, and then shall no man help him.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

²⁴ "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world.

¹⁸ Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

⁴ according as he had chosen us in him through love, before the foundation of the world was laid, that we should be saints, and without blame before him, through love.

³ Let no man deceive you by any means, for the Lord cometh not, except there come a departing first, and that that sinful man be opened, the son of perdition; ⁴ which is an adversary, and is exalted above all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he shall sit as God in the temple of God, and show himself as God. ⁵ Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And now ye know what withholdeth: even that he might be uttered at his time. ⁷ For the mystery of that iniquity doth he already work, which only looketh, till he be taken out of the way ⁸ and then shall that wicked be uttered, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the appearance of his coming,

² which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began:

²⁰ which was ordained before the world was made: but was declared in the last times for your sakes.

⁵ He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father, and before his angels.

¹ And the fifth angel blew, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth. And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. ² And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened by the reason of the smoke of the pit.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that came out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them: and shall overcome them, and kill them.

¹ And I stood on the sea sand. And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head, the name of blasphemy. ² And the beast which I saw, was like a cat of the mountain, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his seat, and great authority: ³ and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered at the beast, ⁴ and they worshipped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to war with him?" ⁵ And there was a mouth given unto him that spake great things, and blasphemies, and power was given unto him, to continue forty two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth unto blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. ⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation: ⁸ and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world. ⁹ If any man have an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that killeth with a sword, must be killed with a sword. Here is the patience, and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as did the dragon. ¹² And he did all that the first beast could do in his presence, and he caused the earth, and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

⁸ And there followed another angel, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen; that great city, for she made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication." ⁹ And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or on his hand, ¹⁰ the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he shall be punished in fire and brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up evermore. And they have no rest day nor night, which worship the beast, and his image, and whosoever receiveth the print of his name." ¹² Here is the patience of saints. Here are they that keep the commandments and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead, which hereafter die in the Lord: Even so, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; but their works shall follow them.'" ¹⁴ And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like unto the son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, "Thrust in thy sickle and reap: for the time is come to reap, for the corn of the earth is ripe." ¹⁶ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on 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 out from the altar, which had power over fire, and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, and said, "Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the earth: for her grapes are ripe." ¹⁹ And the angel thrust in his sickle on the earth, and cut down the grapes of the vineyard of the earth: and cast them into the great wine-vat of the wrath of God, ²⁰ and the wine-vat was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the fat, even unto the horse bridles by the space of a a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹ And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go your ways, pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth." ² And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a noisome and a sore botch upon the men, which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. ³ And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died in the sea. ⁴ And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and they turned to blood. ⁵ And I heard an angel say, "Lord which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast given such judgments, ⁶ for they shed out the blood of saints, and prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood to drink: for they are worthy." ⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, "Even so, Lord God almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments." ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given unto him to vex men with heat of fire. ⁹ And the men raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom waxed dark, and they gnawed their tongues for sorrow, ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven for sorrow, and pain of their sores, and repented not of their deeds. ¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. ¹⁵ "Behold I come as a thief. Happy is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments; Lest he be found naked, and men see his filthiness." ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, "It is done." ¹⁸ And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.

¹¹ And the beast that was, and is not, is even the eighth, and is one of the seven, and shall go into destruction.

¹⁵ and out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he trod the wine-vat of fierceness and wrath of almighty God. ¹⁶ And hath on his vesture and on his thigh, a name written, "King of Kings, and Lord of lords." ¹⁷ And I saw an angel stand in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly by the midst of heaven, "Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bond men, and of small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their warriors gathered together to make battle against him that sat on the horse and against his soldiers. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone: ²¹ and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were fulfilled with their flesh.

¹⁰ and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.

¹² And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds.

¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

⁴ And thou O Daniel, shut up these words, and seal the book, till the last time. Many shall go about here and there, and then shall knowledge increase."

⁸ I heard it well, but I understood it not. Then said I, "O my Lord, what shall happen after that?" ⁹ He answered, "Go thy way Daniel, for the words shall be closed up and sealed, till the last time: ¹⁰ and many shall be purified, cleansed and tried. But the ungodly shall live wickedly, and those wicked, as many as they be, shall have no understanding. As for such as have understanding, they shall regard it.

⁹ Who is wise to understand these things and hath wit to perceive them? For the ways of the LORD are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the wicked shall tumble in them.

¹¹ He answered, and said unto them, "It is given unto you to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹⁵ When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place: let him that readeth it, understand it:

¹ And I stood on the sea sand. And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head, the name of blasphemy.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath wit count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, threescore and six.

³ And he carried me away into the wilderness in the spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, which had ten horns.

⁴⁰ The fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. For like as iron bruiseth and breaketh all things: Yea even as iron beateth everything down, so shall it beat down and destroy. ⁴¹ Whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of earth and part of iron: that is a divided kingdom, which nevertheless shall have some of the iron ground mixed with it, forsomuch as thou hast seen the iron mixed with the clay. ⁴² The toes of the feet that were part of iron and part of clay, signifieth: that it shall be a kingdom partly strong and partly broken. ⁴³ And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with clay: they shall mingle themselves with the seed of simple people: and yet not continue one with another, like as iron will not be soldered with a potsherd.

⁷ After this I saw in a vision by night, and behold, the fourth beast was grim and horrible, and marvelous strong. It had great iron teeth, it devoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue under feet. It was far unlike the other beasts that were before it: for it had ten horns, whereof I took good heed. ⁸ And behold, there came up among them, another like horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked away. Behold, this horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.

²⁴ The ten horns, are ten kings that shall arise out of that kingdom, after whom there shall stand up another, which shall be greater than the first.

¹⁸ "Then lift I up mine eyes and saw, and behold, four horns. ¹⁹ And I said unto the angel, that talketh with me, 'What be these?' He answered me, 'These are the horses, which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem abroad.' ²⁰ And the LORD showed me four carpenters. ²¹ Then said I, 'What will these do?' He answered, and said, 'Those are the horns, which have so strawed Judah abroad, that no man durst lift up his head: But these are come to fray them away, and to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lift up their horn over the land of Judah, to scatter it abroad.'

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

¹⁰ and shall stand afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying, 'Alas, Alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city: For at one hour is her judgment come.'

¹⁷ for at one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off;

¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping, and wailing, and said, 'Alas, Alas, that great city wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made desolate.'

⁵ Woe be also unto Assyria, which is a staff of my wrath, in whose hand is the rod of my punishment. ⁶ For I shall send him among those hypocritical people, among the people that have deserved my disfavour shall I send him: that he may utterly rob them, spoil them, and tread them down like the mire in the street. ⁷ Howbeit, his meaning is not so, neither thinketh his heart of this fashion. But he imagineth only, how he may overthrow and destroy much people,

¹⁰ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief,

²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

²⁷ Only let your conversation be, as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may yet hear of you, that ye continue in one spirit, and in one soul laboring as we do to maintain the faith of the gospel,

² fulfil my joy, that ye draw one way, having one love, being of one accord, and of one mind,

¹⁷ For the LORD your God, he is God of Gods and Lord of lords; a great God, a mighty and a terrible which regardeth no man's person nor taketh gifts:

⁸ Desire of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the world for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

⁸ All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; thy righthand shall find out them that hate thee. ⁹ Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in the time of thy wrath; the LORD shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them. ¹⁰ Their fruit shalt thou root out of the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. ¹¹ For they intended mischief against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform. ¹² Therefore shalt thou put them to flight, and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them.

⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath.

² O give thanks unto the God of all gods! For his mercy endureth forever. ³ O thank the LORD of all lords! For his mercy endureth forever.

⁵ Let the saints be joyful with glory; let them rejoice in their beds. ⁶ Let the praises of God be in their mouth, and two-edged swords in their hands, ⁷ to be avenged of the heathen, and to rebuke the people; ⁸ to bind their kings in chains, and their nobles with links of iron, ⁹ that they may be avenged of them, as it is written. Such honour have all his saints. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

¹⁵ Through me, kings reign: through me, princes make just laws. ¹⁶ Through me, lords bear rule, and all judges of the earth execute judgment.

¹⁵ For lo, I will call all the officers of the kingdoms of the north, sayeth the LORD. And they shall come, and every one shall set his seat in the gates of Jerusalem, and in all their walls round about and through all the cities of Judah.

¹⁹ They shall fight against thee, but they shall not be able to overcome thee: for I am with thee, to deliver thee, sayeth the LORD."

⁴⁴ Behold, like as the Lion cometh up from the pleasant meadows of Jordan unto the green pastures of Ethan, so will I drive them forth, and make them run against her. But whom shall I choose out, and ordain to such a thing? For who is like me, or who will strive with me? Or what shepherd may stand against me?

⁴⁴ In the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall not perish, and his kingdom shall not be given over to another people. Yea, the same shall break and destroy all these kingdoms, but it shall endure forever.

⁴⁷ The king answered Daniel, and said, "Yea, of a truth your God is a God above all gods, and LORD above all kings, and an opener of secrets: seeing thou canst discover this mystery."

²⁵ He shall subdue three kings, and shall speak words against the highest of all: he shall destroy the saints of the most highest, and think that he may change times and laws. They shall be given under his power, until a time, two times, and a half a time. ²⁶ But the judgment shall be kept, so that his power shall be taken from him: for he shall be destroyed, and perish at the last. ²⁷ As for the kingdom, power, and all might that is under the heaven: it shall be given to the holy people of the most highest, whose kingdom is everlasting. Yea, all powers shall serve and obey him.'

⁹ And when he is come into the king's realm of the south, he shall be fain to turn again into his own land. ¹⁰ Wherefore his sons shall be displeased, and shall gather together a mighty great host of people: and one of them shall come, and go through like a water flood: then shall he return, and go forth with defying and boasting unto his own land. ¹¹ Then the king of the south shall be angry, and shall come forth to fight against the king of the north: Yea, he shall bring a great multitude of people together, and a great heap shall be given into his hand. ¹² These shall he carry away with great pride, forsomuch as he hath cast down so many thousands, nevertheless he shall not prevail.

²⁴ and so with craftiness to get him to the fattest place of the land, and to deal otherwise than either his fathers or grandfathers did. For he shall destroy the thing that they had robbed and spoiled, yea and all their substance: imagining thoughts against the strongholds, and that for a time. ²⁵ His power and heat shall be stirred up with a great army against the king of the south: wherethrough the king of the south shall be moved then unto battle, with a great mighty host also. Nevertheless, he shall not be able to stand, for they shall conspire against him.

⁷ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the multitude of people, as the dew of the LORD, and as the drops upon the grass, that tarrieth for no man, and waiteth of nobody. ⁸ Yea, the residue of Jacob shall be among the gentiles and the multitude of people, as the lion among the beasts of the wood, and as the Lion's whelps among a flock of sheep: which, when he goeth through, treadeth down, teareth in pieces, and there is no man that can help. ⁹ Thine hand shall be lift up upon thine enemies, and all thine adversaries shall perish.

⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: With a glorious power hath he sent me out to the Heathen, which spoiled you: for whoso toucheth you, shall touch the apple of his own eye.

¹⁴ For many are called and few be chosen.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.'

¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name he should give it you.

⁴ And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" ⁵ And he said, "What art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it shall be hard for thee to kick against the prick."

³⁰ Moreover, which he appointed before, them he also called; and which he called, them also he justified; which he justified, them he also glorified.

³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us.

²⁴ Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority, and power.

¹⁵ which appearing, when the time is come, he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, King of Kings, and Lord of lords,

⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with worldly business; and that, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings, consider the Ambassador and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; ² which was faithful to him that made him even as was Moses in all his house.

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, that ye should show the virtues of him that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,

⁵ and from Jesus Christ which is a faithful witness, and first begotten of the dead: and Lord over the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

²¹ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my seat, even as I overcame and have sitten with my father, in his seat.

¹² And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun was as black as sackcloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood: ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth from her her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. ¹⁴ And heaven vanished away, as a scroll when it is rolled together. And all mountains and isles were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills, ¹⁶ and said to the hills, and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb, ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come; And who can endure it?"

⁶ And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to blow. ⁷ The first angel blew, and there was made hail and fire, which were mingled with blood, and they were cast into the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt, and all green grass was burnt.

¹ And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his father's name written in their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder. And I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps. ³ And they sang as it were a new song, before the seat, and before the four beasts, and the elders and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are they, which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from men being the first fruits unto God and to the lamb,

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty.

¹⁴ And the warriors which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure raynes:

⁴ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the overflowings of ungodliness made me afraid. {TYNDALE: For the waves of death have closed me about, and the floods of Belial have feared me.}

⁷ who stilleth the raging of the sea, the roaring of his waves, and the madness of the people.

³ The floods are risen, O LORD. The floods have lift up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. ⁴ The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly; but yet the LORD that dwelleth on high is mightier.

⁷ Behold, the Lord shall bring mighty and great floods of water upon them: namely, the king of the Assyrians with all his power. Which shall pour out his furiousness upon every man, and run over all their banks. ⁸ And shall break in upon Judah, increasing in power, till he get him by the throat. He shall fill also the wideness of thy land with his broad wings, O Immanuel."

⁴² The sea is risen over Babylon, and hath covered her with his great waves.

⁵⁵ when the LORD destroyeth them, and when he driveth out the high stomach and proud boasting, wherewith they have been as furious as the waves of great water floods, and made great crakes with their words.

¹¹ And he said unto me, "Thou must prophesy again among the people, and nations, and tongues, and to many kings."

⁹ And they of the people and kindreds, and tongues, and they of the nations, shall see their bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their bodies to be put in graves.

⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation: ⁸ and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

¹ And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, "Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters,

⁹ If a priest's daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore she shall be burnt with fire.

³¹ Yet they of mine own household say, 'Who shall let us to have our belly full of his flesh?'

² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

¹⁷ For lo, I shall bring up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver, nor be desirous of gold. ¹⁸ Then shall young men's bows be knapped asunder. The Medes shall have no pity upon women with child, and their faces shall not spare the children.

⁴¹ Behold, there shall come a people from the North, with a great bound of men, and many kings shall stand up from the ends of the earth. ⁴² They bear bows and bucklers, cruel are they and unmerciful. Their voice roareth like the raging sea, they ride upon horses, and come weaponed to fight against thee, O Babylon.

³⁷ Behold therefore, I will gather together all thy lovers, unto whom thou hast made thy self common. Yea, and all them whom thou favourest, and euery one that thou hatest: and will uncover thy shame before them, that they all may see thy filthiness. ³⁸ Moreover, I will judge thee as a breaker of wedlock and a murderer, and recompense thee thine own blood in wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ I will give thee over into their power, that shall break down thy stews, and destroy thy brothel houses: they shall strip thee out of thy clothes, all thy fair and beautiful Jewels shall they take from thee, and so let thee sit naked and bare. ⁴⁰ Yea, they shall bring the common people upon thee, which shall stone thee, and slay thee down with their swords. ⁴¹ They shall burn up thy houses, and punish thee in the sight of many women. Thus will I make thy whoredom to cease, so that thou shalt give out no more rewards. ⁴² Should I make my wrath to be still, take my jealousy from thee, be content, and no more to be displeased? ⁴³ Seeing thou rememberest not the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me to wrath in all these things? Behold therefore, I will bring thine own ways upon thine head, sayeth the LORD God: howbeit, I never did unto thee, according to thy wickedness and all thy abominations. ⁴⁴ "'Behold, all they that use common proverbs, shall use this proverb also against thee: 'Like mother, like daughter.'

⁴⁵ O ye all that love virtue and righteousness, judge them! Punish them as adulterers and murderers ought to be judged and punished. For they are breakers of wedlock, and the blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ Wherefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Bring a great multitude of people upon them, and make them be scattered and spoiled: ⁴⁷ these shall stone them and gore them with their swords. They shall slay their sons and daughters and burn up their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ Thus will I destroy all such filthiness out of the land, that all women may learn not to do after your uncleanness. ⁴⁹ And so they shall lay your filthiness upon your own selves, and ye shall be punished for the sins that ye have committed with your Idols: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

⁵ Behold, the second beast was like a Bear, and stood upon the one side. Among his teeth in his mouth he had three great long teeth, and it was said unto him, 'Arise, eat up, much flesh.'

¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared.

¹ And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, "Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and the inhabiters of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication."

¹⁰ they are also seven kings. Five are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come. When he cometh he must continue a space.

¹² And the ten horns which thou seest, are ten kings, which have received no kingdom, but shall receive power as kings at one hour with the beast. ¹³ These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

⁸ Therefore shall her plagues come at one day; death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.

¹⁶ and saying, 'Alas alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls: ¹⁷ for at one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off;

¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bond men, and of small and great."

²⁷ Praised be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath so inspired the king's heart, to garnish the house of God at Jerusalem:

²⁵ whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, and dealt untruly with his servants.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.

¹ The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like as are the rivers of water; he may turn it whithersoever he will.

¹⁷ But Israel shall be saved in the LORD, which is the everlasting salvation: They shall not come to shame nor confusion, world without end.

¹⁰ In the beginning of a thing, I show the end thereof: and I tell before, things that are not yet come to pass. With one word is my device accomplished, and fulfilleth all my pleasure. ¹¹ I call a bird out of the East, and all that I take in hand, out of far countries, as soon as I command, I bring it hither: as soon as I think to devise a thing, I do it.

⁶ And now will I deliver all these lands into the power of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. The beasts also of the field shall I give him to do him service. ⁷ And all people shall serve him, and his son, and his child's children, until the time of the same land be come also: Yea, many people and great kings shall serve him.

⁴⁰ And I will set up an everlasting covenant with them; Namely: that I will never cease to do them good, and that I will put my fear in their hearts, so that they shall not run away from me.

¹⁶ Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes. ¹⁷ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Thou art he, of whom I have spoken afore time by my servants the prophets of Israel; which prophesied, in those days and years, that I should bring thee upon them.

⁷ Then heard I the man with the linen clothes, which stood above upon the waters of the flood: when he held up his right and left hand unto heaven, and sware by him which liveth forever, that, "It shall tarry for a time, two times and half a time: when the power of the holy people is clean scattered abroad, then shall all these things be fulfilled."

³ Then entered Satan into Judas, whose surname was Iscariot, which was of the number of the twelve:

²² And the son of man goeth as it is appointed: But woe be to that man by whom he is betrayed."

³⁷ For I say unto you that, yet, that which is written must be performed in me: for those things which are written of me have an end."

³⁵ If he called them gods unto whom the word of God was spoken — and the scripture cannot be broken -

³⁹ Therefore could they not believe, because that Isaiah saith again, ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts: that they should not see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted and I should heal them."

² And when supper was ended, after that, the devil had put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

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

²⁴ And they said one to another, "Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it." That the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 'They parted my raiment among them, and on my coat did cast lots.' And the soldiers did such things indeed.

²⁸ After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst."

²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and also Pontius Pilate with the gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together: ²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

¹⁶ Thanks be unto God, which put in the heart of Titus the same good mind toward you.

¹⁰ and in all deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved. ¹¹ And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe lies: ¹² that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Err not, my dear brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above and cometh down from the father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither is he changed unto darkness.

¹¹ And long white garments were given unto every one of them. And it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season until the number of their fellows, and brethren, and of them that should be killed as they were, were fulfilled.
